ACCORDING TO THE WINDOW STICKER AND MARTI REPORT THIS CAR LEFT LORAIN ASSEMBLY PLANT ON FEBRUARY 23, 1970 WITH:

  429 COBRA JET / RAM AIR, CRUISE-O-MATIC, DRAG PACK, DETROIT LOCKER

BODY TUB IS INTACT, STRUCTURALLY SOUND, RESTORABLE AND IS THE ORIGINAL BODY.  THE RIGHT TORQUE BOX HAS A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM BUT SHOULD BE AN EASY FIX.  THE TRANNY HUMP HAS A BIG HOLE CUT IT IN IT BUT I AM INCLUDING A NICE FLOOR PAN PIECE TO PATCH IT.  ALSO LEFT REAR FLOOR PAN HAS A PIECE OF METAL PARTIALLY WELDED IN.  HAVE DONOR USED FLOOR PAN FOR THIS PIECE.  THERE IS A PATCH ON LEFT REAR FLOOR IN FRONT OF REAR WHEEL TUB BY SPRING PERCH (SEE PHOTO).  ROOF AND QUARTERS ARE STRIPPED, STILL BARE METAL WITH SOME LIGHT SURFACE RUST.  FRONT STRUCTURE IS SOLID WITH TYPICAL RUST UNDER BATTERY TRAY.  RIGHT WHEEL WELL IS MOSTLY METAL, LOWER 8" IN FRONT OF TIRE HAS BLISTERS (MIGHT BE FILLER).  INNER AND OUTER WHEEL TUB IS SOLID AND BEHIND TIRE HAS RUST, ALSO LOWER INNER QUARTER HAS RUST (SEE PHOTO).  LEFT SIDE REAR QUARTER HAS SKIM COAT OF BODY FILLER.   IT APPEARS TO HAVE LOTS OF METAL IN WHEEL WELLS.  OUTER WHEEL TUB HAS SOME PATCHES. SEE TRUNK PHOTOS.  HOOD IS CLEAN AND IS NOT BOWED.  CLEAN TRUNK LID.  PASSENGER DOOR CLEAN AND STRAIGHT.  DRIVER'S DOOR HAS SOME RUST BUBBLES AND KINK ON FRONT BOTTOM (SEE PHOTO).  THE UNDERSIDE LOOKS WORSE IN THE PHOTOS THAN IT ACTUALLY IS.  THERE IS SCALY SURFACE RUST THAT LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD SANDBLAST OFF.  THE FRAME RAILS ARE REALLY SOLID.

NOTE:  FENDERS AND HOOD LOOSELY ATTACHED WITH 2 BOLTS ON TOP OF EACH FENDER, DOORS ARE BEING HELD ON BY LATCH AND 1 TO 2 BOLTS.

ENGINE IS DISASSEMBLED AND NOT ORIGINAL, BUT IT IS A 429 SCJ.  CODE ON BLOCK IS:  DOVE-A.  FOUR BOLT MAINS.  HEADS ARE:  DOOE-R.  INTAKE:  DOOE-9425-C.  CARB NUMBERS ARE:  DIFF-9510-TA LIST-6361.  HAS RIGHT CONNECTING RODS AND STILL HAS COBRA JET PISTONS STAMPED 429CJ.  THERE ARE TWO C-6 TRANSMISSIONS.  STILL HAS 9" REAR END WITH "N" CASE CENTER SECTION.  APPEARS TO STILL HAVE THE 4.71 GEARS IN IT AND THE LOCKER.

INTERIOR IS VERY USABLE.  IT NEED A GOOD CLEANING.  SEATS ARE NOT RIPPED UP, DOOR PANELS ARE NICE AND HEADLINER IS NICE.  DASH PAD HAS A TACH CUT INTO IT.  THE LOWER METAL DASH HAS FOUR GUAGES IN IT.

ACCORDING TO MARTI REPORT:  THERE WERE ONLY 8 MADE WITH THESE ENGINE / TRANSMISSION CODES AND ONLY 5 WITH DETROIT LOCKER 

THIS CAR DESERVES A PROPER RESTORATION.  IT WOULD TRULY BE A VERY DESIREABLE AND VALUABLE CAR WHEN DONE.  PLUS, YOU WOULD NEVER SEE ANOTHER LIKE IT AT A CAR SHOW TO TAKE IT TO!

NOTE:  THERE ARE MANY PARTS AND THE CAR IS FAIRLY DISASSEMBLED.  THE DRIVELINE PARTS AND EXTRA PIECES WILL PROBABLY FILL AN 8' PICKUP BOX.  AS MENTIONED IN BODY OF AD, FENDERS AND HOOD ARE LOOSE AND WOULD NEED TO BE STRAPPED ON FOR TRANSPORT.

THIS CAR IF FOR SALE LOCALLY AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY IF IT SELLS.
