Originally a viking blue car and steel hood. Low option, but correct engine, trans, carb, 3:23 open rear etc. All are vin matching original. Fully rebuilt engine with less than 1000 miles since, a/c converted to 134 and blows ice cold. All new top interior, suspension (original springs with stamped part #'s and born with spiral shocks were re-used.

I have photos to doc the resto showing all lower areas were rust free. An original hood was used as well. Car now has a restored tilt column and factory tach.

Awesome car and history.

Your door decal shows a 9/70 build date and the POP shows a Dec 01 delivery. I cannot read the IBM tag that shows actual day. Could this car have sat on the assembly line during the 57 day strike ( Sept 26 - Nov 17 1970). I cannot imagine it sitting in inventory given the scarcity of cars.
It's build date and delivery date have a unique side story.
Right on with the price, it deserves every penny.

Wow what a deal !!!

[stritestoration]

I agree. He set the price and I thought it was light.

What is the build date on the broadcast card.

[stritestoration]

Ill have him check.

[stritestoration]

He said the date box is unreadable. He can only read a 0 in the month box and can only read a 1 in the day box. Ill stop over there today and take a look.
