I've had this car about 6 years and I'd like to move on to another project. The color combination is code correct Lemans Blue (976) with Bright Blue (411) interior. The car was optioned with both tops and includes the hard top, which has been recovered with new vinyl 3 or 4 years ago (looks new still because I hardly ever use the hard top and the car never sits outside very long). The car was built 14July69. The paint was done about a year ago using the correct mix for the color. I freshened up the interior over the time I've owned the car and did a big overhaul on it recently including new carpet, seat vinyl, seat foam, door sill covers, etc. The top was done at the same time as the paint, along with many new badges, chrome, etc where needed. There is new weatherstripping throughout the entire car except the hardtop. The glass is original as far as I know and in good shape with some minor scratching on the door glass. The car is originally a 427cui 390hp big block, but a 350 small block was installed in the mid-70s. Most of the original big block parts (distributor, radiator overflow, fan shroud, rear sway bar, heavy duty rear end, etc) are still present. It also originally had the highly desirable side pipe exhaust. The suspension has been rebuilt using Vette Brakes components. Most of the brake system is new or nearly new including the master cylinder, soft lines, pads, rotors and stainless sleeved calipers. The tires have a lot of tread life left and were installed on the car just after I bought it. They have approximately 3500 miles on them. All gauges, including the clock work as do the headlights, wiper door and wipers. There are so many new parts on this car that there's no way I could list everything. The car has a 4 speed, close ratio M21 Muncie transmission. The wheel covers are the optional P02 Deluxe Wheel Covers, but I also have an extra complete set of nice, original (metal...not plastic like many reproduction) base rally wheel trim rings and centers that can be swapped out if the buyer prefers the look of the base rally wheels. This car runs and drives great. The engine runs very strong and has been very reliable. The only big project left to do on this car is swap in a big block. Aside from that, the mufflers could use replacing (I never did because I intended to put in a big block and the exhaust system is different). The heater works well from the defrost vents but the vacuum line to the heater controls is not hooked up. I have never run the car in cold enough weather to use the heater. The parking brake, door locks, and door glass could be adjusted a bit better. Other than that, I do not believe there is anything not working properly on the car. Now for the fine print. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the winning. The balance of the winning bid is due within 7 days and will only be accepted in the form of a certified check (or bank check if financing). Payment must be in United States dollars. Once payment has cleared, the car can be picked up or shipped. Buyer handles pickup or shipping. I can recommend a very good enclosed car transport company that I've personally used several times.
