NOT MINE 1971 TNT Newport sedan

[marko]

71 US market option & accessory reports say of the 9935 newport custom sedans shipped, .5% had U code TNTs.

so thats 50 cars ( 49.675)

Unfortunately (kind of) there is someone taking a look at the car. I am second in line if that falls through as I am told.

I cant believe its taken this long to find a buyer. Car was on craigslist for like two weeks prior to making its way over here.

You dont even see basic 383-2bbl cars that clean for that cheap anymore....

Yes, at $2200 it's really surprising it didn't become an engine/trans donor - especially with the '6-pack' bottom end it would have.

I'd bet dollars-to-donuts that if a guy got it running/drivable, and offered it for sale for $4000, it would become an engine donor to a B/E body.

Apparently, the first in line has the knowhow and ability to restore the car.
That is his plan, whomever he may be.
At least, we know here, that the car will not go to a derby guy.
The owner said he would not sell it to a derby guy.
Very good to hear, even if we lose track of this car.

1970 U-code and A35 trailer towing package, yet B51 all-drum power brakes. By 1971 disc brakes would be standard.

I am not sure why, but the trim tag is X'd out on post 21 .
Now I can't seem to find my saved picture of this fender tag.
@ayilar Did you save this tag? Can you repost it please if so?

I can still see it:

The CL ad has been deleted, so the car is sold. I hope that we see it again.

As for the tag, I can't see it either. I see an X, too. Here it is:

.....loose track of the car? Ever see it again? Sometimes I feel like there is a secret society of C body owners that knows all but never tells all.

Perhaps Polara Dave knows who bought the car?

 

[ayilar]

To be clear, I am not the buyer. @cuda hunter and I had figured out how to save this GJ4 if it did not sell yesterday, but it sold, so there was no need to step up.

GJ4 April Green as I thought when I saw that deck lid underside...

A step up from the usual "dumpster green" and it's rumored that @polara71 even doesn't dislike this color.

@saforwardlook recently ordered a can of GJ4 from TCP Global and they sent him a can of shite instead. They have been bought out, it seems. So if the new owner is planning on painting the car hopefully they can find a good paint source.

I don't think this car needs painting, just a good cleaning.
