    Factory colors? Docs? Last time on the road? How far from you?

    $25K as it sits. If drivetrain doesn’t require rebuild, maybe $30K.

    Whew. Not much curb appeal with that one. I hesitate to speculate :D

    TexasT Texas, where are you from

    Should have an 8.5 rear in a 72.
    If it is the one in the pix I think my start would be in the $4500-6000 range and go from there. I m not saying it isn't worth more, just not to me.

    I thought you said earlier this year you weren’t interested in a full resto candidate?

    "Very little rust"- comes with 1/4s, floor pans and a trunk pan. The fenders need work from the pictures.. neat car but maybe there is a fair amount of rust!

    $10-15k and even if free it's a losing proposition but still a neat/rare car. I think I said $20k in the other thread was reasonable but less now w/more info. Also depends on whether the carb/dist. are there, assuming the engine/trans. are orig., what the "lots of NOS parts" entails, a d whether the sheetmetal is orig. or repro.

    At least the car isn't apart.

    $10k for a '72 Stage 1 convertible with the original engine block, transmission, and rearend that's mostly complete and restorable for $10k? I'll take 2 please. Where do I go to pick them up? I'm ready.

    Original carb is missing according to docgsx who looked at the car in person.

    I did and I'm not. My interested was to broker it to a friend that's looking for a project. He offered me a fee to help him buy it but he has now decided he wants a running car even if it needs a full restoration.

    Fire Red with a black top (?) makes it one of two. $21,375.00, but not a dime more
