Nice looking car esp with the white and blue combo

 

[Fury Pursuit]

A pretty early car!

A pretty early car!

First month of production of a completely new model.
I'm confident all the new model gremlins have been worked out by now.
If it had air, I'd come close to paying his asking price.
AFTER I was confident with the 18k miles claim.

A lot of mods under the hood for 18,000 miles....

 

[Fratzog]

Given the condition of seat fabric and carpet stated mileage might be factual. If mine I would have rebuilt the original carb and left well enough alone under the hood. The car is a beauty.

It's not that bad, Bob.
All I can see is the chrome air cleaner that was probably due to the now mandatory carb swap, chrome valve covers probably put on when it needed gaskets, an a somewhat confusing chrome radiator shroud.

Look at the white...... Id absolutely believe the mileage claim

 

[tbm3fan]

I'm more wondering how little he paid the original owner as these guys usually always have something to say about the car. We do too only it almost never involves the original owner of a lower mileage car like this.

Last Sunday night I had someone stop his car on the street and walk up to me as I had all five cars out from under their covers between the garage and driveway. Drove four of them. He wanted to know if any were for sale. Key word, any, which meant he doesn't care as long as it can be resold. I told him they weren't for sale and besides he couldn't afford their non-negotiable price.

 

[Slantsix]

Swap original valve covers, modify some dual snorkel cleaner to fit that carb, paint shroud with black.
And let some1 clean that carpet and its perfect.

I am always really skeptical of any low miles car, but this does look like the real deal.

Nice

 

[330dTA]

Very nice, but I'm wondering if it has had a respray. Or did they just redo the side stripes? Original stripes were black, and went straight from front to rear. The blue stripes here are too close to the creaseline, and turn up on the C-pillar.

Nice car, but I highly doubt the mileage claim.

Good eye...

 

[Zymurgy]

It could have a turned back odometer, but it looks too clean to be 118,000. I honestly don't care what the odometer says, it is the condition of the car.

I get irritated when an ultra low mileage claim in accompanied with an ultra high price. Then you better have documentation to prove it.

Right or wrong, I like it better this way.

Not for the 2-door hardtop Newport, as well as the Convertible. My car has been painted, but the stripes on mine, and the one for sale, appear in the 1970 sales Flyer.

 

[Snotty]

In addition to the comments about the air cleaner, carb, and valve covers, the exhaust is not factory either.

Anyone notice the very dented front wheel trim? Looks like a door crushed that thing.

At least the radiator cap is correct. . .

Pretty sure you could get any color stripe you wanted.
