Very solid driver 68 Coronet Deluxe coupe ...Ultimate Super Bee clone car

I am selling a very solid 68 Coronet Deluxe V8 car. Its been off the road for about 10 years and could use some minor mechanical TLC. The transmission is leaking, front timing cover or pan is leaking oil. There is more noise than I like coming from the water pump and the gas guage is not working. It drives good and stops excellent. It does have a little play in the steering while driving. Its seems to be coming from the idle and or pitman arm.

The car has a driver quality repaint with a few minor scratches and dings like from being stored in a garage and mower geting to close or kid trying to push a bike by. The car has never been apart, never had any rust and has never been wrecked. Headliner, seat covers and carpet looks like they where replaced at one time. It is not the original materials the door panels look to be original and in very good shape.

The only thing close to rust in the car is the center of the trunk pan has a lot of surface rust and is a little scaley. I poked and prodded and was not able to pierce the metal with a small screwdriver.

The price is $7800.00 firm and from the feedback I am getting I don't expect it to last long. There are over 100 pictures in this link

Compared to the otherwise very ordinary Bee that was at a Carlisle show a couple years back with a $20g price tag, this is a great car.

Did I mention the Bee at Carlisle had lost a battle with a telephone pole or tree, right in the driver's door? 383/4-speed and low options, nothing at all special about it. The damage was bad enough rebodying would have been the most cost-effective option. It would for sure have been a total even when the car was new.
