UP FOR AUCTION IS A PROJECT I BOUGHT A WHILE BACK FROM A NEIGHBOR WHO HAS HAD THE CAR IN HIS FAMILY SINCE AROUND 1976. HIS DAD HAD BOUGHT IT WITH THE MOTOR, TRANS AND HOOD MISSING AND WITH SOME PREVIOUS BODY DAMAGE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE DRIVERS SIDE FENDER ,DOOR, AND QUARTER PANEL HAD BEEN REPAIRED BUT NOT THE DENT ON THE FRAME RAIL UNDER LEFT FENDER/DOOR (PICTURED).WHEN I GOT THE CAR IT HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE SAME SPOT FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS AND WHEN I CLEANED IT OUT I FOUND THE TRI POWER LID. I BOUGHT A FEW PARTS FROM A LOCAL VETTE REBUILDER , RT HEADLAMP BUCKET ,HOOD,WIPER DOOR .HE INSPECTED THE CAR AND LIKE MYSELF AGREED THE FRAME COULD BE REPAIRED AND IT IS NOT BUCKLED BUT THE RAIL IS MOVED OVER ABOUT HALF A INCH IN THE DAMAGED AREA. I HAVE HAD 3 68 AND 69 435 HP CARS PREVIOUSLY AND I AM SURE THATS WHAT THIS CAR WAS. THE CAR HAS BIG BLOCK REAR CV JOINT CAPS ON SHORT SHAFTS ,EVEN THOUGH REAR SWAY BAR IS MISSING THE MARKS ARE ON THE FRAME RAILS WHERE THE BUSHINGS WERE MOUNTED, LARGE SINGLE FUEL LINE,6500 REDLINE TACH, BIG BLOCK RADIATOR AND SUPPORT, THE TRANSISTER IGNITION HARNESS IS STILL THERE AND THE HOLES WHERE THE TI BOX WAS MOUNTED TO LEFT FENDER APRON. THE HOOD THAT GOES WITH THE CAR IS A LITTLE ROUGH BUT REPAIRABLE. THE SIDE DASHES AND QUARTER PILLAR TRIM ARE GOOD AND RESTORABLE.THE CAR HAD NO OPTIONS OTHER THAN HORSEPOWER AS FAR AS I CAN TELL,COLOR CODE IS 988 MAROON STD BLACK INTERIOR,PRODUCTION DATE H26. CAR WILL BE SOLD WITH BILL OF SALE AND LETTER FROM DMV THAT THERE IS NO RECENT TITLE OR LEAN HISTORY. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RESTORED BUT IT IS WAY BACK IN LINE ON MY PROJECT LIST AND WIFE SAYS SOMETHINGS GOT TO GO !. FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING.
