1969 Non Op Florida 1600 - Make Offer

[1inhiding]

Price: $2000

Location: Issaquah WA

Description:

1969 Numbers Matching 1600 in Florida/Tan - Currently Non-op. The history on this car (as I know it) - I bought it ~5 and half years ago, it was non-op then, out of Oregon (see pics). I had grand plans to get it running - the head is currently off the block with new valves in it. I was young and ambitious and (probably) a bit stupid (I've wanted a NK since I was a kid). I think I may have even started a project thread on the old 2002faq boards.

 

 Let's start with the good.

 

Good - 

It's a numbers matching car

It's in a rare color - Florida!

Body is in decent shape, but see comments below

The head has new valves in it

Most all of the chrome, including the bumpers, is in great shape

It's currently registered in WA

The electrical system all worked when I tested it a while back

 

And the bad - 

It's non running (and I don't know when it last ran)

There is evidence of a rear end collision (looks like a replacement gas tank)

Rust - There are a couple of holes in the spare tire well, but the rockers, the floors, the pedal box and the shock towers are all in good shape.

The above mentioned issues with the body

The mount for the handbrake has broken off the body

The interior is beat up, including the door cards (see photos

I've removed some crappy radio and speakers that were installed and removed some of the carpeting from the front interior

 

I know I paid way too much for this car when I bought it with such grand ambitions. I'm open to offers - I'd really like to see this car go to someone who can take care of it, but I'm realistic The car is currently in my garage (where it has been the entire time I've owned it). As we're getting ready for a home remodel, it's tough to get pics from all angles, but I feel like I've been honest with the condition.

Florida! My #1 color period...DAMN.

 

...I'd a given a couple grand plus my left *** for that car.

 

I hope we get to see this car brought back to life right here on the FAQ

Car is already being resold on eBay. Less than a month, that was fast!

Sorry to see this. All I could go on was what the buyer told me. This is a punch in the gut for me...

The guy selling on eBay looks to be a professional Flipper! See his name and stuff he sells. 

Too bad it did not go to someone who would put it back together and enjoy it.

Damn x2. The original seller told me it was "going to a good home."  ARGH!

See my comment above. I spoke with the buyer on the phone for a good long while about the car and his interest in it...trust me, I already feel sh*tty enough...
