70 Townsman LS-5 Documented

[Draginwagon]

Not a problem,
I don't like being refered to as a dealer, and as I have every car registered, and believe it or not the Only state I can't finance in is Rhode Island, my own state, I am a collection.
It works well. Every dealer I have ever seen describes thier cars as show pieces and when I see "Highly Detailed" and look and find an engine compartment that looks like a 10 year old Hundai I cringe.
On the wagon, the restoration costs alone exceed the asking price, it is also documented by it's original buildsheet as an LS-5, plain jane. And I have yet to see another.
Like I say, sooner or later someone will come along. Just look at what Big Block wagons have sold for at auction latelty.
The Townsman is Correct, Documented, and sharper than hell.
And even better is when I whoop some guy in a Roadrunner, since I hook up while he's spinning.
And I can do it all while I have 10 bags of groceries...
Damn...
I forgot the Milk.
Anyway
everyone has an opinion, I get touchy when I see dealer after dealer passing off un-documented cars that have been detailed with a can of chassis black and a set of excel wires.
Detailed means researched, and correctly imitating what the factory delivered back in the day.
By the way.
Love the Low Mileage Judge. i have always been a sucker for low mileage cars. The wagon has 61,000.
That's a fair amount of groceries.

I imagine that is also a fair amount of 1/4's.

Brian...What ever happened to the very low mileage 69 SS Chevelle, green with a white vinyl, that you had for sale a few years back? It was supposed to be untouched, all original, but I did some background on it and found out the engine had been rebuilt, the a-frames chromed at one time, and some other stuff. Were you a Dealer back then? Good luck with the Wagon.

Hi Tony,
No, I was not a dealer then, I helped a friend sell his car. Nasty divorce etc...
The car sold and went to Long Island. The original owner had taken the front end apart when it had about 16,000 miles, Chromed the a-frames, pulled the motor and was going to Hot Rod it. Then, as the commercial says', Life came at him hard. My friend found out about the car, and he put it back together.
It was not that the car was untouched, but due to the 21,000 original miles, it had certain features that could not be replicated such as the textured steering wheel that had no wear marks. That was because the wheel came off the car at new and the original owner put on a wood wheel.
The new owner is very happy with it, though my friend got into a nasty set of problems with his Ex when he sold it.
Such is life.
By the By, names Rich...
