For Sale 1970 Polara Ragtop

[Big_John]

These are pics his helper took.

Interior was decent, seam split in driver seat, and a new carpet would be nice.

Me, inspecting the rear quarters

Top is really nice. One less thing to fool with.

Checking the top operation. It was snowing like crazy at this point, so I didn't take it down all the way.

So... Has he budged on the selling price?

 

[Big_John]

Some videos of it running. Not the greatest audio. Car actually run pretty well since it hadn't been run in a long time.

Who knows? The owner was really sentimental about the car, but sentimentality and what it's worth are always different.

As I said before, he's high on the price... But!! If you really wanted a B7 blue Polara vert with a white top that might be a good price.

The car is solid and I would say that $1000 and some TLC would give you a running, driving car. It will need tires and fluids etc. Probably go through the brakes and suspension. Some clean up, and maybe a new carpet would make it very presentable. Bodywork and paint along with chrome will easily take it up over $20K, but it could be a really nice car.

B7 is hard to resist . It is dying for white buckets

 

[polara71]

That's the car I should modify to have fun with .

Yep, it needs white buckets... or at least a white interior and stay with the bench seat.

You are still a young man...

 

[polara71]

The bench in these cars are brutality uncomfortable. Especially for a tall person. The 71 was improved but still, once you've sat in the buckets, it's all over

He told me asking $8000

 

[polara71]

He told me asking $8000

So he came down 5 hundred.

I'm thinking it may be worth it

 

[Big_John]

That's what he was asking last year.

I think he decided he wasn't going to be able to sell that car in the winter and just took it off the market until now.

 

[polara71]

I thought it was 85 then ...


Wyatt.... ? Why are you sitting still

you want to put a 1971 dashboard in Dave?

 

[polara71]

you want to put a 1971 dashboard in Dave?

35 years ago that was the plan. Up until about 10 years ago that was the plan. Once I realized the rarity of the animal that thought went away.
Everything about it was to be 71. Now, I've got bigger fish to fry.

A reference to your previously mentioned move out west?

 

[polara71]

A reference to your previously mentioned move out west?

Yes Fred, that in particular and other things. Old cars are drifting away from me.

 

[mdh157]

Old cars are drifting away from me.

Well let your floor shift car drift over here, will ya?
Btw gents, the owner texted this morning. He seems motivated, so maybe it can be bought under 8k. Reasonable IMO for what Big John described.
