61SuperCoupe Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I'm selling my baby. This car has been in my life for over 20 years. I started to tear into it about 7 yrs ago to do a frame-on resto but never finished. Circumstances in my life have forced me to abort the project several times and now i have a newborn. I'm afraid the olds is gonna have to move on down the road.The Good;This car only has 68,000 ORIGINAL miles. All #'s match. It is 100% complete. It is a California car. NO rust.The 394 motor(bottom end) has been rebuilt but I haven't put it back together yet. The interior is in good condition with just a wrecked headliner and some cracks in the dash. I had the rear bumper rechromed. All 7 or 9 pieces of it. Most all of the rest of the chrome is in great shape. there is no bondo on any part of this car except the passenger door and pass. rear quarter.(see "ugly' below)The Bad;Cracked windshield. The car is in pieces. Headliner is a mess. Front bumper has two dings in it from the parking bollard at the local Safeway. It has a bad heater core. One of the wipers is not original. Chrome for the passenger side is for a four door. It's all I could find.The Ugly;The little old lady my father and I bought the car from was 91 yrs old when she stopped driving it. She had a pretty severe hunchback as well. She didn't hear to well either. She used to drive it to Safeway maybe once every couple of weeks and she used to park by feel. LITERALLY!!! She also used to park between two 4x4 posts. She managed to never hit the drivers side but the passenger side paid for it dearly. Hence the Bondo on the passenger side and the four door trim. The paint in the pictures below looks deceptively good. It is NOT. It's peeling and the bondo is peeling off. Poor bodywork...Anyway, that's my story. There's more but you're probably not interested in the details. There was only 7005 of these cars ever made. If there is half that on the road today I'd be surprised. As an unrestored, 100% complete, California car w/ 68,000 on the odo, I know what this car is worth and you probably do too. I also am aware of the work that needs to be done to it. Needless to say I'm not going to give it away. I'm not in love with the idea of selling it to begin with. Don't lowball me please. No tire kickers either. If it doesn't sell it will rot in my yard til I get the time too finish it.Price is [color:"red"]$8500.00 or best offer. To the right collector I may make a good deal. Let's talk.
