Neat car.
Never knew about the bumper option in 70.

The stripes across the top are a bit interesting. Personal taste for sure. Not sure if it still has the original engine or not. Seems to kind of dance around that.

Lots of changes in the details. Kind of common on these cars. The woodgrain around the instruments-shifter isn't original, but something someone cut out of a thin veneer. The wiper arms are for a hidden wiper option, but the wiper motor isn't. Lots of little things like that scattered around. Nice car though.

He has a picture of the engine pad. What makes you think it's not the original block?

Didn't see that photo. I guess the description...he wasn't doing the usual "matching numbers", "real deal", etc hyperbole. It caught me off guard.:laugh:

Engine stamp looks good to me. Interesting comparison on the axle code:

The BAT car was built the same week as my 70Z, approx 1500 cars before mine and has a March 3rd stamped axle (COZ 3.73). My car has a Feb 11th stamped axle (almost 3 weeks earlier) but is a 4.10 gear COO code. I guess the lower production 4.10 axles sat for a while longer than the standard 3.73 rears waiting for a car needing that option.

I like the car...wish I had room.

I chalk that up to owning a car for half a century. Just not that big of a deal to him after all these years. Shame he redid the seats.

Yes, for Norwood-built, which it is.

Hey Steve,

Thoughts on the speedo cable extension? Ever seen one on a 70Z?

Also the depressed park wiper blades on the non-depressed wiper motor. Factory screw-up? The screw in studs missing on one head seems a bit of a reach. Lots of good photos on this one. Price seems very good at this point.

Never seen a legitimate original with a speedo cable extender Dave...I think the description says something about the depressed wipers added...I guess they didn't realize it takes more than just adding the wiper mechanism. I missed the head without the screw in studs...lots of pics and I just did the Evelyn Wood review. Also note it does not have the original hood hinges...just strange why such a low mile car would not have the original hinges.

If it stays under 30k it will be well bought... think about what it would take to put the car 100%.
