Yup, lots of money to spend on that one, BUT the body looks reasonably solid and straight. It will be interesting to see where the bidding ends up. That is a car that I would love to have, but no money for it and it's a bit long to fit in either of my garages.

I like a 61 300G a lot.

Would love to own one.
But no desire to take on another resto project ever again

back in my junkyard days, we crushed a 300F. eek
however, it was SUPER rusty !
the cross ram setup was kept, as well as the dual point, tach drive distributor. these now reside here on my "humpback" panel truck.
looking back, there may have been a few other trinkets that could have been saved, but no one was buying anything from those large cars.
i thought about saving the swivel seats, but the bases and seat frames were as rusty as the rest of the car, with numerous holes throughout.
