Why would you need to bore a block with 32k miles on it .30 over?

Cut dash and console from the looks of it.

Looks like a solid car for the $ though. Would have to see underside on an Iowa car before any evaluation.

Yea, but the dash pad look as clean as I have seen on an AC car. From what I have seen, they tend to crack right by the vent but I agree, why would you bore .30 over on a low mile car? That steering wheel and seats look great also.

Why would you have 2 doors and a trunk for the car? guessing that there may be some rust going on??

The piping is showing through on the driver's seat too.
I have got awesome dash pads out of high miles cars.

definitely 32k original, I mean look at the air cleaner decal. (make me puke) the condition of the car based on the pics and description (bored block) I would put it at 132k.

Wink Field of Dreams...

This seller must have the original "Field of Dreams" fever. Parked in the corn fields.

Maybe he is thinking "If I advertise it, they will come"?

My own '66GP came with 100k on the odometer, NO splits in the dash, virtually perfect wheel and the engine though totally out of compression on two cylinders had NO measurable wear on either the crank or the bores. (It just had stuck rings). I rebuilt it using standard pistons and bearings.

I might be unkind thinking this car has 232k on the clock but 132k might be fairer to say. Still, on his description it could be a solid project for someone to start on. Hope it finds a good home.

Ian

The more I look at it the more I believe it has to be 132k and not 32k or a hard 32 at best. Should be a good project depending on frame and rust areas.

32K and the A/C compressor fell off.......
I need a better picture but the brake pedal pad looks like it has a lot of wear on the lower right corner for 32K
