The original eBay link showed almost 4000 views.

The new relist doesn't have any description or detail info given ?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=121034380830

In all honesty / constructive criticism - that first listing read like an impersonal offering from one of the shiney retailers or brokers. The ones who just want you to come see how clean and shiney it is and hope it hooks you.

You have a car with full known history and every detail and number/code/date correct.
Not a put back together rusted carcass or beat up old jalopy given new life.

I would emphasize that and give complete full known history.
List all dates and codes from everything.

Did mine that way and had deposit next day, with 3 more buyers holding on stand-by.
Never even knew it still had original calipers rotors and drums until i put it up for sale.

Thanks for the thoughts, I am in the processes of writing a revision with a better description in hopes to post this weekend. We are talking allot of information but I guess placing in writing would show creditability.
Cheers, Brew

You might put a link for the HPP article in the auction. Also ebay only allows 24 pics. If you put in all 24 ebay will allow you to also link to a picture hosting site with as many pics as you have available.

I know we'll all holler at you for playing the mopars #s game, but do you have Frank G's Registry newsletters with the color breakouts? I know i was able to pin mine down to 1 of 8 white (formula) ...then add custom interior, auto, spoiler, no A/C and it becomes one of one.

Any of you guys ever see these? They're shields that mount above the motor mounts.



I asked the seller about them and this is the response I got.

Quote:
hi, i removed this set from my 1974 sd automatic car. engine/transmission were never out of car. i started the restoration around 1993.i carefully dissasembled the car packaging and marking the parts. Engine mounts, frame brackets, shields and fasteners were marked and packaged together.
thanks,
mitch

Cool

I'm so tired of this guy claiming he has one of 14 M21 4 speeds. All 74 4 speed SDs came with the close ratio Borg Warner ST-10. All 212 of them.

M21 is an RPO code, not a reference to what the actual transmission was. M21 translates to close-ratio 4-speed, doesn't matter what year. My 1978 W72 trans Am has an M21 in it - that meant close ration T-10 in 1978.

I've checked his website in the past, has a lot on info, he's got a nice low miles sd 455, but am surprised that an original owner does not know what he really has? 1 of 14? maybe he's just a poser!

Nice looking SD !!!

Can't tell if it has the Glove box emblem, though.

Looks good shape otherwise.

gregsgto2 is shown as suspended, but can come back, if he wants. But, he doesn't have a need for the senseless drama other members throw him. He may be reading this, as I type.

I think Greg was pretty good at throwing the senseless drama around also.
