For a real investor, Not a flipper.. its not as correct as it should be.
Might go for $165 K .
On the auction writers...
I dislike the more common auction writers languages about items.
Example. " The " correct" transmission sits behind the blue engine" what does " CORRECT "actually mean?
Or , " a proper 3 speed turns the drive shaft" < just stooopid >
" a quadrajet sits atop the intake" , Really ?? Thats it?
" Its said to have the correct gears" , Really, no rear code??
Looked at a 66 Vette Big Block for sale on line. NOWHERE in the ad was the transmission even mentioned, aside from a general " numbers" statement. The Truth WOULD HAVE HURT.. Said like a writer... The giant 427 breathes deep through dual exhaust as it spins the torque converter.... in its BORN WITH Power glide.
I barely could see the shifter gear selector in one pic...
So much is said to make people assume one thing, but not actually saying it. Rant off..
Agreed,
For this car you would think they would get it correct.
Thing that screams something bad happened to this car body wise is the incorrect front fenders and the rear spoiler gaps. the shape and gap of the rear QP on the passenger side next to the taillight is closed. not the correct spacing. the other side looks twisted.
Body lines and spacing tell a lot about what or how the car was put together.
Also the door the QP body lines do not line up at all.
I know these cars were not perfect when they left the factory but after seeing a couple hundred of these cars over the last 35 years you can tell the ones that were whooied together.

This is not what I would buy for that kind of money.
