Listed several weeks ago at $10k, no bidders. Contacted by several people asking to relist at a lower price. This car was purchased by my friend in 1968 and taken to car shows. He decided to restore it in 1970, jacked it up and stripped off the doors, hood, fenders. It was still that way when I met him in 1989. He passed away 4 years ago and I obtained the car. Being stored in a shed caused the paint to deteriorate badly. Much paint peel and metal pitting (see picture) but no rust through that I am aware of. The floors appear solid but look like they had surface rust and were coated with a hard black material years ago. Still has the original front floormats. Frame appears solid. To stop some of the rust, I had all loose body parts bead blasted and primed but did not fill in the pits. The top and tires are pre-1968. Top looks good but back window will not zip up. Interior door panels and other pieces are there but interion will need redone. The car does run, motor runs good but has one noisy lifter and the brakes are soft but will stop the car. This car is not in driving condition and requires total restoration. The wing windows and door windows were removed when the car was stored and are in excellent condition. I have boxed up most of the NOS and used parts and have no doubt that their value way exceeds $3000. Although not in the picture, the hood is available and has been bead blasted and primed. There is no parts car, it has been sold. NOS parts include both front fenders (see picture), running board chrome (rare) and many hard to find parts. When picking up the car, the high bidder needs also to be able to haul the extra parts as they will not all fit in the convertible. This car and parts cannot be delivered, local pick up only in Spencer, Indiana. High bidder must bring cash, no checks, when picking up the car and parts. Car and parts must be picked up within 2 weeks of auction close. Will not sell any items seperately. Email if you want more info, want to see the car or need more pictures. Additional: Before the previous owner passed away he told me that he had been sanding on the frame and using POR-15. He also put in a new radiator and had the gas tank coated on the inside(?). Some of the NOS parts include: 2 NOS coils, kick panels, front fender lower chrome (hard to find), lots of wheel bearings and seals, fuel pump, muffler, tailpipe and clamps, 4 hubcaps and a lot more. There is a lot of used parts including an extra transmission. Per questions asked, serial number is 11379470, body number is 304 10738 and motor number is P12*509093. Top cylinders have not been removed from the car and there is a lot of stainless steel for the grill, etc should be complete with a lot of extra. Additional questions: There are two sets of running boards, the originals, with rubber that would work well but not for show and another set NOS of which one has a small chunk of rubber missing on the end (should repair fairly easily. The front and rear bumper main sections will need rechromed but all four bumper wings are NOS.
