Equipment
400/335hp Ram Air III, automatic, dash clock, AM radio with8-track player, steel wheels with PMD dog dish hub caps and Firestone Wide Oval bias ply tires, PHS documented.
Condition
Represented as numbers-matching. Very good paint with no visible flaws. Body panel alignment is good but not perfect on the passenger's door and the trunk lid. The front fascia is high on one side and a little tight on the other side and is missing one of the rubber supports on the drivers side. The black vinyl top fits well with no wrinkles or puckering and the top frame is fully restored. The bumpers have been rechromed and the stainless has been buffed to a high luster. The grilles on these cars should be two colors, silver outside with black grilles, but this one is all silver. The underbody is fully restored to factory with correct fuel and brake lines, part and frame tags and the correct oxide finish on the metal. Inside the black deluxe interior has been lightly restored with new seat upholstery and carpet. The door panels appear to be well preserved originals. Under the hood is highly restored with all the correct paint dabs, paint stamps, crayon marks and part tags applied on the assembly line. The Ram Air intake is in place and appears to be a restored original and fully functional. Highly optioned and well restored to nearly like new.
Market commentary
This is a handsome, well done car with a hard to find combination of options and the seller can't be judged too harshly for expecting a little more than this reported high bid. That said, it hammered not sold at a $65,000 high bid in Harrisburg last year and it will only take another trip or two across the block's worth of fees to make that seem like a missed opportunity.
