It is sold with a Georgia Tag Receipt and Bill of sale. I do have the old title but it is “Georgia Killed” if you know what that means. So its sold as described on the back of the registration with a copy of the registration and the bill of sale. It is in my name as a private seller.

So here is the story. A friend of mine found the car sitting in a storage barn in Covington, Georgia last year. It had been sitting there without the motor for over 10 years. It had been painted a while back and the engine was out of the Chevelle. The matching number engine was rebuilt at some point, but was not in the car. See some of the pics.

The rebuilt engine was put back in the car as well as new inner fender wells. The engine bay was detailed pretty nice. New cad brake booster, new master cylinder, new ceramic coated headers and some engine chrome dress up as well as a new AC Delco battery.

In addition, we put a new windshield in, and new gas tank and fuel sending unit. We made sure absolutely everything worked.

The car was lightly scuffed and buffed. The paint is a basecoat clearcoat job.

Factory dash with round face fuel and speedometer

Everything works on the car speedometer, heater, lights, dome light, turn signals, dash lights, and lights all work great.

According to NADA Classic Car value guide my car would be considered BETTER than AVERAGE.
See below on descriptions from NADA on classic car values:
Average Retail Value
This vehicle would be in good condition overall. It could be an older restoration or a well-maintained original vehicle. Completely operable. The exterior paint, trim and mechanics are presentable and serviceable inside and out. A "20-footer".
High Retail Value
This vehicle would be in excellent condition overall. It could be a completely restored or an extremely well-maintained original vehicle showing very minimal wear. The exterior paint, trim and mechanics are not in need of reconditioning. The interior would be in excellent condition. Some vehicles may be considered "matching numbers" vehicles.
My car is priced probably UNDER NADA MARKET, so if you are interested you should go ahead and bid, call or TEXT 770- 639 – 3671

Everything works on the car– speedometer, Heater, lights, console light, turn signals, dash lights, speedo and fuelgauge, back up lights, and lights all work great

So the paint is about 10 years old. In very good condition. Not perfect, but very nice. The car is very straight.

The interior is in good shape. It appears to have all original glass except the new windshield.

Condition

Overall the car is just a nice old cruiser car, especially given that it is a 45 year old car. As far as we can tell it has only had one re paint and all of the metal IS ORIGINAL. Very clean car overall but I would not call it a perfect show car, at least not to win trophy’s with. It’s more of a survivor style car, not really a full restoration. The underside has a new gas tank, but it’s not a super cleaned and detailed underside.

The engine starts up quick. The choke works. Has a nice rumble. It’s NOT loud. It’s NOT fast. It’s more of a cruiser type car.

Everything works on the car. It’s an old school car no Air, no stereo, no power windows or power locks. It does have a remote drivers side mirror.

Back up lights, glove box light, all side marker lights, horn, radio all work.

Here are the “picks” I have.

The interior is a bit older looking but its pretty nice. Only slight wear on the dash bezel and lens. It has the factory AM radio and it does come on and does play.

The seats have been covered at some point. There is a slight split in bench seat in a seam. Maybe 1-2” split. I’ll show you pics. The carpet has been replaced at some point, but it does look older.

The headliner is in good shape, but the side sail panels are sagging a bit.

The BFG TA radials are brand new.

It does have a few chips here and there as well as minor paint scratches and touch up, but keep in mind it is an old car that is 45 years old, so that has to be expected. The paint is older and has a few minor blemishes here and there, but I do mean minor. They do not show up in pictures.

The driver’s door and doorjambs are a bit pitted. They look like they may have been sand blasted at one time. They have been repainted. In addition there is some slight paint bubbles behind the right wheel but it seems solid and a magnet does stick to it.
