cool car especially if it is a factory black car.

Must be an old photo with the snow on the ground. Nice car!:)

Also on ebay these days:

Would love to have it myself! :)

Having the original drivetrain intact after spending its life next the Woodward Ave is quite an accomplishment! Great car!

With the original HO drivetrain, I think 19K$ is a low price.

Is it me, or this car sits a little high??

anyone got the phs on it?

When I moved to Michigan in the early '90s, it was very common to see cars lifted front and rear - that was the "in" look at the time (or maybe it was on its way out even then, but I hadn't seen it before). It appears this one got that treatment, and it was never "undone".

Cool car - lots of character. Love the old school street-racer look. $19K is too low.

The high stance/tires/wheels are killing about 5k+ in visual effect alone. imho

Someone could make a few corrections, take better pics, and probably get closer to 25k for the car. If its as its described.

Ebay was ended with 0 bids, but its still on CList.
Has anyone called on the car ?

I agree Baron.
The Pro Street stance with centre lines needs to go.
Otherwise, very cool car.

Anyone know this one in New Jersey? Original owner - says it's an HO/auto - if it was & the auction is real it was stolen!

Wow! I was watching that one but had not checked back on it. Your're right Chris, absolute steal if it was a true round port car. He was original owner and had some cool stuff to go with the car, including an NOS front fender! Hope this one turns up in the hands of a member here.

Call 911....sweet deal for someone!

Funny I was going to say they must be old pic's with green leaves on the trees!!!!!

how in the world did that sell that cheap??????:confused:

I did almost the exact same thing.
Bookmarked it and forgot to check back on it.
As a spectator only.

:sleep: <<<<<<<<< and :2cents: <<<<<<<<<< po'folks

The reserve was tipped with 11 hours left and no one challenged, or sniped at the end.
Someone got a sweet deal on Lucille

Who went & looked at the blue one? The interior looked pretty good for 41 years old original comfortweave, just wondering about what the body was hiding?

Any one have a copy of PHS?

The blue one in New Jersey is on it's way to NC, real one owner car with window sticker, protecto plate, purchase docs etc. Unfortunately it is missing some real important parts like the Ram Air setup, carb & intake.

Scott (the new owner) stole it!

I'd don't get the "stolen" view, not like it 's a blue/blue M22 HO GTO that sold for 12.5K.
As an HO auto with a/c (missing), & presuming original long block & original PQ are there, that's good. As a longtime NE car, one is betting against the odds that it doesn't need expensive metal work, all the above said, if its solid, I'd say it was bought right. Congrats either way to the new owner!

Ok, well bought then, how about that? ;)

Turns out not to be a RA car unfortunately, regardless of what the seller would like us to believe with the air cleaner/storage shed fire comment. :rolleyes:

No 601.

I may go up and take a look at it. If there are some round port/455 HO experts that could help me determine the important parts, I'd love to hear from you.

I went up and looked at it a few weeks ago. If anyone here is seriously interested, PM me and I can provide a bit more info on it.

Is there a reason for not sharing? Lots of lookers but, needs serious buyers??
