    When is the last time you saw one of those old style pull tabs from beer cans like the one on the seat so maybe it was in there for 30 years? View master slide in the corner. Looks like they threw-up also.

    Good eye on the GAF view master slide Mike! You have to be a certain age to recognize that!

    The foam pellets may have been from storing a bean bag... just a guess. Curious what value I'm to see in the blank title request form?

    Edit: wrong on pellets. The floor has WAAAY too many of whatever it is. Mice/Rats lived in the glove box and may be why some of the ducting is removed?

    when we were young ,my friend use to always make a big deal about a stage 1, back then they weren't that much. now a days big bucks and i would never pay that, with a nice 455 gs and a little head work, little bigger cam, light weight pistons, posi rear end and a couple emblems i will have a faster car then any stage 1 back in the day, with thousands of $ to spare, just my thoughts lol

    You'd better have full Breaking Bad gear on for the initial clean up of the Gross Seat area, lest you find yourself in the ER with a new bestie that goes by the handle "Infectious Disease Doctor Kevorkian".

    By the looks of that garage, I think that you would spend 50k on mothballs alone just to kill the varmint stink.

    He has corrected the ad somewhat; it’s not a ‘Stage 1’ now. Still has those rare aluminum ‘breaks’ though.

    And he dropped 20K off the asking price! It’s almost a deal now......

    Here's the right color I believe, Sea Mist Green Poly.....1 of my favorites..........but still in my eyes , in that condition maybe $3-4k?

    Question....is the G on trim tag Green vinyl top? There are only a handful on the registry, could help the value?

    He would of had half a chance at selling it if he kept the garage pictures to himself and scrubbed/ polished that car to within an inch of its life

    Was thinking the same thing....why not put your best foot forward, so to speak. It's definitely interesting what people think other people want to see. He probably thinks showing it all filthy proves it's a "garage" or "barn" find. Get someone to come look at it first, then show them the dilapidated shape it was in when you got it.

    The whole garage/ barn find thing only works on Ebay if the car is a time capsule sitting in a nice garage with a fine coating of undisturbed dust. Not sitting in a garbage dump with a bunch of crap and filth all over it. I can almost smell the cat piss from here. People don't pay a premium for filth
