1970 Sport Fury GT Patina Queen On offer at NO RESERVE, is a fully numbers matching, 1970 Sport Fury GT, in "Survivor/Patina Queen" condition,...after almost 50 years. The car needs a total restoration, but I was just enjoying it as it is, driving it occasionally on nice days. The car is mostly original and fully matching numbers, it's part of Plymouth's "Rapid Transit System"; executive MoPar muscle and is exceedingly rare. The total known production numbers for the 1970 GT are 666 examples produced. Approximately sixty one of the 666 models featured the 440-6 or 6BBL carburetor system. It is thought that approximately sixty five 1970 Sport Fury GT cars exist in various states of condition, and this is one of them. This car is a "standard" 4BBL. GT 440 Commando package car, matching numbers with the original engine, and H/D 727 transmission. It has all of the options that the sport Sport Fury GT package had, and still is equipped with the original battery heat shield, heavy duty front suspension, H/D sway bar, torsion bars etc., Plymouth Road Wheels, black reflective GT strobe stripes, hood treatment stripes, dual exhaust, A/C, bench-arm rest seats, standard AM radio, etc. The car presents its self well, runs strong and has plenty of grunt. The radiator and starter and battery are newer items; recent oil change. The paint is weak, the car was outside in the sun for years and the paint oxidized, faded and is thin in many places. The seats were recovered in black velour in the 1990' s and are now showing age. The door panels are very nice and not ripped or torn. The carpet and headliner need to be replaced. The car has a lot of patina, hence the name Patina Queen. But everyone seems to like it as it is, warts and all. I'm not sure how much of the paint is original but I believe it to be at least 50% or more original paint but I'm not sure. The GT reflective stripes and hood stripes are new and were installed last month. I removed the original stripes as they were very tired and old. I've only driven it on various short trips to get a burger, ice cream, summer time cruises etc. The car should be restored or enjoy as is until you are ready for restoration. The odometer shows approximately 71,000 miles. I think this may be original miles, but have no way to prove it. I was told the GT was parked for years. There are a few issues to note: the car does have rust in the front drivers and passengers side front floor pan. But it isn't major and I would just repair the isolated rust, there is no need to replace the entire pans. The rockers and frame rails are super solid. The trunk pan and extensions need to be replaced, and the lower quarters under the "trunk extensions" need some repair. The rear frame rails are very, very solid and not rusty. I would say the car has rust issues, but isn't an overall "rusty car". The GT has been in a dry climate for years and undercover since I have owned it. Previous to my ownership someone got into the electrical system and put a kill/start switch under the dash, and the wiring has been played with likely via 70 stereo, 8 track etc. So those issues will need to be addressed. A few items like the wipers aren't operating, (it's a loose wire at the motor) and the headlight doors aren't opening, but they do open by turning the headlight motor wheel. The headlights do work. Turn signals, flashers, brake lights function. Again, this is a rare Rapid Transit System, C-body muscle car that needs restoration, or just enjoy as is and repair as you like. I will assist and help with shipping/storage etc, and I will be happy to help international bidders. I can possibly bring the car to the Chicago area in an enclosed trailer for a very reasonable price. Clear open title, car sold as is where is. I have about 75 more photos showing condition, please email or call for additional information 206 218 5453. Thank you for looking and good luck.

I looked under the back seat and under the front passengers carpet, and did not find one. I'll look on top of the glove box liner etc for one today. Also, regarding the "numbers", the VIN tag, fender tag, and door sticker all match. I will take photos of the numbers including the numbers on the cowl and post them. Yes the car is all 100% numbers matching, and it's a running and driving car! Not a rusty, junk yard, basket case car that you can't drive. Regarding the rust repair in the trunk, the passengers side trunk extension needs to be replaced and some of the lower adjoining wheel arch, but the drivers side extension is fine. The trunk very easily could be repaired, and not replaced. I wanted to give potential buyers the 'worst case" scenario, which is replacement, but it certainly does not have to be replaced, a repair would do.....it just depends on your use, and outlook for the car. There has not been a 1970 Sport Fury GT for sale for a very long time, and they seldom are available. Collectors and enthusiasts tend to keep them as they are difficult to locate. This car has some good features going for it, although it may not "check all the boxes", it's a very good foundation, driver, that has its' original engine/transmission etc., and that's becoming rarer to find these days, as most engines in the GT cars were harvested for other MoPar restorations. I will try and post more photos of the car the evening of the 18th. If you have serious interest, inspections are welcome, or give me a telephone call.On Aug-19-18 at 23:19:58 PDT, seller added the following information: Unfortunately, I'm not able to remove or add more photos showing the cowl VIN numbers and additional trunk photos. I did check the cowl numbers, and they do match the VIN and Fender tag, so the car is a completely numbers matching vehicle.On Aug-20-18 at 10:47:33 PDT, seller added the following information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7M_td0MoXE
