Not Mine-A Matador! $8500

[fins2fuselage]

No I did not buy it. I have the guys number. I put my Fury for sale so I could get that car. So far only got an offer to trade for a 66 Thunderbird.

I like that fast-top Fury of yours; if you can't get the Matador, I hope you don't sell it.

Yep; I mentioned that to you months ago when you were having carburetor problems.

I had forgotten about that. Sorry. Carb still isn’t perfect but I am leaving well enough alone for now. Working on suspension.

I thought this car had been sold. Guy just texted me and price is now $6k. Fuel pump not working.

That fuel pump saves someone 25-hundred.bucks.

That fuel pump saves someone 25-hundred.bucks.

His exact words were that it runs if he pours gas in the carb but not otherwise. He thinks fuel pump, but I wonder if he could have clogged pickup screen, hole in fuel line, etc. Fuel pump would be a simple fix. Not sure about the rest of the car. If I sell my Fury, I can go look at his car.

 

[Joseph James]

Going to look at it tomorrow. Will take lots of photos.

The seller will not be home. He told me to go over the car as much as I want to. I am going squeeze as much as I can underneath and look at everything. If I don’t like it, I will hang on to my Fury.

@Joseph James Did you end up buying this or ??

No. Major rust where roof meets windshield. It was dripping snow melt in the headliner. Plus, I have to sell my Fury first. I went and looked at it, though.

Can't know until you look at it, all part of the hunt.
