440 engine. 727 Torque Flight transmission. Runs. Needs brakes. Original upholstery. Minimal wear on the drivers seat. $3,500 obo. Please text (preferred) or call (360) 460-9623

It looks like it has BUDD disc brakes so the brakes will take some effort to repair/ replace

Oooh that does look nice and with a white interior no less!

 

[mr. fix it]

How can you tell it has the Budd brakes??

And a good color and no vinyl top!!! The pacific NW has some cool cars, just wish I was closer.

The hub caps are specific for 15" wheels with disc brakes.

That's the kind of car where you use a set of '73 spindles and disc brake hardware and sell off that Budd stuff.

Again for sale by new owner

Car was sold but for sale again for the same price ($3500) Probably the BUDD disc brakes are the deal breaker. Still looks like a nice car.

This car's in great shape, with just under 100K mi, I'm the first owner outside the original owners family, and the fourth owner overall. I bought the car less than a month ago, and although I love it, the wife and all the other projects say I can't keep it.
My loss is your gain.
good:
straight body, never wrecked
no cancer
sweet interior
fresh radiator/thermostat
runs and drives
bad :
needs brakes
some surface rust
Sorry I don't have more pics, I'll be able to send some more around noon Sunday if you're interested.
Best time to see it is Sunday noon-Monday 2:00

Anybody know if the aftermarket disc brake conversion kits take care of this problem, as an alternative to tracking down later year spindles? Just thinking that if you were considering an aftermarket disc conversion anyhow, would the BUDD brakes still be a problem?

You have to use the factory drum brake spindles for the aftermarket disc brakes. Or just get the 69-73 disc setup.

Be cheaper on this one to get the 69-73 stuff and covert it. But just think, you don't have to worry about having to find the right master cylinder, brake booster, or proportioning valve, as they are already there.

Plus the 15" wheels and caps already on car.

Exactly.

Left front brake is stuck, master cylinder leaks. Interior is decent, driver seat has splits, but overall really decent. Some surface rust in the trunk, and at the upper left corner of the lip where the trunk seal lives. It's pretty clean and straight, and the hide-aways even work.
