all original car engine runs beautiful new clutch 4 speed very powerfull electric windows power brakes no power steering all windows work all lights work not a clone all new front end upper and lower control arm bushings new front springs new ball joints new steering linkage. also new rear springs and shock absorbers. engine has less than 100 miles on it rebuilt and balanced. engine is matching numbers to registration . super rare car. car has low milage on it has no wear on door hinges at all car is solid .

 

Now watch everyone call the guy thus convincing him he priced it too low!

Can't even count the cars I was actually prepared to buy over the years only to hear "From the crazy response level I MUST have priced it way to low so won't budge a nickel & might even realist higher".

Months later most are still for sale after the picture and detail hounds (with no intention to buy!) have worn the seller out but they still figure it MUST be worth a mint.

I'd drive it just the way it is though,sink much more than 20k in it and risking taking a bath on it IMHO

Hope that Hemi orange or Go Mango engine paint doesn't slow it down lol

 

A little VIN typo and sans fender emblems.

 

This guy listed the car 9 days ago and says it’s a stage car. If that’s the case and it’s actually a numbers car, it should be long gone by now.

 

I believe this is a car that I once owned. Sold it maybe 20 years ago. Car went to NJ, then over to LI.

 

I'd at least have painted the motor Ford red or IH red while it was out..That's Godawful looking...

 

If Jason offered him $6,500.00, we all know it must be worth @ least 18K

 

Ha! If it’s a numbers car, it has good value as we all know. I just don’t think it’s anywhere near what he’s asking. Does anybody happen to know if it is a numbers car or documented? I’ll be in Suffolk county this weekend and was wondering before I waste any time. Thanks

 

As I mentioned, I believe I owned that car at one point. Engine, trans, and dist were correct, and had 3:42 rear. I don't think it had the correct carb. Car had around 100k miles on it, and the person I bought it from said the engine had been rebuilt and bored 30 over. Car ran great. When I let the car go the LR qtr was getting pretty cheesey.

 

Fred u have a great memory I looked at this car 10 years ago it was sitting in a commercial building in Kings park Long Island guy had it about 5 years all numbers matching except carb it was loaded with rats the 1/4’s r gone needs new interior and frame off the motor ran good and trans was good he had no registration for it so I passed colors are not great car has to be done all original to be worth anything

 

Got it. Thanks for the solid input. I’m close to closing a deal to put another big block GS in the stable

 

Does that 71 grille look correct? or is something missing? It looks unfinished. Not an attractive grille.

 

Above is an original 71 GS grille.

 

Here's pics from years ago.

 

George,
The slots in your grille look correct compared with the car for sale. The one on the car looks like it's missing something that fits in the grooves, but I know it isn't.

 

I think it is just painted wrong.

 

Did you buy this?

 

No. Not I. Too much for not enough.
