Given what classic cars are bringing these days (or a bag of frickin chips for that matter) that seems like a bargain. Hope someone here snatches it up and reunites the car and the power train.

People would kill for that spare tire and jack set up.... Looks likes it was ordered as a stripper, no options..

That is a great deal for a 70 L78 car :beers:

Plain jane TH400 column shift L78...perfect drag car.

Looks like the front seat inserts were replaced and the back floor rubber covering is missing. Other than that it looks very solid...and one of the photos shows the oem spare [xt] and another photo shows a stack of wheels with dog dish caps.

Buy it...go thru and clean it up...check for safety items and drive it. You can take your time with the original motor and tranny. Those two pieces alone are worth over $10k, add in the solid body and it is a good value.

Sully....you need another 70 :biggthumpup::cool2:
