Price: US $3,000.00
I want to start off by asking you to please call for honest answers BEFORE you bid. Or better yet, come by and look at the vehicle or have someone inspect it for you. I do the best I can describing my vehicles and I include very good pictures that can be expanded. I do this to try and avoid any misunderstandings. It is impossible to list every little item on a vehicle that may or may not be important to a buyer. Thanks.
Also, please read the payment section carefully. I will not vary off of what is explained there. Cashiers checks may have hold put on them by my bank. My bank will give me a letter of how long the hold will be. I will forward a copy of the letter to you. The length of hold depends on the bank that it is sent from. Some smaller banks can take up to 10 business days. The car will not leave here until my bank says the check has cleared. No exceptions. That is why I like wire transfers and cash.
This is a super cool old fastback Plymouth just waiting on a new owner with a good imagination.
Outside condition: The body is straight and rust free from California. The chrome and stainless trim is in like new condition. Doors close great. Windows all work.
Interior condition: The whole interior was redone at some point. Very nicely done, but they used the old door panels, package tray, etc. that are warped with age. Easy to just make new panels and reuse the material for a super nice interior.
Mechanical condition: It is sporting the original flat head 6 with a 3 speed manual gear box. It runs out great. Supposedly the engine was rebuilt, but I cannot substantiate that. Exhaust is good. Has a new 6 volt battery. Brakes are new, but it has a low pedal. Stops fine, but pedal still too low for my liking. I think it is just a brake pad adjustment, but I cannot figure out how to do it? The brake setup and adjustment is unlike any other brake system that I have seen. I have a new in the box master cylinder that goes with the car, just in case it is needed. Tires are new wide whites. Wipers work. Horn does not. Headlight, brake lights, and tail lights work. Blinkers do not. Radio and heater fan do not work. Original dash gauges all work.
I bought this very cool and rare car with the intention of building a gasser or pro street out of it, but I have too many other projects.
It would look really cool slammed down to the ground.
I have a clear Missouri title that is in my name and matches the VIN tag on the door pillar post.
I will not give out my reserve price. Please do not ask.
NO TRADES, PLEASE DO ASK ASK.
You can make a reasonable offer if you wish, but I will not end the listing once the auction hits the reasonable reserve price.
Now for the business end. I encourage you, or someone you trust or hire, to come by and check out the vehicle in person. I will refund your deposit if the vehicle does not match the above description. The vehicle does not leave here until all funds clear my bank. Bank and cashiers checks can take up to 10 business days. My bank will give me a letter stating the date when the check will clear. I will forward a copy of the letter to you. Bank transfers can take up to 2 days depending on what time of the day it is initiated on your end. Again, my bank will let me know when it clears. Cash is great if picking it up in person.
