Vehicle Detail
I have owned this car for 4 years now. I bought it with the intention of making a very cool street rod out of it. To date, I have basically done nothing with it, and I don't see where I am going to have the time in the near future, so it is time for the next guy to have the fun. I bought it because it is a rust free California car ( I kept a copy of the CA title ) with a lot of the hard work already done. It was a heater delete car so it does not have heater controls. Still has no heat or A/C. It has a 1967 Camaro sub frame professionally grafted onto the original frame stubs. ( see pics ). All new wiring. All new slightly custom interior. Tilt wheel. New Coker wide white walls. F.Y.I., Those are L-78-15 tires with no clearance issues, so lowering the car will not be a problem. New top. ( needs final adjustments ) power steering. Engine is a 305 Chevy 4 barrel with a 350 trans. and a Camaro 10 bolt rear end. Car drives out really fine. Not super fast or loud, but peppy, very dependable, and easy on gas. The paint is just an old enamel job that has faded on the trunk area due to the California sun beating down on it. I am going to rate all chrome and stainless steel trim as driver quality so there are no mis-understandings. Some items such as the rear bumper are actually newly plated, and most of the stainless trim is in good to excellent in my view, but there is so much of it, I wouldn't know where to start accurately describing every piece of it. Please look closely at all pictures. I am not trying to hide anything or mis-lead anyone. All in all, it could stay as is with some great patina, be dropped to the ground as a lead sled, or go all out as a street rod. These Pontiac convertibles with all of their art deco trim are hard to come by. This one is at a great starting point to make it your own car and reasonably priced. I know I am missing something here. I will add more info as I think of it. NO TRADES NO TRADES NO TRADES For those of you over seas; I have sold quite a few cars to guys in Austria, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Germany, etc. so I know how that works. Now for the business end. I encourage you, or someone you trust or hire, to come by and check out the vehicle in person. I will refund your deposit if the vehicle does not match the above description. The vehicle does not leave here until all funds clear my bank. Bank and cashiers checks can take up to 10 business days. My bank will give me a letter stating the date when the check will clear. I will forward a copy of the letter to you. Bank transfers can take up to 2 days depending on what time of the day it is initiated on your end. Again, my bank will let me know when it clears. Cash is great if picking it up in person. Call me at 314-732-592five to get honest answers to all of your questions BEFORE YOU BID. If you need permission from your wife or another person, please get it BEFORE you bid. Thanks, Dave One more time, NO TRADES, Please do not ask. If you do not know, understand, and accept what "no trades" means, then you surely do not have a car that I would not be interested in. I do not respond to low ball offers, text messages, or take offers over the phone. If you want to make an offer, please do so through ebay email. Include your name and contact info. If I feel you are a serious buyer, I will call you back. If you do not hear back from me, then my vehicle must be out of your price range. Once my vehicle hits it's reserve price, I will not end the auction. I do not give out my reserve price. Too many knuckleheads out there that like to play games with bidding just under the reserve amount with no intention of actually buying a vehicle. Makes it look like schill bidding is going on. If you have a feed back rating less that 100% or zero feedback, you might want to check with me before bidding. I will sometimes block or cancel bids if I get a bad feeling for the bidder. For you new members, please don't bid unless you know and accept how ebay works and understand that you are legally committing to purchase if you bid. Not following through with a purchase after winning an auction for a new member can result in ebay canceling your membership. Thanks to all, good luck with your bidding, and have a great day, Dave If you need a good, reasonable, fast, and dependable shipper, please try Mark and Lorrie at 479-799-1609.
