Nice looking survivor on Facebook, probably still has a build sheet or two in it under the seats.

That’s nice!!! It even includes the original Muncie shifter. Definitely a couple build sheets to be found in that one.

Serious offers only! My dad passed away 5 years ago and our family has decided to sell his car. All numbers match, everything is original except he replaced the shifter, as seen in the photos. My dad was the original owner and we have the original sales receipt. Car has been kept covered in his garage. The car has around 65,000 miles. There is some rust on it and I've included the close up pictures that show this. I am happy to answer any questions you have.
Asking $50,000.00 in Tipton Iowa

Any one know this car? I'd like to make a serious run at it but can't get out to Iowa anytime soon.

I don't know the owner Teddy but I was just in Tipton a couple weeks' ago for work and could stop by to look at the car for you on 6/7/21 when I get back from vacation if it's still available. The car was for sale a month or two ago on Craigslist but they were asking 65k for it then, or something close to that.

If the seller's dad was the original owner, what's up with that Dymo tape on the POP?

I looked at buying this car about 2 years ago. Same kind of pitch and was very serious about it when the owner just went ghost and I never chased it any further. The price at the time was around $43,000 FWIW

Obviously, they have been pushing the price up if they still in fact have it?

A buddy of mine reached out to the owner and was told there is a sale pending @ asking price, with a Tuesday pickup date. The seller also confirmed that they had the car up for sale 2 years ago for a short while, but decided not to sell it at that time.

I received an email from the seller that she's 'pretty sure' the car is sold but will let me know otherwise after Tuesday.

----Could the flipper just wipe the dust off the engine? A quick vacuum might help as well. If you can't bother to do anything, I'm not interested,,,period!....Bill S

Wow, I imagine the original owner's family was hoping it would go to someone who would cherish it for a while the way their dad did. They probably weren't counting on it being flipped for a profit. Oh well, free country. At least he didn't LS swap it.

Flipper most certainly could've been more respectful to PO's family than a quick resale but online info suggests he's otherwise a regular car guy also TC Member, kids' baseball coach etc.
Looks like a great car, best of luck anyone who can land it now.

If you don't do your due diligence as a seller you can except for most anything to get "flipped".

Like I said, it's a free country - once they own it, they can do pretty much whatever they want with it. Hopefully it won't end up overseas where so many other musclecars have gone.

----I think of a flipper as someone who doesn't have a dealers license. I probably would be termed a flipper at different times in my life, but I at least had the decency to clean a car completely and fix what I could and make the car better than when I bought it. It just seems like common sense......Bill S

Before I pass judgment, did you unload the cars from the trailer before you took pics for your sale ads?

----No, That never happened. I feel that I have made every car I have ever had better. The percentige of better would vary of course!....Bill S

That drives me insane when I see a car forsale and it’s on a trailer at a gas station!

Those folks can't even wait to get it home to take pictures. Talk about burning a hole in your pocket.
