By changing the original 230 six for a long block 250, he eliminated the Chevy component...... Whatever that means.

Also, the title description says it has green paint. Maybe we need updated photos?

I'd call it green myself...Not just plain green but yeah, a type of green. He mentions Sears and as I recall, it's the same color that the Sears service trucks were back in the '70s and '80s.
Other than that, I'd also call it a $2500 van (if he's lucky and finds someone that just has to have it).

The best part is the twin 750 carbs. I was skeptical; then I read about the 2 1/2 inch exhaust, and realized why it never made it out of the garage. But the engine is "...tuned..."

This car will be worth upwards of $100,000 fully restored.
In other words, he really believes it is worth $39,000 un-assembled & un-painted.

An omen to the state of the rest of the car when the dual quad air cleaners don't even fit because they hit each other. Just sayin'.....

I can't stand it when sellers list stupid stuff like "recent radiator flush." Oh - I'm glad he took care of the hard stuff!

His biggest mistake was including a copy of his receipt for all the new sheetmetal. I can tell by the hole in the trunk that he didn't install it. His shopping list alone shows there is a lot of rust going on under there.

Just brings back memories of the red '65 I went to look at back when I was in high school. (he wanted $800.) I popped the hood and the drivers' side subframe rail was rusted all the way through - a few inches of the entire beam had just disappeared!

Other than that it was pretty cherry?

JK. Long time ago had a family member try to pawn off a New England Rusty notch 65 Stang straight 6 (250 Ford truck motor) w 3-spd stick...thing ran great...but it was rotten w same cancer rust that made me laugh and say "thanks but no thanks!" And I never looked back or regretted it.

That must be the reason he had to replace the carburetor AND all the fuel injectors.

That motor would use some fuel.

I'd bet the T-Tops don't leak as long as it isn't raining. I guess the guy thinks dual overhead cams can be hidden under a stock "Big block" Pontiac valve cover too. Wow, just wow........
