I agree.

if the frame rails are there - it would be a pleasure to restore a car of this caliber that hasn't been thru a couple of restorations already ..... WELL OPTIONED also: HEMI, 4-speed, PS, PDB, head rests, wood wheel, remote mirror, CAR, bumper guards, light package - did I miss anything?


QQ1 is a great colour.
LL1 would be better though

I wouldn't be surprised if there is an 8-track & power windows hiding in there somewhere ..... scope

aren't both MI cars automatic? & SA's ember gold metallic is fine - but the green interior is hard to swallow puke

if it was returned to "YY1" - sierra tan metallic, this column shift automatic HEMI GTX convertible would be a welcome departure from the all too common "QQ1"

Sorry Devil, thought this was the same guy with the 69 hemi coronet rag, 4 speed car. Barn looked pretty similar..

I know that car and the original owner. He's got to be about 100 by now, I don't know who is trying to sell the car. He's one of the nicest guys you could meet. The car has been in that barn for decades, parked it when he spun the engine, maybe mid-70s?. He's a true car guy - he used to terrorize the streets in an old Dodge pickup with an early hemi in it. Knows what the car is, has turned down many offers over the years. His late wife's pride and joy was her Arrow, also in the barn, sitting for decades.

I haven't seen him in a few years, been staying at his girlfriend's place. His farm is pretty much a mess now, since his wife and dog passed on. I saw where someone opened up the side of the barn somewhat recently, presumable to get the car(s) out, so I don't know if he sold it, had it moved, or still there. It's possible the car is elsewhere and the lister is selling for him (or his estate) or maybe flipping. Seems to me if he were serious, he could just ask any of the car guys here and have it sold in a few days. Some heavy hitters here in Rochester who know the car. Or eBay. Definitely not cl, though.

I think it's worth every penny of $100K as-is, and I know he turned down more years ago.

This yellow GTX ragtop is an easy $100K value. Numbers,4 speed and appears to be fairly original. tag is there and most likely so is the sheet.

Cool car, glad my hands are full right now.

It is a cool car but I can't see it worth it in real $. Maybe trade value? That yellow is less than fantastic but the 4-spd bumps it back up. This one was at MCACN in 2015. The guy picked it up for in the $70K range.

A car like this with good history and numbers is up and above the others by a long way that are out there with questionable history. The cars in this league that don't bring the real big $ always have a reason and because of that aren't comparable to this project.

I see a minimum of 75 large going into this car, and that's if the body is solid. Is it worth 200K finished....I don't know.

Zip code is the main problem. If it was in Tucson I would feel better. A buddy of mine found one of those for sale in Alabama once. Except it was QQ1 blue, white stripe, white interior, white top, build sheet, fender tag, 4 speed. He wanted it bad so I loaned him the $200.

Quick update - I went by the farm this morning, all looks like it has been, I didn't check the barn (I don't trespass), so I think the pictures are relatively current.

It is without a doubt an awesome project. And not many left that have not already been found and are to some degree restored. I agree it needs a personal inspection. Here is a former Brett Torino car that sold IMO it is a better color combo, but not a 4 speed.
