Does anyone know anything material to the 1970 SX convertible, highly optioned, advertised on ebay? The seller has a 20K buy price. Trim tag shows original color 28A. Seller disclosed he has the original transmission and the engine is a 1972 long block with "G" heads. Further stated E heads are for sale additionally. Seller has owned car for ten years and describes the car as a very nice driver with a great color combination. Seller describes little rust if car is to be repainted on the lower quarter panels and doors.


Any help will be appreciated. I think the car sells tomorrow around this time.


Thank you,

It would help if you provided the link.

Check out this thread and see if it's the same car:

If it is the same car mentioned above...

Wrong hood and the "SX" badges not in proper location. This means that the fenders have probably been replaced along with the hood. This is a good indication of a significant front end collision. I would ask about this for sure.

Also, a New Jersey built car living in Chicago. Likely much more rust than meets the eye.

Hole in bumper below license plate..indicates it probably had a trailer hitch. Transmission issues?

Reproduction door panels need replacing.

A/C is not working. (needs to be converted and checked!?!)

Non-original engine and trans. No guarantee it is an SX.

"Desirable" power door locks? on a convertible? is that really a desirable option?

Look how dried up and brittle the weatherstrip is in the trunk..and the engine compartment rubber too.

Truly a beautiful color combination and the dual gate and cruise are very nice options.

It's currently almost $15k. I think one could do a lot better for the money. (see the recent sale of the Green 71 Cutlass convertible 4-speed for around $15k)

If you can't see it in person, I would not take that risk.

...just my opinion
