Local pick up only. Will not ship.

Insists local pickup only. Doesn't bother mentioning location.

Says has tons of parts, but won't bother taking pictures of them or listing them unless you ask, and then they will only be sent to you privately. You're presumably expected to be excited about them and start waving your money (cash only) around... blindly.

Has 3 vehicles for sale, barely describes them.

Utterly inflexible about selling process and procedure.

Mhm. Smokin' hot deal obviously, everyone's lined up.

Alabama, for anyone curious. Sounds like a wonderful buying experience, who knows what future joys will be discovered in the process.

So here is the cars info:

So the orange car is complete. I had it running about a year ago. I ran with a gas can, not the tank. Its all there. The body has the normal rust around the bottom and would need floor pans.

The blue one is completely apart but is a rust free car. It had the dealer add on ac. The belly pan is even still all there. It does have a dent in the driver quarter panel right in front of the door. Can be worked out. I think I have all the parts that came off it except the windshield, seats, and the ac console.

The convertible one is the one I was working on and got screwed by 2 different body shops. The second one painted it and about 8 months later it had 2 quarter size spots came up. It was bondo that came loose. Basicity got told to bad. So I started grinding it down again and found they had anywhere from 1/2 to 1 1/4 in of bondo on the hole car. It was not needed. They also did not cap the metal correctly where I cut it off around the back. I got very frustrated and mad. So I lost the drive to work on it anymore. The floor pans and belly pan have been replaced. It needs to be striped down to metal and start over. About half is already done. I don't think there is any cancer in it, but I haven't looked in a while. It had side skirts, front and rear spoilers on it. I still have them. I modified a top frame to fit. Its not a boat top frame stuck on there. I have everything to put it back together as well. Except the windshield. the first body shop broke it and never paid for it.

Lost of parts new and old
New from GT Source: windshield rubber, lights, lenses, lens gaskets, carb with adapters and filter, exhaust, and door and window rubber. The skirts and spoilers are from GT Source as well.
Used: lights, wiper assemblies, steering columns, steering wheels, headlight housings with covers, back glass, quarter glass, instruments clusters, gas tanks, gas sending units, dimmer switches, door handles, ect...

I also have a rotisserie the can be bought with the cars. Its not a home made one. Price can be negotiated for the person that buys these projects.

The convertible is a 70 model
The orange and blue ones are 72 model. I think.
All 3 have 1.9 engines and 4 speed trans
The 70 engine and trans had 69000 miles when I removed it.
No titles in AL. Just bill of sale.

Any questions, post on here, or you can text or call me at the number above.

By the way Matt.. I put all the pics this site would let me. They limited me on how much I could upload. So, yes, I will send pics of whatever someone wants to them. Instead of being a butt, you could give some advice on what would be better or how to post more than the limit on pics. You have a wonderful day

 

[Rick O.]

Howdy, so that I understand you correctly. It's all or nothing? Thanks

 

[gtopel69]

Hello Rick. Yes, I just want it all gone and don't want to spread it out over months or years. Besides what I went through with the convertible, I'm getting older and don't have the drive to get out there and work on it anymore. Hoping to find someone that will either put them together or use them to build other projects.

Oh? Odd. I've posted at least 10 pics in a single post, maybe more. I've done it dozens of times, never seen anyone limited to 3 pics. You're not a new account either. Maybe a classifies section thing.

Didn't know you were having trouble, you didn't mention that.

Sorry for being snarky. Bit of a broken record where people show up (you've zero posts since you joined 10 years ago, except in this thread), and want to sell, but provide basically no information needed for anyone to actually be able to make a decision about buying.

Far as I know you can just copy and paste pictures straight into the body of your text. Or, use Imgur.com and host them there, then paste the image url (or, more cumbersomely, just a link to the whole album).

I understand totally. I could use an instrument panel, but it needs to be out of a 70 or least that is my understanding. I guess it mounts differently? I owned a 72, totalled it, been away from the cars for a stretch, got into Harleys (still am). Picked up two 69 and 70, stuffed V6 into the 70. Biden's gas prices made me find and own the 70 I currently have. Just trying to bring this car into a better condition. Good luck!

So the orange car is complete. I had it running about a year ago. I ran with a gas can, not the tank. Its all there. The body has the normal rust around the bottom and would need floor pans.

The blue one is completely apart but is a rust free factory AC car. The belly pan is even still all there. It does have a dent in the driver quarter panel right in front of the door. Can be worked out. I think I have all the parts that came off it except the windshield, seats, and console.

Also just to let you know from the factory GTs never had ac it was a dealer thing. That is too bad the body shop did bad work.

Good Luck on the Sale!

When I did the post, when I got to the pic part, it said a recommended size. I think i was like 1200x600. So I did that. Then on pic 4 it showed in red that it had exceeded the max mb (mega bites I'm guessing) that is allowed. You said you posted 10 at one time, what resolution did you use? I'm not real good with computers either. but I will work on getting more pics on here this weekend.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I will fix it.

I don't think they mount differently. Not totally sure on that but some of the dash light are shaped different. One stile is round and the other is rectangles.

The dash for the 69 and the dashes later were, indeed, mounted differently. If I remember right, the 69 was a pop in dash and it popped back out easy.

 

[Rick O.]

It is my understanding that 71 and later had more mounting screws, nine maybe? While the 70 had seven. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I will be pulling my instrument panel to install AC and new heater controls, plus mine is broken from PO. Main reason why I'm looking for replacement. I want it right, thanks.
