I bought it off the original owner 2 years ago and have finally gotten to her this summer. Before that it was sitting for 15 years in storage.
All stock 350 4 bbl with an auto tranny on dual exhast. I bought some parts off Jegs to get her up and running just from sitting including a new 4 core aluminum radiator, ew carb, uel filter, uel lines, ew hoses, erpentine belt and an ignition module, ires, ap, otor and plugs. I dropped the gas tank, leaned it and put it back on. Drained and refilled the rear end and tranny with fresh fluids. Bought some used valve covers and replaced them along with new gaskets. Theres a newer used battery in it now that works fine. I bought 4 used matching firestone tires for it and installed. 70 percent tread left. Rebuilt the brakes. Have reciepts for all work done and all the new stuff is under warranty. All the lights work. Speedo works. Everyhing is as it should be. Missing the radio and front speakers though.
Car starts, nbsp;runs and sounds good. Its a decrnt runner. Stops good too. Theyre a little touchy at the brake petal but they work. Takes off nice and straight. Ive rode it on the highway ( minimally less than 5 miles) a couple times the last month. Its really a nice driver as is. Factory air cond ca, (still has evaporator but compressor is gone) has factory tilt wheel, onsole shift, actory black bucket interior on ok condition. Headliner good. Seats fully operational. Its just old. Dashboard is clean with no cracks. Center console is also in great shape. This car needs restored to be truly exceptional. Has a little rust on the corner of the back glass needs some help but the rest of the car has very little rust, he inside of trunk and quarter panels are pretty much rust free, as a little bubbling bottom rear of fenders, assenger door has been damaged and repaired a long time ago and they did an ok bondo job on it also the car was a vinyl top car that was removed a long time ago and the holes filled with bondo the original owner told me. Frame is solid. Dog cage/ firewall is solid.
In my opinion personally if I were to keep the car it will need to be fully stripped down and repaired correctly to be an A+ looker like the ones on here going for $15-$25k or If your a handy man you could do a little body work, hrow on a quick paint job and drive it as is and have a REALLY nice car for the money. It wouldnt take much to take this car to a whole new level.
I have a stock 400 formula hood with scoops, umper and grill as well as a brand new 400 formula trim and badge setup I can throw in for the right price . Interested parties can email me with any questions they may have. Can help with shipping if not far from me.Less than 300 miles wouldnt be a big deal. I would like to get back what Ive got into it and move on to the next project. Most of the hard work is done here already. Make a reasonable offer if interested. Its time for this bird to fly! Thanks for looking. Car is located in Joliet Illinois. Payment would have to be bank to bank transfer or certified cashiers check.
