Yeah, I'm not seeing anything to pick on except the fully painted underbody and what may be a scratch/dent above the left quarter scoop, which may just be an unfortunate reflection.
The underbody is basically a non-issue unless it's being judged for OEM correctness, and to me the V88 is a bonus.
Also seems well-documented; another bonus.
Being a '70, that styling may be a break price-wise; but a no-excuses car, even with polarizing styling, probably won't sell cheaply.

BaT...nothing goes for a price that makes sense. Look at what the OBS Ford trucks have been bringing. Beyond stupid.

Nice Looking Original Car
Love the factory paperwork.
I will be watching it to see where it goes.

Nice car.
I'd be tempted to have the undercoat installed. I'd definitely get a set of rims and hubcaps and switch back and forth to feed my whim of the day.
Odd seeing the clear glass & A/C combo.
I'd probably put the original gears back in too.

I'm not going to repeat what others have already said about the car.

if your friend wants it, he shouldn't bid until the end. Yes, I know the clock resets two minutes if a bid is placed in those two minutes but, bidding early does nothing but start to show his hand.

Best of luck.

He likes the car, fact its 2 hrs away is bonus points
He would actually prefer with green interior and his dream car is a 69.

BUT, this sure looks like a damn nice car and has his interest. Whether or not he gets involved in a bidding war,,,is another question
And yes, the OE 3.23s would be on the short list of things to do

Yeah that’d be a good one to pick up. Local and has ac. Clear glass is odd.


I want my fair share

not much to complain about as mentioned before by other members.

Red grill surrounding is wrong.

Just personal taste: EF8 green, stripe delete, steering column automatic and AC makes the best looking design on the planet (I know cool) not desireable for me.

I wish Bill good luck and that he gets it. thumbs

I like the car too, and don't really have any complaints on it. F8 is one of my favorite colors!
It's a nicely done R/T. I hope your friend ends up with it. up

My friend is not the winner

He missed out imo.

Not a bad buy imo

$50K seems pretty cheap to me, even given the styling and the number of people who dislike green.

I think low 50s is fine to get a well sorted car, if you can deal with the green. I’m in the camp that would pay more than most to get an original metal car though. The one thing you simply can’t recreate.

I think your buddy messed up if he wants an ac car. Saving the shipping or travel costs alone is a huge bonus that probably applied only to him on this one. I think that factor contributes when we see a car go over what the market seems to be saying. This was his chance.

No arguments This guy actually prefers the green, even better is if it had green interior


Ive told him he missed the boat on this one

Good luck finding another one in that condition for 50K. AC or not.

Its on its way to Michigan. Only issue I see is the model. Not the most desirable of bodystyles. But a nice car

Looked like a super nice car. 50k seems like a hell of a deal for a car in that type of condition. Not easy to find them in that condition. Car looked real legit to me.

When it goes through the scrutiny it did on this site with nary a negative comment, he went down with the boat IMO 🙄🍻
