Car has clear title, is sold as is where is, located in Mountain Home, Arkansas (Baxter County). Buyer is responsible for shipping, seller will make himself available at time of pick up.
Bought this car running hot. Would hang around 190 when running, then skyrocket to over 300 when shut off. (Last time it pegged and broke the temp gauge.) So, it may have a blown head gasket or cracked block. (Sounds stock, not a hot cam.) (Have not run vacuum tests, coolant vapor test, etc. I’m done tinkering.)
It will start and idle as is. Has new ignition switch, but return spring is sticky. New (rebuilt) engine starter.
I have a stripped 350 4-bolt (no heads) that the winning bidder can have with the car (or leave, car price remains the same), has never been inspected or tested.
Outside of car is primer gray. You can see some overspray from where the doorjambs were misted black.
Excellent starting point to build the car your way. (I'd keep, but I’m getting older and less into projects, have a 4WD that may be my last.)
Body looks good, the rear quarters have been replaced. Has SS badging, but not an SS.
Glass is all good. I have most, if not all, the trim for the glass.
Nice set of vintage wheels (high dollar on Summit).
Floor pans have been repaired and look good, as does the trunk (needs trunk lock).
Front buckets and rear seat have been newly recovered (black vinyl).
New gas tank / sending unit. Dash gas gauge works.
Headlights did work, but today they didn’t come on. Tail lights, turn signals, are hot, but need blubs. Wiper motor works, is a little noisy, no arms / blades. Heater motor did blow, but now the switches are very hard to move and I didn’t hear it blow, hoses are not hooked to the core, FYI. No horn or radio.
The transmission is a 5-speed manual with hydraulic clutch. Not sure of make or model.
Has brand new 2.5” dual exhaust all the way out the back like factory with 2 new Flowmaster 40 mufflers.
Power steering, but no power brakes.
I have not driven this car at speed, just around the yard. I was prepared to repair everything that it may need; i.e. rebuild front end, brake job, rebuild engine, interior kit, etc. New owner should, too.
Great father son / daughter project. The sky's the limit on the potential value of this car when finished correctly. Every $ used to bring it up to snuff is very well spent. (Nobody's doing anything twice here; just once & that's the value.)
I can't do any better than $10K, my "gut" thinks a smart guy in his carport could have this running good in 2 days & $400 (don't hold me to that).
$300 PayPal deposit due within 24 hours of sale. Balance due in 7 days by bank transfer (preferred) or cash, no check of any kind.
Thank you for taking your time to look and if you have any questions please write.
