    Hi. Me and my family have been holding onto this car for 17 years since it was overhauled and sold to us in the late 80's. Extensive records showing this. The car was originally robins egg blue, white top. The interior is original. This car has been appraised at $28k restored properly and is truly highly sought after. The car has been stored and maintained since it came from california with the drain plugs removed, no virtually no rust. only spot is the back left wheel arch which has a couple minute pin holes. Other than that perfect pans and body panels all round. parts in the truck, Tuned by my Husband who is a performance mechanic, the little 350 hums smoothly down the road and the 2 speed powerglide tranny shifts flawlessly. I'd drive it anywhere on earth. The price is set at HALF of CURRENT appraisal as we are in a bind and need the money badly. $4000 obo Please come save AMY the convertible! -Tessa 360-275-3197 home 360-535-4759 cell Will not refuse legit offers Belfair WA

    I saw that too, but I figured you'd list it.

    Looks like a great deal, unless something is amiss.

    Hi Chris
    I saw that ad also, I live in Pt Orchard, if anyone is serious about the car. I would go look at it for them, if its not sold yet. I only have room for my Wildcat in the garage. or I would think about. Im only about 15-20 miles from Belfair.

    Gary or Chris,
    I am very interested... Could one of you check this out for me?
    I am looking for a rust free body.
    Could either of you help with shipping towards Minnesota?
    My father lives in Colorado... so I do go there on occasion.
    Thank-you very much!

    Unfortunately I can't help Gil, right in the middle of buying a house and getting mine ready for sale. Besides, if I went and looked at it, I would probably end up buying it.:Dou:

    Gary,
    I very much appreciate the pictures... These tell me exactly what I wanted to know! I will pass on this car. I am really looking for a 'rust free' body.
    Thanks very much for the time and effort!

    Is the car that rusty? The ad makes it sound pretty solid.

    I went over the car pretty good, its not been taken good care of and it has been left to the elements to long. had more rust than ad stated, and would be a good parts car at the right price, not 4K though. To Bad could have been a nice car.
    Gil`s buying beer :beers2:
    Glad to help

    I looked at the car also, every part needed to be redone. I took a thousand dollars with me to either put a deposit on it or make her a offer. I wouldnt pay a thousand dollars for that car.Glen

    Guys,

    That says a lot, because deep down, Glen can see good in cars most of us wouldn't even consider, and if he wouldn't make an offer on it, it is a parts car at best, and probably not even a good parts car!
