Gotta love that throttle body fuel injection. I wonder what kind of shape the Rochester unit is in.

wow, even with the condition, lots of wrong parts, and missing any distributor, etc they are sure proud of that car based on their price.
starting bid of $65,000 and that doesn't even meet the reserve price??

So we now have NCRS quality barn finds? And it's a "barn find" because it was in there 8 years? Gee, if you want to make your car special, park it in a barn tonight and find it there in the morning!

Funny how barn finds are NEVER a 327-250 automatic, they're ALWAYS a fuelie. You know how they say there were 20 L-88's made and at least 33 of them have been accounted for? I'm getting the same feeling about fuelies!

" The original white convertible top is in ok condition with mold and will needs to be replaced." hmmmmmmmm, what about ok condition and needs to be replaced are conflicting...........?

I've got to dig out the NCRS sticker that I got when I joined and put it on my windshield to boost the value of my 65. It's been in the garage since Saturday too!!!!!!!

Did anyone notice that the Glove box door is from a 66?

Better check the brakes before you buy it. Looks like they couldn't stop when they pulled it out of the barn and ran over a cat!

Look at the side emblems. The crossed flags are stacked right on the FI emblem, and that emblem is on the body line...wrong! The tach is a HP one, but that could be for a 340HP. Dennis

I also like the fact that the engine is listed in excellent condition...bet it runs good with out a distributor, exhaust disconnected, no Z bar...its also nice that the bellhousing is a bit more red then the engine...looks like it was either going in or coming out.....

Plus the distributor hold down clamp, the oil fll tube and the breather tube fitting are not correct for the 360HP car. Anyone notice the alternator is on the wrong side and thus the exhaust manifolds are incorrect. $65,000? I see at least $30,000 worth of "adjustments" on this rare barn find.

Someone in the near by NJ area please check out the drive train for originality. Is the original fuel injection unit and accessories avaliable?
Too many incorrect parts.

Looking very closely and comparing with my 2 1/2 exhausts, I think those are the small exhausts.

I bet acceleration is a bit wimpy, seeing the throttle linkage does not appear to be in place.

No fan, no belt.....but of course it's naturally an all original numbers matching

The car has an NCRS sticker on the windshield and we are presently tracking down the information as we were unable to find the documentation.
Documentation of whether the sticker has matching numbers? And the sticker is on the wing vent window, not the windshield as if THAT matters.
