Cool to see that car with the original engine gracefully deteriorated,but far from junk.100K is a good percentage of what it is worth restored ,but not as it sits.

Why is that a dream? 4 SPD HEMI CONVERTIBLE. As long as the frame is not rotted away . A 67 corvette 427 435 convert is worth more when they made so many why is the gtx a dream for 100k

Really?!

Do you have one of the other 12 for sale? If so let me know as i am in the market.

If it's not rusted to death that car is actually a good deal.

funny, one of the other 12 is here in dallas.
It was one of the cars feets and I stumbled on near 25 years ago and it showed up at a car show a couple years back.

it is in much better shape. I had no idea it was worth that much.

The auction car is not a 4 speed. 75k is not going to change that fact. This car restored is worth more. So 100k is not out of the question. Just another level of car that most cannot afford.

I don't think the price is out of reason either depending on condition and if it is what he purports it to be.

The black car has the numbers block but it was so rotten at one time the front sub-frame broke away from the body. It was a Canadian car that was in the Ottawa area for a long time. Original owner used it as a daily driver.
I have also heard it could have been in Nova Scotia for a while.

if "sunfire yellow" is the original color - that would be rare for a 4-speed HEMI GTX convertible

5 of the 6 I know of are "electric blue metallic" eek I think that was written on the order sheet: "blue paint is recommended on a HEMI GTX" & if you checked the convertible box, there it was again: "are you sure you don't want it painted BLUE?"

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?

100k as it sits sounds reasonable , considering it's probably a 225k car done, and if it won't pull that number today, it will in the not so distant future , and then some. Their is a saying in one of my other hobbies that "you didn't pay too much, you just bought a little early" .
It looks like a great project for someone , and the absolute pinnacle of 1968 B body cars .

There's at least two in these parts...

SA's 'press car', and a forest green one that was found languishing in a 'yard'...
