I'm in SW TN. Hickory Valley 38042. With over drive. I thought I would advertise it on here first and see what happens. I've owned it for almost 4 years. Drives and shifts good.  Everything works except the trunk light and back-up lights. It's a good 30 footer with some chipped paint in places.

I've done:

-all fluids changed, new fan belt, all coolant hoses, vac lines, rubber fuel lines, thermostat, water pump, 9" Spal fan with Davies Craig controller, radiator cap, solid rack mounts, alt rebuilt, air filters, steering column u-joint, half shaft u-joints, timing cover seal and gasket, timing chain tensioner, input shaft bearing (has a scroll seal), pilot bushing, rear OD seal, cleaned OD screens,  trans mount, engine mounts, trans top cover gasket, OD sump gasket, valve cover gasket, pinion seal and nut, rear main seal, drive shaft with replaceable u-joints, pedal pads, starter, battery, 3 piece thrust washers from Custom Thrust Washers. The top is like new. Also has an aftermarket hardtop. Edit: New tires, clutch master cylinder. I bet I missed something.

It's a California car that spent it's life in CA, AZ, OK, and Texas. From the records I have it had a body off restoration around 2002 in Texas. It looks like a DIY type thing. There is no rust. I've got more pics. Happy to share or take more. I've put a little less than 1000 miles a year on it.  $5500.00 (GRMer's OBO me) Six6twofive01nine66one.

Good luck with the sale, but you've got this priced way too low.

I sold a way rougher one for $6500 a few years ago, and here's what Hagerty says it's worth:

Appreciate the heads up! The PO who originally restored it must have been a wood worker by the look of the dash and door panels. I'll edit the price.

Is that an aftermarket hardtop, because it looks more like one for the roundtail cars?

The car presents well and is easily worth what you are asking.

Thanks! I assume that it is. It was on the car when I got it and is fiberglass.

Bump! Y'all aren't being very adventurous. Make a reasonable offer. I need the space.
