Same guy who owned/owns the car in this thread. Assuming those are recent photos, the HT 4 speed is still in the same spot it was when I visited.. same thing with the convert pictured in this ad.

 

Seems like a pretty decent deal even for a NOM car.

 

I could only see the one pic abive/on FB w/o logging in and Zuckerberg doesn't recognize this phone as me so keeping it that way!

Even so, w/whatever NOS parts, parts car, carb/ dist. not that bad no matter the condition. I'll have to get on my laptop & look @ the other pics.

 

There's a bunch of parts with it... It looks like some crust in the photos.. and a bench seat. I would be more curious about that GTO... LOL

 

There seems to be a lot of rust in front of the rear wheel wells. That is generally a sign of significant rust issues throughout the car.

 

Thx.! Interesting how these cars were ordered. Orig. no gauges/tach.

 

Original dealer

 

Looks like it was born with a standard clock and was replaced with a tach along the way.

 

Same dealer my 72 Grand Ville conv came from..

 

Yes, correct real Carb and Dist and 70 rallye wheel added and also has a 70 SS block that came from Fred. Has a super nice 70 rear bumper I put on also. I still have your cluster Frank. I do not own car now - sold back to friend who is current and also prior owner when I started the resto of my yellow X with Nick.

Since folks said that was a dead link, I think someone stole his old listing and posted that as a scam - current seller is straightforward guy. It’s a real 70 Stage 4 spd vert - I got docs from Wayne directly when I had it.

 

does he still have the 72 gold 4 speed? I liked that car we were just too far off on price and it was before he got the title straightened out

 

I think he may - not sure though. If interested give him a call.

 

Eric- what's going on with that GTO???

 

He is very careful in his post that its "correct SS block" Not numbers matching block. I will say its shocks me how many people are so crazed over numbers matching when we all know these cars were driven like hell when they were just a car. I also know when the block gets decked the numbers go away on the 1970 block. I think as long as its a date code correct black to me it shouldn't be a huge hit on the value but when I see someone with a 73 block in a 1970 car it drives me nuts lol.

Very cool and rare car for sure but after you buy it and restore it you are going to have a significant amount of money in it. That brings people to the question of is it worth it and will the value continue to rise ? Or maybe if its a car you really want it doesn't matter. We all would like to go back 20 years and buy up some of these cars now.

 

I think he may let that go George. He’s got a loaded 68 400 Firebird too.
