This is something you have to look to appreciate and.to get the whole picture. Also available 1968 Buick Skylark convertible with same situation.."

 

Cool car, the ad leaves a little to be desired for sure.

 

It's magnificent! And...the engine...OMG!!!

 

Nice to see a four-speed be ordered with a dash tach awls I can say is that poor car never had a chance.

 

What's the problem people, didn't you see the car also makes an excellent cinder block holder? Come on, that makes it worth 20k right there!

 

I told you guys the values are going up
I knew it mannnnnn......

 

"make this beautiful classic your center of the road talked about everywhere number one car"

Center of the road?

 

He just threw the $20,000 up there, if you contact him he says he has all sorts of parts for it and best offer was $5000. I think he just priced it generically to see who wants it.

 

I always place concrete blocks on the hood of cars that have a potential value of $150K. It just seems like the right thing to do.

 

Just the car I've been dreaming about!

 

A can of ether and it'll fire right up! A good example of all the rust prone areas to watch out for.

 

I have to say, he didn't hide anything with the photos he posted.

 

I don’t understand the folks that are reaching for the sky with these “parts cars”. They seem to come up for sale here too, and if someone is selling them, why don’t they dig in and restore these rot-boxes themselves first if they are worth so much. Oh yeah, it’s because the math doesn't work.

 

It would be interesting to see it out of the mud and what is left of it.. the pictures are awful but it might be worth restoring. It will certainly need some sheetmetal and interior work. It could possibly restored to a decent driver type car and not 100% concours correct and the buyer would have a real deal stage 1 4 speed car. This is assuming its # matching.. it has all the right options.

 

This just looks weird.

 

Yeah i wonder if the bottom of the bumper is pulled out or if he turned some sort of lens on with his camera and didn't notice.

So just for the hell of it, what do you folks think this car would go for if it was restored? Assume its a numbers matching stage 1, non ac, 4 speed 3.64 car that was aquamist with black interior..

Also what would you expect 20k would get you if you were shopping exclusively for a stage 1 4 speed 3.64 car?

 

This was the only Boat tail 70 GS made !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would have that parted out before I got home.
