Always interesting to see a intact low mileage survivor car. Looks like faded crystal turquoise with a bench seat, wood wheel and a/c. The parchment interior appears to be very clean and the white body side moldings are certainly unique.

I like that car too. I don't think I have ever seen a crystal turquoise, parchment interior car with a parchment vinyl roof. This looks like a two barrel car. My two barrel 69 also was auto on the column with a bench seat.
It's too bad the body is banged up and rusty.

Is it? Looks like a 4bbl air cleaner with the tiny snorkel, vs the long small one for 2bbls.
Body isn't great but honestly I'd just drive it as-is since it looks like a perfectly presentable car. No reason to go nuts restoring it when you can enjoy it, especially if you're restoring another and want inspiration from time to time. |

Beautiful color combo and for the bump strip down the side, my first '68 had 'em. I wouldn't add them but I don't hate 'em on these body styles.

After having 2 cars get scrapped by rogue bodymen over simple "just fix the rust holes in the quarters" jobs, I no longer jump down that rabbit hole. If it's a driver, a driver it shall remain!

Nice colour combination.

P-o-P shows it is (or was) a YS 4bbl car
Breather should be a dual snorkel Car had 4455 miles on it when they bought it. Looks like they got about a $500 discount Maybe it was a dealership demo Window sticker is showing it destined to the Newport News dealership. Vested zone employee cars usually went to market around 3,000 miles. |

Dang, I just noticed...that little z-car next to it looked exactly like mine for a moment...but I see now that it's silver.

Oh yeah, I hear you and can understand that. It's the main reason I bought a MIG welder years ago. Paid for itself many, many times over.

Looks to me like a 133,000 mile car by the pedals and history/general wear. Not advertised as a low mile car, either. My '67 had 125,000 miles on it when I bought it in 1983 and was in similar shape. Nice '69 in rare colors and unmessed with. I like it.

Always wonder what might be lurking under vinyl tops on cars with other rust issues.

This car needs some work, but it has a lot going for it. Good options, great color, and it's mostly complete.

I've been communicating with the owner. She has a replacement carb. And he swears the single snorkel is original

That air cleaner is from a 70 “non-performance” 4 bbl like a 400 GP or a 360 horse 455 full-size. Maybe someone at the dealer wanted a nice chrome dual snorkel for his new 70 GP and did a swap?

Dang... $20K and counting with 4 days left.
My wife had a '67 Cougar with the 289 Hi performance engine which came with a chrome lidded breather. A sticky fingered mechanic swapped it out once and didn't think she'd notice. Maybe something similar happened to this one.
