So are we going to see new pics of this ride??

The car was a legit SD

Car was extremely rough.

Looked good in the pictures

Maybe it was an older bondo restoration on a rough car - that was coming back to haunt.
Did anyone lay eyes on it at the auction ?

It is identical color/equipment to a car that was let rot real bad sitting in the NC Mountains years ago.
In the late 80's it was already a Real Mess - but complete and intact .
A couple of PY members in NC had seen it in person and had pictures of it.
Car could be bought for 5k , but nobody was brave enough.

Mecum Seller said the next owner needs tetnus shots before getting started on correcting it.

He could just be whining because the car sold so cheap. I don’t care how good of a photographer you are you can’t make a total pos look good.

Bummer, it would have made a nice bookend to your silver Formula.

Wishful thinking maybe ?

Finally got a chance to get to the storage unit and clean up the rims and tires. Makes a big difference in the appearance.

Seller posted a video on Youtube.
10k original miles.
Parked since 1980.
Very nice interior except headliner.
Red/black/rust
Undercoated, so the floors and frame rails are good.
OMG it's rusty.
$35k

Parked w/ 10,000 miles? Sounds like possible engine problems.

I got close to purchasing it in 2020 but the border closure, Covid, shipping issues got in the way. I think the owner at that time agreed to 50K...my memory is not clear on whether we got to a final price (it was advertised on Houston Craigslist for 53k).

It has an SR engine. Correct 270 carb. I will certainly be kicking myself if this thing goes anywhere close to asking, but I doubt anybody is gonna pony up that kind of coin if they go look at it, or get more detailed pictures. It's a bit rough, but definitely potential for a fun driver.
