Equipment

302ci V8 warmed up with Crower Cam, roller rockers, Keith Black pistons, 650 cfm carb on Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake. Automatic transmission with over drive, 9 rear end with 3.50 gears. Modern disc brakes and updated power steering. P W, P Seats. Billet steering column with tilt wheel. State of the art sound system. Tube grill, American Racing Torque Thrust wheels. Body is straight except for uneven trunk fit; paint is very nice, chrome is first rate, top and interior are in equally good condition. This is a nice car if a Retro Mod Rod is your thing. No Reserve.

Market commentary

Passed at B Js auction at the Petersen Museum in LA in June at a reported high bid of $29,000 and posted with an asking price of $40,000 in the post sale lot. Its reported price here is appropriate to the car, even though the modification are very well done, it appeals to a very limited audience.
