That puppy is a 1/4 inch thick!

I like the brown car, looks like it could be a good project...

I looks to be aluminum, that would explain the thickness. Aluminum exhaust pipes need to be thicker to withstand the prolonged exposure to high heat without cracking.

[jackboxxx]

hmmmm

did this guy screw up the vin # or ?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/71-Da...QQcmdZViewItem

but the vin # would indicate a 03/70 build date....wouldnt it? not a 71.

rear vents and side markers also indicate a 70....

[lonetreesteve]

Yes, you're right...the guy did screw up!

[KDMatt]

Hrm... the Orangeish 240 in Reno looks promising... then again I've always been a sucker for those 5-slot "Appliance" wheels.

[lonetreesteve]

Yeah, I agree the '71 in Reno looks to be the best of the lot. The '70 in Phoenix (first one) looks pretty well intact and rust-free, just needs some wheels & tires...not bad for 99 cents! :classic:

That one looks nice, but I bet it will sell for $1,000 if not more a week from now when the auction ends. I'm guessing there's no title since it says it's not street legal. Good parts car I suppose.

[Fun_in_my_z]

You can get a title on the car, you just have to go to the revanue office, get a form to fill out and mail it to the Dmv. They will send a policeman to verify everything and run a check on the car. After that their is a 30 day wait, then they mail you your new title

[lonetreesteve]

The first one, located in Arizona, looks to be pretty solid (floor pans look good, etc) and a good candidate for restoration:
