I have to rely on the eyes of others to help me if I bid on this car, wondering if anyone is near Liberty Lake WA that might be able to take a look at it to give an opinion or if anyone has already seen this car in person? If so please PM me. Thanks in advance for any help.

I love it. Advertise it as a No Reserve auction and say you want 75k locally and you reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Especially when it doesn't get to 75k! Now the bid is only 30k...

Besides a gran coupe is not worth 75k when it's an original small block car.

I'm sure if the bids don't get near what he wants we'll see the auction end early saying item no longer available. I decided to go race a 2-day motocross race this weekend anyway so this one's out.
Will ask for advice again on the next one I find!

Looks like the seller has good feedback selling other vehicles.  One negative one back in 2006, but there was an offer to buy it back.  Seller leaves a phone number and does not hurt to talk to them.  Again, restomod values cannot be compared to stock restored cars.

If you read the Q&A at the bottom, he will allow independent inspection prior to the winner picking it up.  The hood scoop, not for me, but man negative comments about cars others are interested in.  I respect everyone who's taste is a bit more liberal than mine.  If the winning bid is right where its at and the owner gets it, that is a damn good buy, for what that car is.  The hood is easily rectified if the new owner wants to change it.  I can only imagine how much money went into that motor, let alone the restoration.  If the car was in the Seattle area, I'd look at it, but Liberty Lk, is a bit far away. Almost everything is new, according to the seller.  Im just not a restomod person.

I like the combo of Cars and girls but I cannot for the life of me take a for sale add seriously when they post pictures with girls. I am buying the car and I want to see the car ditch the props.

Well you can take a shot at it via Ebay and then back out because cars are non-binding agreements on Ebay.

This is why you see a ton of cars being relisted all the time.

Ya, the ad has been festooned with images of a Wilma Flintstone MILF (or GILF?) in case any car nut is into those.   :rofl:

Car is nice, but if it's not a 'vert, just not into clones that much.

Crossram/hood is kind of stupid.  Put that intake/carbs on a '66 Coronet or '64 Fury.

I will NEVER understand the appeal of colored plastic wiring loom all over the engine.   :faint:

I saw this car for sale a while back on Craiglist when I was looking the guy wanted 34500 since then the car has changed owners a few times and has been on eBay twice. I was close to buying it but it was a little out of my budget the car had a Alaska plate in the original pics. I still think about the car a lot lol very nice machine
