1971 Plymouth Gtx - 440 Muscle - No Reserve on 2040-cars

 Mechanically perfect Plymouth GTX.  440 cu in motor rebuilt last year to better than OEM specs.  250 miles on the engine.  Body is straight.  No rust, not even underneath.  Never driven in rain.  Always stored indoors.  Car is not numbers matching, but its condition is so nice it won the Manchester, CT car show last year - I'll even throw in the trophy when you take possession of the car.  This is a vehicle that turns heads and starts conversations.  There's approximately 67,005 miles on the car.  I say approximately because the car is in storage, and not immediately available for me to check the odometer.  The photo showing the odometer was taken some weeks before I put it in storage, so there's bound to be a few more miles than the photo shows. If you're a serious buyer, shoot me a message and I'll respond with the actual mileage and a photo of the current odometer.

Interior is very nice.  All instruments have been upgraded with new faces,electronics and wiring.  Seats and carpet are essentially new.  Modern AM/FM radio with USB port for your portable device (that way you can play your 70s music while driving).  Door panels do show some wear, but they are very easily replaced should you decide to do so.  Just pop them off, and put the new ones on.  It's that simple.

Exterior is also quite beautiful.  New chrome all around.  Paint is in excellent shape, with hard shell wax applied before it was put in storage last November (it doesn't get driven in Connecticut from November through May due to road salt and other chemicals applied during winter weather).

A bit about the car's price.  This is a NO RESERVE auction.  The starting price is less than the average retail value of this type of car (see final photo showing NADA values for this vehicle).  So, I'm starting the auction at $24,000.  If you get it for that price, you've truly gotten it for a steal, considering the average price is over $30,000 and this car is WAY above average.  So I'd ask you to consider these factors as you bid.  71s like this don't become available every day.

Known issues:
- Right turn signal does not work.  It's been diagnosed by my auto electric guy as a turn switch issue.  I've got the replacement switch that goes in the steering column, and will include the switch with the car.  It's a simple fix.  If it were a different time of year, I'd get it done for you, but I won't drive the car until road conditions improve.
- Interior fan (heat/defrost) does not work.  This is a small issue, but wanted to bring it to your attention.

This car is very strong.  You can come drive it home, though I'd recommend shipping it given the time of year. 

Check the photos!

I've attempted to describe the vehicle as accurately as I can.  Feel free to ask questions.  PLEASE ask questions.  :-)

3/10/14 UPDATE:  I received a note from someone who viewed the auction page.  He noted that GTXs only came with 440s, so the price bump (for having a 440) indicated by the NADA screen shot misled me to believe that the average price for these cars is a bit higher than it actually is.  So, I've lowered the auction starting price to $22,000.  Happy bidding!
