i'll guess 7500 is what she'll end up at. it's a good color and the "right " combo to bring money as is sits. throw in the 8 lugs and it's a valuable car.

i'd love to have it but i'm in the process of trying to move some stuff, i don't need more.

I wouldn't be surprised if this one gets bid way up over $10k and still does not meet reserve!

Thanks for the link. I'm gonna take a shot at it. I'm not really up on the big car $'s so what do you guys think it's really worth? All help appreciated.

Thanks, Mark O.

I like the seller's sense of humor!

this car is a best-of-breed, and the options (or lack of them) tells me thing was several cans of whoop-@$$ when it was in top-tune.

man, the one-year/one-model/special color door panels (if perfect) on that car are probably worth a couple grand alone (to my knowledge, nobody is doing that dark blue and the MSM's of the world don't do Cat/2+2 door panels right)... I say it's a good deal for the buyer at $5000...a good deal for the seller at $15k. ...gonna say $10,001.

I agree with Mike on the price, $7500. Or maybe I think that is what it is worth in the condition that it is in. There are a few pieces on that car that are very expensive to restore, not even considering a proper paint job. It may bring more on Ebay. Just wish it had the HO engine.

He mentions a rear window weatherstrip leak...chances are that actually means the window channel is rusted out. Whoever buys the car should deal with that ASAP. Nice looking car, too bad about the poor paint job.

Thanks. It's close to $7000 already and has a ways to go but I'll keep watching.

Exterior color is Fontain Blue
Interior is Blue Charcoal.

Sure glad it is not Blue Mist Slate. Other wise it would make a very nice twin to my convertible

Ohhhh, I did not pay attention cause I cannot afford it anyway but dark blue intieror? That would be a sweet car. I have never seen a 2+2 that color to begin with but with that color combo that makes me more jealous. I've also never seen that type of air breather before. Anyone have some winning lottery numbers for me? There are 3 65's I would buy immediatly if I had the money. The 2+2 the green Ventura and the 65 Cat that was made into a convertible Grand Prix. Now that would be a nice looking garage.

The dual snorkel air cleaner came on the non HO tripower 421's

That is the color of my interior. My paint is the Blue Mist Slate metalic. A shade more in Silver than the Fontain Blue. My convertible top is black.

I agree very very nice color combonation.
That is why it would look so nice to my vert.

Patrick,

If you like that interior color, Harry Sameul is the only person who has the correct NOS interior for your car. What was your's originally?

Tri-power, 4-speed and a clean body. Chances are we wouldn't have liked the paint quality anyway and would have it redone so I'm not holding that against it very much. I'm saying $11,800 for the final price. Actually anywhere in the 11's but I don't think it will hit the 12's.

If that was a car I had been looking for I'd be happy to pay 8-10 for it in that condition from the looks of it. Does not look like a hard project.

It is another example of interesting option combinations. Fender skirts but no PS/PB. 4 Spd 421 with no gauges. Nutty. Mindset-you don't care what is going on under the hood as long as you look cool when you rage by. I wonder what rear is in it? 4.55 open?

I know it would be a delightful handfull when refreshed.
