'72 Sun Coupe near Saint Louis

Where's Kemper? He probably could give you the scoop.......

I love the line:
"it is so rare that General Motors don't even know how many they made"

Guess again dude. The number is 3943. :Smarty:

 

Here are some pictures...

For an unrestored car, it looks pretty nice. But I see there are no pics of the engine or undercarriage.

 

Looks like the same car is now on eBay.

At the end of last month the same car was 10900.00 I guess it aged more and became more valuable.

 

Must have been picked up by a flipper...

 

Nope the same phone number is listed as when I wrote it down at the end of June. It might be a nice car but I think 10 might even be a little high. The car might bring it but I would have to see that body. I have never seen a yellow 72 that has not been repainted.

 

Judging by the slightly lighter shade of yellow in the trunk and hood jams on this car, I'd say this one has.

 

Just a little thing I learned from a few years of printing. Bright reds and yellows fade and this car is way too yellow. It almost seems from the pics its the wrong shade. I would want to run a magnet over it too.

 

I'm going to cry...i miss mine And it had never been painted,but had primer spots.:laugh: That car is way to yellow for "sunburst":spank:
Batwing steering wheel is correct for '72?o No:
Red background on "350" emblem?p

 

Yep, that wheel is correct. I think even John's GS Stage 1 Sun Coupe originally had/has that wheel on it.

The red back ground is definitely not original.

 

Yes I had the batwing on my car but somehow ot ended up on the wall and a ralley is in its place

 

Judging by the bid history and the final winning bid, I suspect that the winning bidder was a shill. $9700 for that car?
What do you bet the car shows up again pretty soon?

 

I was in at 8500.00 as a friend went to look at it for me. It was needing a lot of cleaning and detailing but not a bad car at all. Still looking for a car for my new Buick friend. He now had me bid on the STage 1 project on Ebay.

 

Well, looks like I was right............it's on eBay again.

Bid again lets see what it gets to this time I plan a drive out to Winfield soon

 

"the only way you could order this car is with a 350- 2 barrel"???

WOW. MINE must be really rare...350-4, power everything including power windows, power bucket seat, a/c, factory am/fm....

...me thinkx the seller is somewhat mis-informed. :spank:

Wheelz,Tampa Bay

 

Not just mis-informed....he's a jerk.
On his first auction, I tried twice to tell him about the engine and the production numbers. He told me I didn't know what I was talking about!
