Fs: 71 t-top
I BOUGHT THIS CAR OUT OF A BUILDING ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO! THE CAR IS A MATCHING NUMBERS 350(270 HP) 4-SPEED CAR,POWER STEERING, WITH AIR. THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY RED WITH BLACK INTERIOR. HERE'S WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE CAR, THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IN 1980 BY A LOCAL DOCTOR IN NEW MEXICO AND BROUGHT TO TEXAS, THE CAR WAS YELLOW AT THE TIME, SOMETIME AFTER 1980 HE PAINTED THE CAR A GUN METAL GRAY. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A BUILDING IN 1984 WITH HIS OTHER CARS AND SAT THERE ALL THAT TIME!! I BROUGHT THE CAR HOME AND WENT TO WORK. I DRAINED ALL THE FLUIDS. REPLACED THE GAS TANK, HOSES, FUEL PUMP,FUEL SENDER,ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP, PLUGS, WIRES, POINTS, CARB REBUILT. BELTS, HOSES. THE CAR STARTED ON THE FIRST TRY!!! MOTOR SEEMS TO BE OK. THE BRAKES STILL WORK( I DON'T KNOW WHY) I WOULD HAVE THEM REDONE FOR SAFTEY FOR SURE!!! I DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE BLOCK, IT WAS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC ( HE ONLY WORKS ON OLD CARS 1974 BACK) HE'S BEEN IN THE SAME BUILDING FOR 30 YEARS. HE KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING!! HE IS REPLACING THE REAR SEALS AND BEARINGS IN THE REAR END,ALL NEW U-JOINTS, NEW YOKE ON DRIVELINE, PULLING TRANSMISSION AND REPLACING BUSHINGS AND SEALS. THIS SHOULD ALL BE DONE BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK IF HE DOESN'T RUN INTO A PARTS PROBLEM. I BOUGHT A VACUUM HOSE KIT FROM ZIP, I'VE DONE FROM THE FIREWALL FORWARD SO FAR, LIGHTS COME UP KNOW MATTER WHAT YOU DO ( SOMETIMES). THE PAINT IS NOT VERY GOOD( BUT IT STILL LOOKS OK FOR A DRIVER). THE INTERIOR IS REALLY PRETTY NICE!!! THERE ARE A FEW SCREWS MISSING HERE AND THERE, SO I BOUGHT A COMPLETE INTERIOR SCREW SETGOES WITH IT) ALL THE GAGUES WORK . THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THE TACH AND SPEEDOMETER WERE REPLACED, THE ODOMETER HAS 92 MILES ON IT. $13000.00 CASH!! THATS WHAT I HAVE IT FIRM!!! E-MAIL jriffe8844@sbcglobal.net FOR PICTURES

my bottom dollar is $12,500 cash, sorry you could always pull motor add cam, highrise, headers, get bigger valves, still have original motor, should 375-400 hp, or save the original motor get a crate motor to drive, them you would always have the original motor for the car!!! Your getting a spare set of head in the deal that have alreadt been built!! Let me lnow--thanks for the interest--jimmy
