I think that this guy has some inside info:The car is 47 years old and close to the 50 year mark making its value jump.

What is up with the stripes? Looks like a lawnmower did a burnout across the entire car.

Yeah, the stripes are kind of screwy but not a bad looking car overall and the asking price is pretty reasonable.
What is that contraption on the drivers side front of engine? Some kind of California clean-air crap? A/C? or what?

Looks like an air pump for emissions. If for the Denver market they had some of the same issues as Cali..

note the hose routing - WTF attaches the hardline? does it just flap around?

If he was looking for a 12 second car, why did he put 2:73 gears in?

His "hart" wasn't in it, evidently.

I've seen that one on Ebay before.

For that price he could at least have dragged it out of the shed, washed it and taken some pictures. Must be that one like that sold at a B-J auction recently.

As tasteless as those wheels are, that's the best looking big wheel car I've seen. The price might be in the ballpark to save it.

Well,I suppose 3 of 8 cylinders isn't too bad,eh?

Original owner? So the car is 41 years old,if the guy was 16 when he bought it he would have to be 57 years old now,minimum. He put those rims on there?? My Arse.
