Saw this while perusing CL. Not mine, but it is within a few miles of me so if anyone is SERIOUSLY interested in it I could go take a look if needed.

This is an Idaho barn find. Very rare. This car is a 2-owner, 400 Cubic Inch, 350 Horsepower automatic with factory AC, PS, PB, AM radio. Unmolested and never hotrodded complete with original wheel covers and posi-traction rear end. Car needs a restoration (I have too many projects), but is a complete car and won't nickle and dime you to death. Engine turns over but I have not tried starting it yet. Doesn't appear that the engine was ever touched on this car. It sat in a barn for over 20 years so it's dusty with some surface rust but is overall very solid. I'd put a drivers floor section in it and a trunk section (same as 66/67 Chevelle), but other than a couple very small spots on the quarter panels, the car is very nice and easily restored. Rear window is not rotted out like most 66 GM cars! Frame is super solid. Comes with a clear Idaho title and the original Owner's Manual with Protect-o-Plate. A couple pieces of side trim are dented but I have the replacement parts that go with the car. Rear bumper is dented, but note how nice the Grille and front bumper are. We're just south of Missoula. I can store the car for a while and can trailer it to Missoula for pickup if needed. A super summer project.

 

Looks basically solid and very complete. Good candidate for restoration.

Looks like a 4 Spd console when the ad says it's an automatic? Just curious.

 

It would be a great project. I got a kick out of this statement "Car needs a restoration (I have too many projects), but is a complete car and won't nickle and dime you to death".

 

Do we have any starry eyed 12 or 13 yer olds on this site with $9,000 ? It does seem like a reasonable price, but restoring anything means CASH.....probably not nickles and dimes, but $10's and $100's.

 

It's not even three hours from my son in Great Falls. Too bad it's only two pedals.
And Craigslist posting is now deleted.

 

That's a '64-6 automatic console.
