Sorry I thought I put the price in the ad. It is $65,000.00 Thanks for your posts. Will check with the owner on the Rev limiter and what the deal is with the heater core. Also typo on the VIN it is G.
This one has been listed off and on for a few years now, so I think many of us here are aware of the car. I’ve heard feedback from several people who have found the seller to be… difficult to work with. There have also been some concerns over the price of the car vs the actual condition. Unfortunately, I think these things are contributing to keeping this car from finding a new home
Well you hit the nail on the head. I was asked to represent the seller as a favor to one of my collectors. And I am happy to report that we are actually getting along very well after a somewhat rocky start. I have been able to have him listen to reason on many of the prices so far. The information I have included in the post is from an appraisal that was done recently. We are certainly open to offers but the offer really should be based on a personal inspection. It’s cold as hell up there now but the car may be viewed at any time. Almost all of the cars in the collection are low mileage and all have been well maintained and stored.
I don’t want to hijack the classifieds here so if you want to send me a private message I will send you the list. But a lot of American metal from the 50’s 60’s and 70’s.
I have attached a few pictures.
Cargirl, are you still in touch with the owner? I was when it was advertised but have lost touch with them. I’d really love to come to a deal with them and save the car and get he back on the road.
I have a pretty good idea. I’ve been following this one for YEARS now (since at least 2012), as well as the more recent inquiries on the various forums, LOL! Dave and Phil are great - no doubt about it.
I’m glad the owner has finally come down to a realistic price. I think he is much more likely to find a serious buyer now, but you guys might need to do some more digging on what other original, rare and expensive parts are missing.
Carburetor - part number pic of the air horn
Distributor - part number pic of the back side of the dist body
Radiator - part number pic along the upper passenger side ~ near the battery
Fan shroud - part number along the middle of the driver side edge
Cooling fan - part number on each fin / blade.
Hmm… Maybe a shot of the exhaust manifolds?
Just throwing these out there for you. I’m sure knowledgeable buyers are going to ask about them.
Don’t take this the wrong way but I think at $38,000.00 the car is priced right for what we know so far. In other words “As Is.” This guy is 82 years old and it is a one owner car with low mileage. If I get real interest we can look for those numbers but I don’t think it will effect the asking price much. It is in the Eliminator registry and it has a Marti Report all of it is available including detailed pictures if someone wants to e-mail me at kelly@classictag.net.
