Was owned and restored by a board member, and the paint was done by another board member. Did an excellent job. Some key detail parts have since been procured from the car by one of the subsequent owners. Still a great car.

I usually cannot get into the alpine whites or sno whites etc but man this car looks very good and appears to be done with care. Sounds healthy too. In the video, once he reached that straight piece of the road I was really hoping for a bit of acceleration.

It was done with great care. If you are seriously considering the car: 1) I highly recommend it (I have zero skin in the game), and 2) PM me and will give you the contact info for who restored the car. He will give you the 100% detailed info on the car. It is a very good car.

I appreciate that but I am not looking to buy just admiring it. I'm looking to buy a Ram TRX so all funds going to that. Thanks again, it's a beautiful car.

so is this a #'s engine/trans car. I didn't read that in the ad?

BAT doesn't show all photos by default so you have to scroll a bit

Yes, this is a numbers engine and trans car. Original FT. Only drivetrain change is that it is now 3:54. Was changed over many years ago.

What was taken off of the car subsequent to the restoration?

That pinstripe along the lower style line does SO MUCH for this car in this color IMO.

I like it a lot, though I'm not a fan of window louvers, and to me the white color doesn't show the great body contours of that body style as much as darker colors do.
Bonus points (IMO) for the 4-speed and no wing or other tack-ons.
I also wonder what was removed.
I doubt the current high bid of $40,000 will get the car.

Rear window louvers are reproductions.

what is everyone thinking on a final price???

$50,000.00

Original 450 spare wheel and tire
172 alternator
Set of Polyglas GT tires
NOS valve stem extensions
Possibly the original 390 wheels

Yes. But excellent quality.

Yes without a doubt made by Dayclona I was only pointing it out not mentioned in the ad,why do people buy a beautifully restored vehicle & rape it for parts.

Sold for $63k!

Nope

"The high bid was $63,000, but the reserve was not met"

Must be a stout reserve, eh ?

I liked the car a lot
Not my dream car but checked a lot of boxes.

I bid up to about 60K, but tapped out after that.
Not sure what the reserve was.

Matt

Does anyone know what the reserve is?
I am kind of interested in the car.

Thanks
Matt

I don't know what the reserve was but I don't think a buyer could go wrong at $70k in today's market.

I agree. Costs of restorations are keeping up with inflation. $70k doesn't seem out of line. Especially when considering less than 400 total 4spds built and its all numbers matching. I believe the similarly equipped, Black/Black, unrestored 4spd , previously 1 owner car, 71 GTX brought 50k a several years back.

Now it's on Feebay with a B.I.N. of almost double the $63k it bid up to on BAT. This is at least the 2nd re-list by dealer that I know of. Gee I wonder why? This dealer's markup must be around 80%

I saw that one made it to eBay and shook my head. The number of cars dealers are sitting on for months and even years is pretty crazy. I’m not sure what market is anymore because those guys pay it, then double or more the price and the car languishes instead of being enjoyed. Another example is that black on blue 440 truck. Sold for a reasonable and even high number at 25, but was resisted for 45 and has been unsold for most of a year now.

Yep. Really sad. There's making a profit and there's stubborn greed. I've been watching that truck get relisted also. Won't drop the price from $45k when he paid just under $25k and did absolutely nothing but immediately relist it. Now he's trying auction style with reserve which I'd but is $45k and he's going to find out the market value is $20k to $25k, just like he paid. Maybe less now.

Here's another sorry example. I really like M body Diplomats/Gran Furys. Mostly just the Police Package cars. This non Police one has been on Feebay for well over a year now at ridiculous price and no drop or MAYBE a $500 drop after over a year, not sure. Still ridiculous. This is why dealerships have bad reputation. $12,000. Yeah right. MAYBE a $3500-$4000 car.

While this 21k miler is only $4750
