Looking to replace my 69 that I was forced to sell. This is what I am looking for. A 69 to 71 convertible with a stick shift, Tilt wheel, pw steering, and pw brakes I would prefer a big block but not a necessity side pipes and AC preferred, PICs are a must I am looking at the $25 to $30 range. Color combinations I am open to most just no silver. I am ready to pull the trigger now not looking for a project car, I understand these are 45 plus years old and wont be perfect at this price bracket.

Hi, This is not an exact match but might be of interest. I have been the owner of this 71 Brands Hatch Green 350 CI Air Convertible for thirty years. I have owned a few before this that have always "nickel and dimed" me but this is a truly special car. Rock solid. I used it as a daily driver while working in New Mexico for a couple of years before moving to New Hampshire. It has been kept in my heated garage and only driven occasionally, but maintained and inspected annually. It is a numbers matching car that had a body off restoration in the mid 80s when I bought it in Colorado before moving to NM. It doesn't have a piece of broken glass on it! The odometer has about 86K on it and I had the motor freshened around 60K. At that time they added a slightly better CAM that bumped up the performance from the original 300 HP so it probably is more like 330-370 HP, but I have never dyno'd it. It pulls strong in all gears though. I added SS brakes, a mono leaf spring and a 5K custom audio that did not result in cutting the car anywhere to enable it to be returned to its original state if desired. The custom audio included a modern Alpine AM/FM CD player, Hi-Power Amp that resides in the storage compartment behind the seat with a CD changer, replaced speakers inside the doors without cutting and added a small sub that sits on the floor in the back of the car with Velcro - awesome sounding work by Rich's Car Tunes known nationwide for his custom work on show cars that enables you to enjoy good music with the top down. I have the original AM/FM Mono radio somewhere I believe and it could be replaced to return the car to original state.
I purchased the car to drive it and enjoy it and have done so for years. I would have no fear in driving this car cross country. I don't think there are very many air rag tops around. Most of the fiber optics work but the clock does not. Repaired it once and it stopped again - probably a ground issue. It has PS and T&T wheel but manual windows. Also doesn't have the big block or side pipes as you desired. It does sound nice though imho. I can provide additional pictures, answer questions or have a telephone conversation. Thanks,

I got 1968 roadster, frame off 18 years ago, small block 4 spd car, added PS and PB when restored, has big block hood, and I have matching small block hood painted , I think I spent 50k restoring it, the OE radio ***** cost me like $200 at Carlisle 15 years ago. kids in college. $20k
Not my car, but craigslist Chicago has this 70 4spd. roadster. Asking $32,500. Contact 847 393-7887.
Thank you for sending me the pics the red one at 32.000 I have actually seen it's a nice car but base model, no power anything, it's a nice car like I said but I am looking for is more than that was plus it's a bit high priced for what it is. The car is on consignment so the seller needs to be a bit more realistic as to what they have and price it accordingly.

Ok your car sounds intriguing But I have to see pics of the car before I will even discuss any further if your serious about selling please provide pics of the car and a list of options.

Gus68vette,
Thank you for showing me your 68 but unfortunately I am not looking for any 68 vettes, you have a very nice ride I just don't care for the door handle set up on the 68's I wish you the best of luck with your sale.

Hi, I have attached some additional pics of the undercarriage. If there are specific areas of the undercarriage I can try to provide those as well. What other types of information would you like?
Thank-you.

Hi,
where is car located? I noticed that there is no brake booster manual? what condition is the top in, and what kind of records do you have on the car. I see that a frame off was done in the 80's do have records of all this and is there anything you think might need to be done in the near future?

Thanks again..
The car is located in New Hampshire. It doesn't have power brakes, but it does have SS brake calipers. I don't have any records of the body off frame restoration but I know the story which I am happy to share with you over a phone conversation. It would be too long to tell via email or a post. It was done by the previous owner in Colorado where I purchased the car. I can put you in touch with the mechanic who has maintained the car for me during the last 20 years. The car needs nothing. I would drive it cross country today without any reservation. I am going to see if I can post a video of it running.
