I'm not a construction engineer but this setup looks sketchy. Half the supports up to the roof are perched midway between the columns, and that steel looks like it is 4", although it might be 6". It's hard to tell if it was a barn that got chopped up and skinned in metal, or a metal building...

That's would be tempting if I wasn't so disciplined about avoiding trouble.

Both bumpers are slightly twisted. Passenger front corner, drivers rear corner. Poor paint coverage behind drivers front bumper corner. Body side molding inserts are missing and painted black. Front seats are incorrect but at least back seat recovered to match. This is the only improvement I...

Seems like they are being more realistic and now auctioning it, albeit the reserve might be that ridiculous $29,500.

Thanks for the correction. I will use my newly-corrected AMC knowledge whenever applicable. Actually, it's been so long since needing AMC info, that's why I don't remember it correctly.

Why not be both? :) @68PK21 440.6bbl I think 'Twin Spin' is AMC's term for a limited-slip differential.

Yes, for the $$$ it would take to do just an 80% job on one of those, you could surely find some RTG cars to pick from. They don't pop up often, but a year-long search would surely bring 1 or 2 worthwhile prospects.

Ha. If I had your money I'd burn mine. :lol: I agree with the King of Data. :thumbsup:

There's a 69 Polara available in post #1. :) $4500 without the multi-car discount.

That's the best rear bumper I've ever seen on a $1900 car. Front bumper looks decent too, just can't tell if it's as nice as the rear one.

It looks like a decent car, but this spot in teh paint jumped out at me. Then I noticed most of the body pics are in shadows and/or far from teh car. It should have eyeballs on it to make sure the paint isn't hiding a lot of flaws. It looks either like original paint, or a poor-quality re-spray...

If they had time to put those wheels/tires on it they had time to fix the exhaust leak. Must've been stored with a lot of moisture changes, the underhood shows a lot of tarnishing. Esp rearward of the fendertag - I've never seen surface rust like that in that location before.

This^. If you're gonna make it so pretty that one's enjoyment must be limited to only looking at it, buy some art.

I think that'd be a good buy at $7500 or so due to it needing expensive bodywork and paint. Great colors. Rust-free, new seatcovers in a matching color that look like they were properly done. Change the hood if you must, get a replacement rear bumper, and it would be no different than similar...

I want to make some sort of comment on that.

And now at a broker for 15k...

For future reference, in case we see it again: Per my memory of it last time for sale, it has a TON of rust bubbles below the rear glass, under the vinyl and in the dutchman. Back then it was a decent car for the price, but definitely one that required a gameplan/goal before dumping a lot of...

Well that honeymoon didn't last long. Those are the same pics from the previous sale, so presumably no changes have been made to the car. I saw a lot of detail issues last time I looked at the ~200 BaT pics. The front wheellip trim is stick-on plastic chrome. And other stuff. All in all, it...

That looks like a decent car for the money. Good colors. 68 Newport is on the shortlist of cars where I like both the front and rear styling treatments, and hte 4dr hardtop is pretty sleek.

This car was more realistic when it was for sale for ~12k or so by the prior seller a few years ago. It had the same peeling paint and worn/incorrect seats back then. Seeing the cracked/peeling dashpad, multi-cracked steering wheel, the warped doorpanel corner, the windlace that's pulling apart...
