Ran across a GS for sale: (clear title) 1970 GS 350 Needs: trunk floor, both quarters, hood, grill, core support, inner fenders, frnt. bumper, breather, auto. shifter and console, 2 wheels. (basically a rolling body with 2 fenders and a piece of a core support. It has bucket seats and some of the interior. Locked 350 engine with old Turbo 350 trans. Also included are: fresh 1976 455 block that needs honed to remove light rust, new hemi killer cam, new roller timing chain, good used KB 118 cam, NOS outside door handles, NOS breather support bracket, clean good used set of 1970 455 pistons and rods, Micro polished 455 crank. Few more odds and ends that don't amount to much. Car was originally the light green color with black bucket interior. May have heavy duty rear suspension (has some kind of rear sway bar not like my 71 GS?). Single track rear with approx. 323 gear. Owner is a Mopar specialist, so he assumes all cars are worth a fortune when restored. He asked me $1500 and said he would have it crushed before taking less. IS IT WOrTH IT?
Wow, what a genius when it comes to math! LOL ! That car is worth about 500 at most. I would leave your name and number and when realizes he will get $50 for it at the crusher, $500 will look a lot better. If you do get it, best to part it out.
yeah, what george said. he aint much of a car guy if he would rather crush it at $50 than to take $500 to let someone save it. i dont care for people with that attitude. you might remind him that even when it was actually a car, it was only a sb car, not a STAGE 1. henry
You guys seem to think like I did. Me and dad wasted 2 hours today tracking this thing and its owner down. He told me he was almost sure it was a 455 car, which would have helped it. But, I learned here that BBB cars had boxed frames, so I knew it was a SBB. I am not even going to bother him with an offer again. Now about the complete 71 GS 2 miles from my home quietiently rotting to the ground when the boy will not sell it to me. Awesome color combo, bucket seat car, tilt wheel, rear defrost, 8 track, N25 bumper, good bumper guards and a perfect GS grill!!! It has been in the same place for 8 years. I have been after it for 2 years now. The little boy has had the same story for 8 years. "I am going to fix it one day." One day he will see it hauled off to the crusher, instead. People kill me sometimes.
Happens all the time. I would have told him that I'd call the crusher for him. You could wait on him for a while, he could soften up.
THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO 1970 MODELS!!! (sorry for shouting...) On a 70 you differentiate big block and small block cars by the VIN 44637 = 455 43437 = 350 All hardtop 1970 GSs will have an open frame. Boxed frame is only on earlier cars (thru 66 or 67, forget which) Of course, with a 350/350 combo in it, it is still probably a 350 car. Still worth $1000 or less, with the motor parts, IMHO
Well, good to know about the frame again. The car had a vin # of a small block car. Not worth what he is asking.
