I BOUGHT THIS CAR A FEW MONTHS BACK FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO HAS HAD THE CAR STORED IN A HEATED BUILDING SINCE 1979. I STARTED TO RESTORE IT BUT SOMETHING HAS COME UP AND NOW I AM RELUCTANTLY SELLING IT. HERES A FEW DETAILS ON THE CAR THE CAR HAS ALL NEW FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION.INCLUDING REAR LEAF SPRING,SHOCKS,COMPLETE REAR CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLIES. HALF SHAFTS. EMERGENCY BRAKES AND CABLES. THE FRONT HAS NEW BALL JOINTS, COIL SPRINGS,SHOCKS,TIE RODS, POWER STEERING CONTROL VALVE. BRAKES:ALL NEW ROTORS, PADS ,STAINLESS CALIPERS, AND HOSES THE BODY IS STRAIGHT WITH WITH NO DAMAGE. THERE IS ONE SMALL SPOT ON THE LOWER RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WELL THAT HAS A SMALL DAMAGED AREA.(SEE PICTURES) THE PAINT ON THE CAR IS OLD (SOME OF IT IS ORIGINAL) IT LOOKS GOOD FROM 20 TO 30 FEET AWAY BUT IT HAS MANY CHECKS AND SPOTS THAT ARE STARTING TO PEEL. IT NEEDS NEW. FRAME IS NICE NO SIGNS OF ROT OR PREVIOUS DAMAGE. ENGINE:350 300HP THE ORIGINAL OWNER TOLD ME THAT HE FORGOT TO PUT ANTIFREEZE IN IT ONE WINTER BEFORE HE STORED IT AND THE BLOCK CRACKED . HE FOUND ANOTHER BLOCK AND HAD THE MACHINE SHOP PUT ALL THE ORIGINAL PARTS ON THIS 1969 4 BOLT MAIN BLOCK THAT IS IN THE CAR NOW. SO IT STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL INTAKE ,HEADS,CARB,DIST, ALTERNATOR,OIL PAN.VALVE COVERS. AT THE SAME TIME HE HAD THE ENGINE REBUILT SO IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 20K ON IT NOW. THE ENGINE RUNS NICE WITH NO SMOKE OR NOISES. THE TRANSMISSION IS THE ORIGINAL MUNCIE M20 WITH THE VIN STAMPED IN THE CASE. IT RUNS OUT SMOOTH AND SHIFTS LIKE IT SHOULD. TIRES AND WHEELS ARE ORIGINAL RALLY WITH ALMOST NEW BFG'S EXHAUST: THE CAR HAD SIDE PIPES ADDED VERY EARLY IN ITS LIFE.WHEN I GOT THE CAR THE MUFFLERS WERE SHOT SO I BOUGHT A NEW PAIR. THEY SOUND GREAT. INTERIOR: IT HAS NEW CARPET SEAT COVERS AND DOOR PANELS ALL PURCHASED FROM AL KNOCH. I ASO HAD THEM INSTALL THE SEAT COVERS. SO THEY WERE DONE RIGHT. THE DASH PAD IS CRACK FREE. ALL SEAT BELTS ARE PRESENT AND IN GOOD SHAPE. ALL GAUGES WORK INCLUDING THE TACH,SPEEDOMETER,OIL PRESSURE.VOLTMETER,WATER TEMP, THE CLOCK DOES NOT WORK RADIO IS AFTERMARKET BUT IT DOES WORK. HEADLIGHTS AND WIPER DOOR OPEN AND CLOSE LIKE THEY SHOULD BUT IT DOES NEED A NEW WIPER MOTOR. CHROME: ITS ORIGINAL AND STILL SHINES BUT IT SHOULD HAVE NEW. RUSTFREE WINDSHIELD FRAME AND BIRDCAGE. ALL IN ALL THIS A VERY NICE CAR THAT HAS BEEN STORED FOR MANY YEARS INSIDE SO THE ELEMENTS DID NOT DAMAGE THIS CAR.MUCH WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE ON THIS CAR. IT RUNS AND DRIVES VERY WELL AND I WOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT HOME IF YOU WIN IT. I HAVE LISTED IT AS A EASY PROJECT BECAUSE IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE PAINTED AND SOME VERY MINOR THINGS NEED ATTENTION LIKE THE WIPER MOTOR.
