This video is from 2017. It was meant to try to sell the car. I'm posting it because I really like the car. I'm sure it's sold by now.

I had a buddy with one. It was a 4 speed. 440 C.I. Too much to handle.
My H.S. Buddy bought this Model, mainly because the seller showed him a speeding ticket for going 151 MPH.
A speeding ticket for 151 mph just means it was still too slow to avoid getting pulled over.
I do wonder how it runs on the swill ethanol gas today. no way I could run by old 427/435hp Corvette, Had trouble with some 1969 gas.
Practically perfect.
I had a 69 roadrunner,built 440 and TCI torqueflite.Car would run 11.60s.I always thought that the car was waiting for the right moment to kill me.
I was just in HS but a guy I worked with had one similar to this. THen he traded it in for a new Dodge Super Bee Sixpack a year or so later. But because his wife couldn’t drive a stick, both had automatics. Which seemed to the rest of us like a huge waste...but I see the same here. Still very nice cars and I guess we’ve outgrown the clutch-popping rubber burning days (not that this couldn’t burn rubber as is!)
A kid in high school had a GTX. He pulled up in front of a friend’s house, so we walked out. He hit the gas, car just sat there rear wheels spinning, no forward movement...but because of the sideways slope of the road, the rear-end started drifting towards the road shoulder. The kid finally let off the gas. Tire smoke cloud was huge. Probably burned 5000 miles off his rear tires.
I was impressed.
Lol! At least $10k! I agree. The stripes on the hood should be flat black, not glossy black.
I actually didn’t watch the bid yet. Didn’t have time earlier
It looked like it would be good. Was he a loudmouth type?
Beauty AND power.
During the drive he was constantly yammering about his business selling cars. i just wanted to listen to the car, which he never opened up.
Sorry, I figured they would have been talking about the car while showing it.
I still try and recall the intake howl from my 427 and wanted to hear this beast eat. You certainly could not hear the exhaust over the intake sound on mine.
Sixty grand for a rotisserie restoration. Not bad. The guy could have shut the f*ck up and driven the car so that you could see and hear how it runs instead of puttering around the industrial park and yammering like a junior high school girl. If it was a hemi, it would probably be buck and a quarter to buck and a half. Could have bought one of these new between WestPac cruises. Damn.
