I bought this car in October, 2012 after it sat in a garage since 1986. It was parked after the previous owner lost a wheel when the aftermarket spacer went. There was some body and suspension damage that he couldn't afford to repair after rebuilding the engine, painting the car and lots of other work. I focused on fixing the mechanical issues and have not touched the visual blemishes. His loss became a dream project for me, which turned bittersweet since I need to sell it due to unexpected twins on the way. About the car:
Originally a big block car (427/390) but now has a rebuilt 350/350 with less than 500 miles. Runs strong. 4 speed manual. All other numbers match and are original (trans, rear, etc.).
New tires, brakes, calipers, hoses, battery, starter, fuel tank and exhaust system on the car.
Very solid, un-hit frame with only minor surface rust. Lights go up and down smoothly and doors close solidly. The roof panels go on and off nicely.
Interior could use new carpeting and seat covers. I have new seat foam and seat belts. Interior panels, doors, roof and dash are in excellent shape.
Body is mostly straight with an older red repaint job (originally Cortez Silver). The only body damage is to the drivers side rear quarter and I have a NOS fender to replace it (see pictures).
I have several boxes of parts, manuals and receipts. Also included is the NCRS Shipping Data Report and the dealer is still owned/operated by the original selling family. I spoke to them and they are looking to see if there are any old records.
Car is garaged all the time.
Twins on the way have me looking for a larger vehicle and freed up garage space.
This is a very good driver car or restoration candidate. I planned to make it a driver, so the parts I used are new but not all NOS.
Please email me with any questions.
Asking price is FIRM at $9,500. I am happy to show the car in Pennington or Flemington, NJ. I did my best to point out all of the blemishes in the pictures below.

No tank sticker I assume? Was the suspension fixed after the wheel fell off? I assume the car is drivable?

The suspension was fixed and I had it out for a nice 2 hour drive yesterday. No issues there.

Cool... I have to see what my $$ situation is looking like and Ill get back to you.

Thanks. I do not have a tank sticker. The tank I replaced was not the original and the previous owner doesn't have it anymore.

I'd love to trade my 79 for that. Of course that accomplishes nothing for you with twins on teh way! A 69 350/350 4 spd is exactly what I've envisioned one day selling my car for.

Mechanicsville? You can't get to NJ from here. Good luck with the deal.

Thanks, but I really do need to sell it. Your car looks great and under other circumstances I may have considered it.

Thoose seats and carpet would need to be replaced huh? and that huge crack by the rear left tire makes me sad

kp1a

The seats need to be redone. I have the foam but didn't get the covers yet. The carpet also needs to be replaced. I started to pull some of it out but didn't get the new one yet.
The rear quarter is a sad sight. I do have a NOS fender to replace it though!

Price reduced. Now asking $11,500.

ClipperFan

Wow! I didn't know you could find a decent running 69 for under $12. I know its rough and everything.............Good luck

kp1a

Thanks! I thought there would have been more interest at $12,500. Oh well.

Hey -
I am a newbie to these cars, but have loved them for a long time. A buddy of mine owns a 77 Vette and I enjoy driving it immensely. I wanted to know if you had quick estimate of

1) Cost in NJ to get the bought parts installed
2) Cost of redoing the interior - nothing to fancy
3) Cost of fixing the rear bodywork

Thanks

kp1a

I planned on doing most of the work myself, with the exception of the body. The ballpark that I heard for the fender is $1,500 (could vary widely). I do have the replacement fender, it just needs to be installed. The other parts that I need to finish the interior are the seat covers (~$300), carpet ($300) and rear compartment frame (~$50). You may find less expensive deals on eBay, Craigslist or at a show. The wiper assembly needs to be reassembled, but I believe all of the parts are there and rebuilt to working condition. With that you should have a very nice, strong driver.
