No I don't. Not aware of it at all. I see why you are asking.

I can try to go see it if you'd like. I'm heading on a two week camping trip on Monday but I could try to see it before that. Let me know.

I am not a player, but was just curious if you had any knowledge of this one.

Sure beats that project for $25k!

The price is actually too good to be true.
The interior and the paint above look very good. But I wonder what is hidden in the trunk and on the chassis. The place under the Pentastar doesn’t suggest anything good, as does the front and rear valence.
It remains exciting ...

HOSE, HOSE, & HOSE.... but no engine bay pic

A buyer would need to inspect underneath for salt corrosion. Keep in mind the other project was CDN$.

The price is low for a reason

The Hurst doesn't look bad on the surface, and is priced reasonably IMO compared to the other ones.
The fiberglass on the deck lid doesn't look to have separated yet, the buckets look like they're still in tact. At least they aren't ripped up, and may just need to have the seams re-stitched, which would be a lot cheaper than buying new covers from Legendary. Those front & rear valances can be found pretty easy doing an internet search. All in all it looks like a complete car. Too bad no engine pics were posted in the ad.
If I was in the market, I'd be talking to the seller.

Looked again; it's missing all of the lower trim on the passenger side. Could be difficult to find.

There was a set of 1970 300 rocker mouldings at Carlisle this year. I think the asking price was $125. They had some scrapes, but didn't look terrible.

There was also an NOS front valence, but no price tags on that seller's stuff.

I would have picked that up had I seen it. I couldn't do too much walking this year, I should have gotten that scooter.

 

[Samplingman]

I was in bad shape towards the end of the day. I almost called my wife to pick me up on the show field, LOL.

Yeah, it happens to the best of us.

 

[MrMoparCHP]

For years I wanted one of these but after joining this forum they have lost their appeal.

Those sightings were made before lunch on Friday. I have no idea if any of that sold, and if so, when.

That was the first set of '70 300 rocker trim that I recall seeing in a long time.

The license plate sequence number suggests it was plated for the first time in California within the last 6 months. I am not sure what that implies but a car having spent 44 years in Michigan with just over 100K miles on it, the listing should show clearly some photos of the underside in some detail so as to evaluate the real overall condition of it. Also, missing the lower sill molding suggests possible repairs there and elsewhere. It clearly has been stored inside most of its existence but while doing so I wonder whether the salt still kept eating away at the underside.

The top side fiberglass panels certainly do look really good and the interior is way above average, especially for having just rolled over according to the odomter. There isn't even a hint of a bulge in the center of the decklid like most of these have by now, so it hasn't seen much sun and/or the torsions bars for that decklid were released from their slots completely, thereby providing no assist for the decklid.
