I talked to the owner and he said that he has only owned the car for 5yrs.He bought it from a buddy of his,he owned it for 12yrs.The buddy bought it from some dealer in Cedar Rapids Iowa.The way that the car sits is the way the buddy bought it.Asked what he needed out of it,he said"I dont know,but I'm not going to give it away".No serious offers yet but he wanted to know if I wanted to make one.I told him I would get back to him.I told him that I wanted to come back and look at it a little more.He said it was not the end of the world if he didnt sell it,but,his house project kinda went over budget.Its more money than I wanted to spend but I think it is a good investment.The value is only going to go up right?????Time to go wash the truck to take my mind off of it.Probably wont sleep tonight thinking about it.Gotta go.I'll keep you updated.

Kendall,
He who hesitates loses, especially now that you mentioned it here on a public forum. I would go put a deposit on that car asap if I were you, and get a SIGNED and NOTORIZED bill of sale. Unless you can get the cash today, then I would show up with the trailer and cash in hand.
You can bet that people have been blowing up that first pic and trying to get the phone number off of that truck!

Dealer most likely was Rapids. They sold a lot of performance cars in the CR area. Buy it NOW. If you change your mind later, there's probably a line right here who will take it off your hands.

Looks like a good deal, got worried when I saw that rad holddown - but then saw the big 'window' in the support

Go get it!

Update.The car is sold.Yes,it will be in my garage.Waiting on the money.Should be home by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.More pictures to follow then.The wife wanted to know what my intensions were with it.I told her,the car would be left together except to do maint.Our second daughter will be out of high school in 5yrs so that is a good time to tear into it.Drive it for now and tear it down later.She also wanted to know if we were going to haul it to SCR9?I said as much as I would want to,no.Sorry guys pictures only unless you come up for the Berger show and cruise weekend.Cant wait to get it home.

$10k is a steal for that car, looks very original, that engine alone is 3500-4k, good job, good luck with it, join National Nostlagic Nova, wealth of information and resources. SULLY

Couldn't get the car for 10k,had to go the full $$$.Thats ok I just couldn't let this one go by.As for selling the 396 Mr.Deuce has first crack at it if and when it gets upfitted with bigger power.He was the first to ask about the motor,or the whole car purchase if I couldn't swing the deal.So being a man of my word he gets the first call.Next, thanks to all who chimed in for me to go buy the car.Thats what makes this board the best.

It is going to be a long week waiting for the check to come.Mr.Cumby I will trade ya even up for that black Chevelle

Just kidding.The family and myself will totally enjoy the new purchase.The best part about it being a 4spd is that my oldest daughter doesn't know how to drive one,but the wife does
