local roadside find.
Didnt look at the engine ...but for a "bumper car" that looks in good shape , I thought "13K or best offer" seems like a good deal for somone ....
Maybe the C3 prices are not holding up ?

At that price, the only two things that MUST be checked out before handing over the ca$h are: a rusted out frame and/or birdcage and that the title is clear and not a 'salvage' job.
[If there is a problem with that car, I would suspect it would be with the title.]

I like the car.
Being the hood doesn't have the 454 or LT-1 numbers, you can about rule those out...more than likely aftermarket. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the '72 has bright egg crate front grills while '70 and '71 have square mesh. That is Daytona Yellow, only available on '69 and '70. My guess would be a '70 SB for that price, probably NOM. If it ain't rusted, it still sounds like a good deal.

If it's a non numbers matching car with a fake hood, it's not worth 13k.
If it's a numbers matching small block car with a fake hood, it's a fair deal.
If it's a BB car, it wont be there for too long.
