I deleted the PM from someone in Canada that was asking about this car. I thought I would post a picture or two finally.
Any idea how many were built?

Well, that's aftermarket A/C, so.......but yeah, this car is cool! This is my kinda car! Toss an 833 OD in it and make it a daily driver! Hey, is that one of those old smog device boxes on the pass. side fender there? Or an ignition module? She looks like she's been a' sleepin' for over 20 years!

I am actually selling off all my "project cars" and parts cars. I bought this car to get most of the 4 speed stuff and decided it was way to complete to start messing with it. So I never did anything with it. Now after fighting 2 different shops for almost 5 years to get my wifes 70 Duster painted. I am going to sell all the projects.

By the photos, this car looks like it has been in a flood. Looks to be salvageable though.

No flood..just the typical Texas panhandle dust. And there is plenty to go around. Here is a pic as I found the car, which was about 2008(ish)? Also here is a pic of the "dust storm" from the day before I took the other pics.
Would be a cool sleeper for sure. Any chance you have a fender tag pic. carcrazy.

Yep... I need to vacuum the dust off. The dust is like a powder it is so fine. But is shows to be a 273 4 speed car!

Too many projects
That was probably me asking about the door trim. Hard to find that 4 dr trim in good shape.

i love oddball stuff!!! my local salvage-yard has a 66 valiant, 273, factory a/c, console shift, bucket seat more-door sitting in his yard. i had to decode the fender tag because i assumed someone made it that way, it seemed so out of place. Awesome nonetheless!! he also has a turbo 1981 buick riviera 3.8 V6, draw through setup topped with a quadrajet, it drove into the yard.....

Yep, that is why I kept this car together. I thought someone added the 4 speed and I was going to get some of the parts. But after looking into the fender tag....I couldn't do it. Because I like oddball cars we also ended up with a Spirit of 76 Truck (225 4 speed manual) and a 70 D500 (318 with 2 speed axle).
That is super cool! How may, hard to say, I have seen one or two. And a couple 4spd wagons. Wish it was closer.

Think it is worth somewhere between 600-750?

Hows the 1/4s and the floors and other places ? You ever up in tulsa ?

The car is just outside Amarillo Texas about 6 miles off I40, not in the DFW area. But I thought I would ask here what it might be worth. The lower 1/4's will need patched. However it is not anywhere near needing complete 1/4's. I honestly have never checked the floors and have never opened the trunk. Once I sell a 8 or 10 more cars off I will load this car on the trailer and get it in the shop and vacuum as much dust off as I can and haul it to the car wash. Then get the inside cleaned up and take some better pics. After that I will have some room to store it inside until it sells.
