Current bid $3,550 reserve not met, 14 bids. 5 days left in auction. Buy it now price $5,995. Car now located in Newport Beach, California.

Sellers description:
Early 1968 model Barn-Find, basically a series 1-1/2 with a series 1 dash and some other early transition components. It is 99% complete and it features RARE factory Power Steering and Air Conditioning! The original color was Regency Red.

The engine was supposedly running when parked, you know the story. The good news is that it is complete and oil has been poured into the cylinders...maybe it will free up OK. This car is not a California car and is rusty. Although the sub-frame and floors are in good shape, be prepared for some extensive patch panel work after you dip it. It looks like some kid years ago went bananas with a few gallons of Bondo and primer in order to make a driver. Looks like he went way overboard with the Bondo. Anyway, it rolls along fine on 4 fairly dry rotted Michelin Red-Line tires so it will be easy to transport. Again, this is not a light project, this beauty needs a frame off restoration to bring it back, and it should be brought back!

The VIN is P1R26767, which we think indicates a 1969 sale date...the plot thickens... Also, not sure if bonnet is original to car.
