1968 1600, very rusty

[dbower]

Price: $1800

Location: Watkinsville GA 30677

Description:

1968 1600, VIN 1562579, manufactured January 18, 1968.  Originally Granada over black, slicktop.  I dragged this out of a field in rural Georgia just to save it from complete disintegration.  Some ownership history.  It has some valuable early trim parts but is too far gone for a restoration unless you are very committed and/or brave.  I have $1,800 in it and that's what I'm looking for. 

 

The good:

- embossed front beltline molding

- good grilles and kidneys

- straight nose

- no-headrest seats

- short bumpers

- remote brake booster

- flat steering wheel hub

- red choke knob

- early vinyl upholstery, decent

- matching number engine, cranks but won't start

- new starter

- 5 decent late steel wheels

 

The not-so-good:

- very rusty bottom

- no interior door handles

- cracked windshield

- no key

- awful black paint job

- and like I said, very rusty bottom

 

I don't have time/space to part the car out.  Buy the trim and get the car free.  Happy to provide more pics.  706.540.1166

If someone buys this to part out, hit me up.  Looking for 1600 parts for my restoration.

Very complete! Maybe someone from the Rust Belt will see it and view it as low rust! ?

If this car is parted out, I am interested in purchased the embossed front beltline molding.  Thanks

Yes if parted, there are a few items I'm interested in as well.

IMO between the trim and the grill there’s $2000.00

Buy the front trim piece and get the car for free as the seller stated.

Now THIS is a real project car!  Interesting shifter console.  I bought my 69 for $2750 in 2012- complete with seized engine.

Car may be headed to the CCA Foundation for their next  exhibit: "Where They Rust."  Or maybe not.  In any case, still available.  Somebody save this old girl.
