Even had that rare '68 air cleaner detail. Must be a 'late' '67? smile

An Oregon car shipped back to Indiana by the looks of it. Got rust issues unfortunately but still worth it if you can get it for less than $9k.

Anyone notice the rear fold down. Looks like someone morphed a 67 and 68 seat together The latch is added, 67's didn't have a latch just two clips. The front fender emblems are 69 ones too, fat at the bottom.

Looks like the hood was stored upright on it's rear tips. Those look shredded.

You guys did see in the listing that the engine caught fire...
The front clip I would assume is not worth anything. You can see the heat damage on hood, grille etc.

Not to mention heat damage to the air con unit. Standard interior with all those options. No pics of the engine. Looks like no hood hinges.
All caps for description. No documents to say for sure its number match. Better look at this one first guys.

Agreed, you have to do your own research. There are pics of the rebuilt engine but who knows what the quality is. Unless you can run it ... you cannot value the engine much more than $500.

I paid $9k for my 400, but it drives down the street! My car has a few less of the other options (electric windows, tilt, etc.). My car needs restoration too.

The 400, 4speed, AC combination is hard to find. Did they make 4speeds w/ air in '68 & '69?

I couldn't find any comps other than this one when I was looking for my car: Barret Jackson

The car that's up for sale makes me nervous because it can't be driven, which makes the whole drive train questionable.

I think it could be a safe car to invest in, and if you're careful, you could make every penny back that you put into it.
