Upcoming auction. Looking at how many mouse turds are laying on the intake, I can only imagine how many went down the carb.

Carb linkage and fuel line not hooked up- The carb could have been stored separately with the intake taped off but who knows? The car looks relatively straight and complete. Ad is absolutely terrible but that could be a steal- or a nightmare.

I like it. But I'm not going to empty the bank for it. If you were looking for a strip car it's a good price...so far.

Its a live auction with internet bidding, next week. So, bids now mean next to nothing.

No mention of a title and no obvious way to ask. I guess you just call them. Its obviously not running. I really like the car a lot but boy, even if you looked at it, no idea what you are really getting.

Seems appealing to me as well, but I'd figure to go through it before starting it, and certainly before driving it.
Looks like some decent parts and work at some point, but idle for a long time.

Same auction also has a '71 Dart @ $2900 so far.

Old race cars are always cut up more than you'd expect.

A12. It only gets better from here.

I know Bob, I know... My GTS is a "Day Three" car and the things that survived vs. what got cut never ceases to amaze me. If this is a B1 headed mega block (needing a full refresh) with a no chassis cert (but assuming reasonably well built, no rust) titled real road runner, is it worth $20K? I really like it.

It's got a GTX cluster in it.

Also I can see the front of the wheel wells haven't been cut. Mine were, all the way to the end of the rocker. The tubs wouldn't bother me but cutting things like the wheel wells is never a good idea.

The wiper motor studs are hacked off that might be a sign of insanity I mean a serious lightening effort.

Gotta say, I'm reaaaaally liking this car, except for the seats, but easy to change. Price-wise, who knows. I was following an auction last fall with a friend who was hot for an auction car, 69 Chevelle looked like it was built late '70s, tunnel ram and all. Think Car Craft of that era with street/strip builds. Sat in a barn for decades, didn't turn over, the car was an absolute mess, inside and out, no paperwork. 22k!

The RHD JDM Nissan Gloria in the same auction as this RR is quite a car, though.
