That would be one of the very first to arrive here, early model.

It is the rare 3spd manual, I've seen about 4 others (inlcuding my own).

Nice little project but if you can see that much rust then there may be a fair bit more.
Its got a few goodies doesn't it. What do you guys think of the price? Might go and have a look if I get the time.
The dash cluster, the heater, the grill, the indicators all say it's a genuine 67 or even 66? If you really wanted to confirm have a look at the striker plate for the door close mechanism and you'll see it's a toothed version (early).

I think these are the best of the lot with the 3spd column shift, but it'd need a fair bit of work to get to a decent standard. The paint has had it as it's all chalked up. I reckon there'd be a fair bit of hidden rust.

There are two words in his description that are very appropriate 'project' and 'time' (which = big money).

Put it this way, if I were about to do a $8,000 restoration (minimum) I'd start with an early 1000, I think they're the ones that would hold more value compared to the others, but that value may not eventuate for anothe 10 or 20 years! haha

$800 is about as much as I'd pay. And I'd buy something else for that value before buying this.

Go have a look at it take some bigger pics, make it your priority to look at the paint and find the rust. But I reckon this one is a long term project.
Genuine deLuxe too.

So that means some additonal shiney bits, some bumper over-riders a couple flash armrests and some feature badging.
I want to have a look at it not as a restoration project but as something I could put back together and get through the pits, plus I want a 2 door. If it hasn't been on the road in 10 years I doubt I would have a chance, we'll see what he says. I am not really interested in resale or paint either, $500 is probably closer to the mark. rats not show cars!
This one has also popped up on ebay with a 3 day listing, for those that don't check ebay regularly (probaby no-one on here!). Might not fetch a very high price with such a short time on the auction, we will see...
