Hmmm well first, it's a 351W car, not a 428SCJ.

Customization done by previous owner. Easily removed generally means living with holes and damage to many stock parts to anyone who has read for sale ads and gone to see the cars. Like all the 'no rust' cars I've seen with holes in the floor, frame rails, and torque boxs. Sure no rust they could see... People get cynical after awhile.

This means to me that metal in the trunk was cut,drilled and altered. More for the next owner to set right if he doesn't share your idea of what is nice.

Signs of even more hacking to set right.

The problem is mods like many of the ones you've done work *AGAINST* the value of the car, not for it. And you're asking top dollar for a 351W 2bbl car. Also, you don't give vital info, like the vin and body tag info.

Basically it's pretty clear who ever buys this car has alot to set straight or modify to his own tastes. $22K can buy a nice, restored to stock 351 mach1 without worrying about damage due to various modifications, non orginal engine, etc and so forth.

Basically, I would pass on this car, the asking price is way higher than my offer would be so it wouldn't be worth the time to investigate. Especially take the risk buying sight unseen. My guess is others feel similiarly.

And I don't what shows it would be an 'instant winner' in, but certainly none of the kind Bill S was/is a judge for. (least I recall him doing that)

Well, IMHO, you probably did not get any "takers" because you are asking top dollar for a car in *original* condition - which your vehicle is obviously not. You will quickly realize that not everyone shares your taste in modifications - these mods typically *lower* the value of the vehicle. I would suggest lowering the price or returning the car to original if you want to try to get the $22K price.

Way Way overpriced!

It leans too much towards a restomod that's been riced up, and too far away from a strict numbers matching restoration that would draw the price you want. Now it's got all those holes in it where you've hung the bling bling. The "minor engine repair" scares the hell out of me when there's no further explanation. Sight unseen, that takes $5000 off right there. I'm looking for a '69 mach 1 at present and your price is out of line.

Well I followed the advice on his website "but take it from me GET A CAR the WAY you want it.. " I don't need to pay 22K for a pimpmobile and then begin to strip all that crap he added on off. Most that blue light crap is illegal for on the road anyway.

What makes you think that a "kid" has 22K laying around to buy this heap?

Your right it did. It screamed PimpMobile ;loud & clear.

Gotta a big haired Ho to go with it?

The kind that they have over at the Local A&W stand. Doubt he would win though. No hydraulics to go with the bling-bling, it blinks but doesn't bounce. What a waste of good iron. Shame he decided to crap it all up.

bwoop bwoop, that ass too fat!

Given current mach 1 values, if it's a real mach, and it isn't as bad as it could be (ie no need to replace vital sheet metal that has been hacked for the pimp job), and since it comes with all the original stuff that was removed, if the paint/body looks good in person, and it's clean underneath like a texas car should be, then I would consider it at ~$10K. It could then be fixed into a nice driver and not loose money on it.

Of course it isn't as bad as that pimped BOSS 302 from awhile back.

Agreed 10K would be a much more reasonable price.

Got me on that one. What a POS that was. If I had the money I would have bought it and burned it in front of the guy.
