    City: Syracuse

    State: New York
    Price: 16500
    Price Reduced: $16,500 OBO.

    TRIM CODE = 70C RE J 21A DP1234B

    It has a 272 Y-Block V8. It looks pristine underneath.

    No bondo that I'm aware of....did the magnet test when I bought the car and have been underneath myself countless times over the last 5 years. The one spot that had it was replaced with metal.

    Compression was high when I first took delivery of the car, and I've must have put less than 500 miles on since then. No clutch slippage either.

    I'm not aware of any issues with the car, except the clock doesn't work, the wiper motor may need to be rebuilt (which I did 5 years ago, but it's just a leather diaphragm in there and they dry out I've been told) but it still works, and there's still the occasional drip of oil on my garage floor.

    Over the July 4th weekend I drove it from my house in Syracuse to where I work in Rome, NY, about a 2 hour roundtrip, with zero problems, and I'd happily make that trip today.

    I honestly never intended to sell this car, and what I've spent on it illustrates that all too well. I have saved receipts of over $11K spent on this car plus another $1,600 for Headers (Red's), Bilstein Shocks and Coil and Leaf springs, and dual Porter Mufflers for which I can't find the receipts, for a total of $12,798 (at least!).

    A quick listing of what's been done on the car includes:
    •New Shocks, Springs, Tie Rods, Control Arm and Suspension Bushings
    •Change from Exhaust Manifold with crossover to Dual Exhaust with Red's Headers with Ceramic Metallic Coating and Porter Muflers
    •Frame power washing and Por coating
    •Firestone Wide White Tires?Blasted and painted rims
    •Carb Rebuild
    •Plugs and Wires
    •Vacuum Advance
    •New Gas Tank and Line Flush
    •Radiator Fan Shroud
    •Passenger Door window rebuild (new channels, whiskers and rollers)
    •Drivers Side partial rebuild (new glass, rollers)
    •Door star assembly
    •Wiper Motor Rebuild (giving a little trouble now again, 4 years later, but it works)

    That's the larger stuff. I can e-mail an itemized listing along with the pictures at your request.

    Added some interior and engine pictures as well. I'll see about getting a good enough quality picture of the undercarriage too (which is pristine :) )
