I have decided to throw this up for sale,if it sells O.k,if not O.K to,no biggie.I'm just not using as much as I thought I would,so if someone is looking for a turn key car to take down the track and run 11's and drive on the street as well with all working lights,blinkers,horn,radio,and even the heater and wipers,here it is.

It has a steel cowl scoop welded on an orig hood,the air cleaner goes up inside it when shut to take in outside air. Also have some parts that go with car,2 new quarter panels,and rear wheel well moldings not on car. The car needs the new quarters for metal work,but has real nice solid hood,fenders,doors,floors and trunk.So basically ,just the 1/4 panels need to be replaced,bodywork,and paint.Rad support and inner fenders are excellent.Actually,very clean eng bay. Great street/strip car that runs rather well for whats in it,already built,turnkey,no new engine to fire up or work bugs out of,already tuned for you to just get in and drive at the track and on the street.Starts up and idles great,very responsive. You know the time and money to build something like this, $7,500 firm PM me if interested.
paul, leveille's in somers just brought in a wrecked 69 special post car(canada). right front hit a tree(?). body from the door latch back is almost rust free. took a magnet to it, found no bondo. reason for crash....idiot puts on humungous rear sway bar and left the little front on it. real great for handling on the back roads. the car was listed on eastern ct craigslist.
Hi Johnny,thanks,my car is real clean for rust,actually very solid,mint trunk floor,floors,doors,fenders,even the rad support is mint,except for the 1/4 panels around the wheel opening.I have two new repo 1/4's that will go with the car if it sells.
Getting close to my "keep it" price. $ 8,900 which includes the two new 1/4's @ $380 each. Will be bringing it to Lake Compounce,Bristol,Ct swap meet Nov 6th,then going on E bay if it does'nt sell.
Bump,offered it up here for the Buick crowd,on Racing junk now and ebay tonight.Can't beleive what this car has in it,11.90-12.00 car turn key with absolutely no problems and not so much as any interest or offers from any buick guys. Do I have to part this thing out ???????Would be a shame.
I'd love to help ya out, but that stupid money tree I planted still isnt growing!!:ball: Seriously though, I've got more than that in just my motor, and its not really anything outragious. Im definitely a little surprised given that this is a solid car you can jump in and play with right outta the gate that you havent had any real serious prospects. Let me check my sofa cushions and Ill get back to ya!!ray: (I wish...)
This is a great deal for the money but I think this is a good indicator of the condition most of our nation (and world) is in right now. :ball: Maybe keep it and see what the future holds?
