Since the Canadian dollar is improving that would only cost me about $5,000 at the current bid. Add about $2,000 to get it here and about $1,000 in taxes and fees and it is still well under the roughly $10,000 it would cost to buy here. It looks in outstanding condition and is exactly what I would want. I will watch closely over the next few days and if the total stays under that magic $10K mark I may just register and bid!
I hadn't really bee watching any sites lately so appreciate the heads up on this one.

Looked them up and if he is only asking $30K he is way cheap! Anything at all half decent seems to start at about $40K and they pretty much only go up from there.

@Tcoat, my buddy sold that GTX for 25k. The place I bought the Lotus had this. I thought you might like. (Sorry, I suck with phone camaras)

$25K? The bottom must have dropped out on the value of them right now (or it was in really bad shape). A couple of years ago a rotted out field car would sell for as much as $20K as long as it was still number matching and not a clone.


A Hemi Belvedere? Was never a big fan of the 64 body style but I could be swayed.


Is that a side pipe sticking out by the door? That is where my Coronet ones came out until I got sick of sucking fumes.

The GTX was in great shape. I was surprised he sold so low. He said it was in Craigslist for an hour.

I thought the Belvedere was a 65, but you know more about mopars than I do. Looked like it was setup for drag racing. I believe it even had a cage of some sort.


Edit: Found it on Autotrader. They want $65,950:

Could be. 63 to 65 all looked about the same really. Not until 66 when they went with the flatter sides was there any big changes. The 66 through 70 bodies are the years I like the styling of more than the older ones. The ones before 63 are just the most butt ugly cars to ever hit the production line.

It is a "custom" made car which as cool as everything in it is screams clone to me. Should I ever buy something like that (which as much as I would like I don't have a garage) it will never, ever, ever, be a clone. I hate clones.

Yep. Be extremely cool if anybody was looking for a dedicated drag car. Looks like the engine was done in 97 so there are all sorts of nice new goodies that could be added.
