This is a genuine survivor with 40k miles and original paint. I bought this car a couple years ago from the second owner, who bought it in '76 from a street racer in Iowa. He drove it to high school then put it in storage in the 80's. In 2012 he put it back on the road and I bought the car.
Its originally an H-code Mach I, not a Boss. The racer guy added 4bbl heads, intake, Crower cam, headers and a close ratio RUG-AZ toploader from a 429 Mustang. There's also a 4.56:1 traction lok axle. Previous owner described the engine as "built to Boss 351 specs". It runs strong, pulls hard and sounds much better than a stock 351 Cleveland.
Unfortunately, I've driven it less than 100 miles since purchase - For my taste, its too much of a hotrod to drive daily, but I didn't want to de-tune it since that's a large part of its history. I never have the time to make a special cruise-in or cars and coffee trip with it.
Body wears its original medium copper paint, but part of the right rear quarter and part of a fender were repainted in the late 70's. No signs of rust damage. (it was heavily ziebarted back in the day). There's a scratch in front fender and a couple small dings. Overall its an incredible original body.
Interior is a mix of black and tan - previous owner liked it that way. I have a black full length console but its not shown in the pics.
Wheels are original Magnum 500, not repro. Real vintage auto-meter gauges, traction bars, finned valve covers, chrome fender braces, trunk mount battery, accel coil, and aluminum carb plate added in the 70's/80s. Not stuff that's been added on recently to doll it up.
Gas tank and fuel pump are new, tires are a few years old.
Issues it has:
gas gauge and dash lights don't work.
center gauges were added by previous owner but not wired up. (in pics those the dash is loose because I was tinkering with them)
speedometer cable melted against the header pipe - will need replaced.
brakes are fair - will probably need fresh pads and turn rotors since its been sitting.
incorrect carpet and package tray
Today I got it out to drive around the block and the carb started flooding, but I'll have that resolved soon.
Located in Cincinnati, Ohio 45206 (east side of town). Asking $16,500 OBO. 513-3I4-762O
I do have a stock '72 351C 2bbl driveline with FMX trans and 2.75 axle, and a '73 wide ratio toploader that are available for additional cost if the buyer is interested in restoring or making the car more streetable.
