'69 H/O on Evilpay?
Item number 250807494281 in the description the guy states the engine and trann is matching numbers and the car is all original. But then he states the original "mortor" broke a ring 22 years ago. However later in the description it states that it has a 71 "442"
in it? Interior looks nice except for the aftermarket radio that I hope he didn't butcher the dash to install. Overall it seems to be a solid car considering what they could realize at auction in restored condition. But as far as just putting 10-15 k like he states, it would probably be closer to twice that. Any thoughts?

There sure have been a lot of '69 H/Os on Ebay the past several weeks, considering only a little over 900 were built a whopping 42 years ago. They all seem like legit cars too.

FWIW
According to Kurt Karch [The 69 H/O advisor for the OCA] There are probably about 500 left on the planet.
He [and I] believe of those 500 or so left there are more a/c cars than non a/c cars.
Because
a] They weren't as likely to be raced/crashed and b] Because the non a/c cars were most likley to be sold up north where the salted winter roads take their toll.

. I would figure that with a car worth as much as this, he could at least spell and or know what a 455 is. IMHO. Just sayinScot

For all the work this car needs, I'd start well below 30K to buy it. In fact, I have tried (previous high bidder on ebay--reserve not met), but the owner wants high 40's. Too much (IMHO), unless you can do everything yourself.
