Better rush. The CL ad has been up for 16 hours... (link courtesy @1968Fever)

PS: Hope someone gets the tag for records

Radiator looks awfully small for a 440...

 

[Marv]

Am I missing something here? Yes the 70 GT is a very rare and highly coveted and it has a console and seems to be unmolested and numbers matching
but I don´t see why this should be gone in a heartbeat at 22k.
One can always debate about triple green cars, some like it some don´t. This one will require extensive work and money to be invested.
@JPMODL had a 70 GT for sale earlier this year in mint condition only asking 4K more. See here
Comparing these two cars there´s no way I see 22k for this specimen

It should be a non-ac 22”, pn 2998969.

Gotta start somewhere.

I honestly don't know why you'd put OBO in an ad. Isnt that really a given?

You put that in the ad because you know you’re asking too much but are motivated to sell.

Understood...
But everyone who's not dead knows you offer less than asking. If for some crazy reason you are firm then you put firm.

I am wondering if the engine is original, should be blue for a T-Code 440.

Yea I guess I'm jaded as having 440 cop cars that they all had the big radiator, My 1976 Gran Fury Brougham had a 360ci and A/C so big radiator, same for the 1968 Fury III 318 with A/C. Only little radiator that I can remember was my 1968 Fury Fastop without A/C and a 318 in it.

You would think being a GT it would have a big radiator with the 440.

[Davea Lux]

22" radiator was standard on cars without A/C. This SFGT is low optioned, manual drum brakes, no A/C. Rotted rear window channel and lower quarters, missing under dash trim panel. Trunk floor is also likely very rusty. Appears to also have rust on the roof seams and the lower part of the front fenders. There is no way this car is accurately priced at $22k.

The issue with the SFGT in the ad is that it is priced as a solid #2 car which it clearly is not. At $22k it should be road ready with no rust and passable paint. There is well in excess of $20k worth of rust repair, paint and interior work to get this car to the asked for price and that is before any talk of other mechanical repairs.
If that is your SFGT posted with the no pain no gain comment it looks beautiful.

Yea you would think for that price the seller would include one of these as your going to need it!

[Samplingman]

Price dropped to $20k now.

The 22” rad was standard issue in the 6BBL GT as well.
