Let's please stop screwing around with the $500-3000 bids. We both know the car is worth more than that and I'm not going to part with it because you think I have to. AndI have heard everyone wants an old muscle car these days. Cool. I've heard the market is soft on big luxury cars right now. Also cool. If you want to tear it up with your $40K Camaro sweating your cheeks off with crank windows and still get beat as there will always be someone faster - go for it.I have another car that most likely has beaten you on Woodward already and it has not really changed my life. If I can't get close to $5K for this car, I'll shelf it for my son. Now, if you want a turn-key, 365 HP'60s icon, with almost every luxury available at the time including one of the only American cars ever with glass headlight covers, start bidding.
I've owned this car for the past 8 years and done almost allof the improvements and maintenancework myself. The carhas a factory 365HP 413/ 4 barrel and an original interior. Basically the car is loaded with every option except cruise control and tilt column. The dash has zero rips/cracks and seats are near perfect.The headliner is pretty flawless. The carpet has some fading and wear but has no rips or tears. Overall the interior door panels are in great shape with minor wear for their age.All features work except for the dash clock. I just never bothered to have it redone. It's kept in a heated garage.
The paint and body have some issues but overall solid doors, floors and rockers. There is one rusted/flakey bracket in the unibody on the driver underside, but has never been a problem and the passenger rear door has show through rust at the pinch weld in one spot. I went through great effort to get all clean/straight trim back on the car inside and out where it was needed.
I bought it from a guy who owned it since 1966 It had 46000 miles on the clock when I bought it and he swore that was authentic. At 49000 miles, the odometer stuck as some of these do because the plastic gears strip, so actual miles are not known. The speedo works fine. The car is very reliable and is my daily driver in nice weather. The doors, hood, and trunkall line up very well and open/close without issues. I replaced the passenger side window/roof sealas it had a rip - the other side is original and in great shape, but I have the spare new one that comes with the car and these seals are not cheap.I have about 7500 into this car plus years of my time, and if you guys don't want to part with about 5K, I will shelf it for my son. At least he will appreciate it. Here are more details:
