Just think of the $$$ you would have to dump into it.

No flipping here, it would have to be for the pure love of the car.

Do you think they will leave it or will they restore.

Probably clean up better than it looks

Graveyard Cars guys could restore it to new.

I remember seeing one coming down the road at me, in 1970.
Honestly, I thought it was ugly.
Dealers had a lot of trouble selling them, and removed the nose and wing often.
72 Cuda, owned 25 years. 496, with ported Stage VI heads, .625 in solid roller, 254/258 at .050, 3500 stall, 3.91 rear. 850 Holley DP, Reverse manual valve body.

1999 Trans Am, LS1, heads, cam, headers, stall, etc! Love to surprise the rice rockets with this one. They seem so confident, then it's "what the heck just happened?"

We all thought they were ugly back in the day.

i always loved the tall wing. a relative in Montana had a forest green one that he would bring over to the farm in Washington once in a while. last time I saw it was 20 years ago, I've always wondered if he still has it.

$90k is about what I figured it would sell for. When I saw the pre-auction estimate of $150-180k I knew they were nuts, it's not a Hemi car. A friend of mine was at the auction and he said he didn't look the car over super close, but said it should be able to clean it up and drive it as is without doing a full resto.
