Cool, leave the paint alone and just give it a good cleaning, looks like the 'wild '70's'!

I agree with everyone else and would just clean it up and drive it. A car can be restored at any point, but once it has been restored, it will never be a survivor. That car is groovy and it has a great history. I would still think the value would be somewhere in the $40-$50K range. Thanks for the pictures and start talking to your friend to see if you can get him down on the price.

I've got to DEFINITELY agree with the majority here...bring that thing to the Reunion! Heck, don't even worry about cleaning it up...I will volunteer, and I can just about bet their would be some other by-standers who would jump at the chance. The only thing I might do is put the L-72 together and drop it in, but that's just me!
Now, just some observations. Is it me, or is that a 390/427 resting in the engine bay? I noticed the orange intake, but was stumped as to what it was, because of the temp sending unit location. But then, I noticed something: the heater hoses are blocked off! Then, the location of the fuel filter was the final clue. Also, it looks like the air cleaner snorkel has been hacked off, which like the blocked of heater hoses, is nothing new to racers. It just adds to the cool factor that this car reeks of! Another question: where exactly are you located in Michigan? I will hopefully be up that direction in early September for the Pure Stock Drags. |

The motor thats in it now,was pulled out of a 69 Impala wagon(and painted/different cam,before he installed it),and is suppose to be a 427/335 hp....I believe it was suppose to be original and a one owner car...so it should be the 335 hp,but I didn't look at the numbers...to be positively sure,as I seen it was an oval port,and didn't think it could be any thing to great.
And the snorkel,looked like it could be put back on,no prob....but,I didn't didn't ask if he still had it,sounded like he keep most things he remover,so he might have it yet. I live near Mt.Plesant,MI.....so I'm only about 30 miles form the Pure Stock Drags....and will see ya there,if ya make it up this way. |

TC:
BE SURE and look me up around the second week of September, as I plan a pilgrimage to Stanton every year. I know of a couple of Berger cars being restored that we could probably take a peek at, and could probably find some done cars if I looked hard enough. Heck, bring your car over and make some passes...that way you can have it all tuned up and ready to go for the following weekend (hint ![]() |
