This was a real barn find complete with many mouse nests. Stored away for many years. Older amateur paint and body work. I removed the rug to check floors and all look nice. The trunk floor has surface rust with a few spots that have gone through. Previous owner made the small patches held in by silicon. Bottom is nice and solid. Quarter panels have the usual rot. There is bondo in them. Doors, rockers and fenders look good. Unibody and braces look good. Area in the firewall where there is early rot from mouse nest. Car runs and drives decent. Here is a list of parts I installed, and repairs I did to make it driveable:
New high quality plated gas tank, grommets, and new brass float. All new correct tank vent lines.
Water pump, fuel pump, filter, fuel line to carb, and cooling hoses/ correct clamps.
Grease, Oil and filter change. Top off tranny and differential. Pack front wheel bearings.
Nos master cylinder, front brake hoses, front brake shoes.
New alternator bearings.
Took lots of pictures and welcome questions. Car is registered and I drove it a few miles around town. The muffler is getting load, but is sounds real nice. Sounds like a 340!
Upper A arm bushings look worn so front end needs alignment, missing 1 rally wheel trim ring. Rear main seal drips, radio works but needs a speaker, tachometer works but jumps around a lot. Rest of guages work perfect. Engine runs smooth with good oil pressure, no smoke or blowby. Differential is tight, and has no leaks.
Convertible top is deteriorated and needs replacement. Car comes with a new black top, pads and a new glass rear window for you to install.
Interior is fair as shown. I installed new sill plates. Bumper jack and all parts are there. No spare tire.
All in all a decent old car thats very tough to find that needs a little TLC.
$600 deposit due within 48 hrs of auctions end. Full payment due within 7 days cash or a cashiers check by an American bank. No bidders with below 5 feedbacks unless you contact me. Please don't bid if you don't have the money. Thank you!

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars
Sat, 18 Jan 2014The Plymouth Superbird is one of those classic American cars from the muscle car era that has captured the imagination of all sorts of automotive enthusiasts long after its presence on roads and race tracks wore away. It's easy to see why. Where else but in the Swingin' Sixties and Seventies would a car leave the factory with an aerodynamics package that included a pointy beak and a rear spoiler that sat several feet above the rear deck?
The example you see above, which was born in 1970, is one of the finest Superbirds we've ever seen. Combine its complete restoration with its original 426 Hemi engine, and it's no surprise that it managed to bring in a cool half million dollars (plus 10 percent in fees) at Barrett-Jackson. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above, and scroll down below for the official auction description.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.
