I may have to sell my convertible. I've owned her for 7 years, collected just about everything to do the GTS clone and I'm in a bad spot with taxes due (overdue). I know I'll never get what I've spent on it back out but I didn't plan on selling it either, got about $14K into it.
I recently saw an almost identical stock original car on eBay last week sell for $8,400 and it was rusty compared to this one (back in MA). Mine has a little above the wheel wells and the lower rear quarters were repaired at one time but were not rotted through the trunk extensions. The guy I got it from said it wasn't driven in the winter and I believe him, I grew up in WI and know what salt rust looks like. The floor pans and trunk floor are very nice with no rust through or major issues. The top was replaced just before I got the car and it has been stored inside with me. The odometer shows 85K and I have a Indiana Title that states mileage as actual.
The car was born a Q5 turquiose car with a 273, automatic and power top. The engine in it is a warmed over 318 and it is getting some valve guide leakage so she puffs a little now. I have a 72 340 w/ 30K on a rebuild, I heard the motor run before it was pulled from the Cuda'. It also has an 8 3/4 one legger and someone converted this car to big bolt pattern at one time but left it drum brakes??.
Parts I have for it are bucket seats, console, column, GTS hood, 340 air cleaner, NEW KH brakes w/ power brake parts, NEW stainless steel brake lines, NEW front suspension including lower control arms with tabs and big block sway bar, 340 torsion bars, NOS exhaust tips, excellent replacement wiring, NEW tail light lenses, complete A/C setup with correct core support, large A/C radiator, 8 3/4 SBP axles, 3.55 Suregrip 489 chunk, NOS rear view mirror, 4 14" SBP 14 X 5.5 steelies, mag wheel hubcaps and that's all I can think of for now but I know there is some stuff I missed.
Basically I want $11K for the car including all the parts, $8K with nothing extra and flat hood back on it. I will be happy to take additional pics for a serious party but please refrain from asking if you just want to see. PM me your email because it's the only way to send pics to you.
Car is located in Fresno, CA.
Thanks, John
