The flowing information is long and detailed if you still have interest!

WHO YOU ARE BUYING FROM:  My name is Ron Watson and I live in the small town of Athens, Tennessee “Athens is called the friendly city”. We are located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in east Tennessee. I am 67 years old and work with my son Keith who is now 41. I am now retired and living my dream restoring, selling and improving classic cars. For 12 years I was an auto mechanics instructor at Tennessee Technology Center here in Athens. I am also a veteran of the US Army; I served as a Chinook helicopter mechanic, crew chief and instructor in the late 60s, I did spend a year in Vietnam.  I’m Southern Baptist faith and proud to be an American.  I’ve been married to the same good woman for 44 years. LIFE IS GOOD IN THE GREEN HILLS OF EAST TENNESSEE!

WILL I SELL THE CAR OFF EBAY MOTORS? Yes, I know the lots of you are not registered on ebay and use it as a research tool.

MY REAL PRICE IS $24,800.That's what it takes to buy the car on or off ebay motor. I have been doing this for a long time and I know the game, I don't play it the same as most and I sell every car I put for sell.

PLEASE NO TRADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Thank you, but I will not trade, why should I trade when I have a hot selling car, I don't need motor cycles, boats, jewelry or your used false teeth.

I DO NOT SHOW CARS ON SUNDAY!!!!! I worship on sunday, I spend time with my family and I rest. I'm doing this because I love it, "I need a day off". I will be happy to show you cars 6 days a week, call in advance to set up a time, "I'm 67 years old and life is more than just cars".

Sorry, but I do not do videos. I'm old and don't want to learn and mess with them, I sell my cars anyway. 

IS THERE ANY RUST PROBLEMS?    The underside looks good, but not sanded smooth and detailed for show. The frame, supports and bottom panels all look very good to me.

IS THERE ANY ACCIDENT DAMAGE?  None that I can find and the title states none.

WHY AM I SELLING THIS CAR?     I’m a retired mechanic/auto-mechanic instructor/was a Army helicopter mechanic and instructor. When I find a truck or car I like for a good price I buy it fix things and resell for a fair profit. I did not restore this car, I just fixed a few things.

IS THIS A MATCHING NUMBERS CAR? No! The engine is now upgraded to a truck 454 cubic inch that runs sweet and strong. I have read that truck engines are 4 bolt mains, not 2 bolt, thicker bore area and higher nickel content in the block.

 PAINT:    The paint is shinny, the car is straight when you look down the sides, the panel fit is pretty good, no runs, the doors close  good, no dents, no rust bubbles.  It looks like LaMans blue, this is a medium blue with lots of metallic. The Super Sport stripe on the nose looks good. I consider this a very nice paint job to drive on the street.

CHROME:      The chrome and bright work is nice, bumpers look real good, the stainless is good, the emblems good, the worst thing I see is pits in the tail light bezels.

INTERIOR:   No smoke smell, the seat covers are good, the carpet good, the door panels good, the headliner good and the dash pad good, the seat belts are faded. I do see just a little waviness in the bottoms of the front seats.

RADIO: None. The car has the radio delete plate, but it does have some speakers form past years.

IS THIS A REAL SUPER SPORT CAR? I don't think so, but it looks like one.

UNSERSIDE:    Solid, but not painted shinny to put mirrors under at the car show.

GLASS:    The side glasses roll up and down good and look good, the windshield is clear, the back window has some very minor scuffs.

ENGINE:    Engine runs very strong, I don't think you will complain about power. The engine has been upgraded to a 454 cubic inch. The engine code is 3999289, that out of a early 70s truck. I have read that the truck engine are good, most were 4 bolt mains, high nickel content and thicker bore area. The intake is by Edelbrock and the carburetor is a Holley 4 barrel.

EXHAUST SYSTEM:  Good used condition, the mufflers are by Flow Master.

TRANSMISSION:   It is a 4 speed manual with no bad growls or whines. The shifter is Hurst and works pretty good, the only rear thing I have noticed is on down shift its sometimes hard to go into 3rd gear. The clutch and pressure plate feel good with no slip and no chatter.

REAR-END:     It has no bearing noises, no growls, its a 12 bolt non posi with a sway bar and traction bars.

BRAKES:  Drums all around and they are not power.

STEERING:   The cars drives very good, it is power steering.

WHEELS AND TIRES:      New Boss wheels and new tires, the fronts are 17 inch and the rear 18 inch.

LIGHTS:     They work, turn signals work, headlights work, tail lights work, brake lights work, dome light is working.

GUAGES:   Gas gauge works and the others are in a pod under the dash

WIPERS WORK! HEATER BLOWER WORKS! HORN NOT WORKING!

HOW DO THE DOORS AND HOOD OPEN AND CLOSE and panel fit?    I think the doors fit and open very good, the trunk is up some due to tight rubber, the hood fits good for a after market cowl hood.

WOULD I DRIVE THE CAR HOME ON A LONG TRIP: I never recommend driving a old car home, I just test drive them and drive them some around town, but I do think this car would drive anywhere.

DID I RESTORE THIS CAR? No!

 TRADES: Please no trades, they never work out and are just to hard!

**************I DO NOT SHOW CARS ON SUNDAY AND I'M HARD TO GET ON THE PHONE, PLEASE EMAIL ON SUNDAY!**************

CONTACT INFO: my cell is 423-506-8987, I do not answer when driving, while meeting with people, after about 8:00 PM Eastern Time or on Sunday. Please leave a voice mail and I’ll get back. I do check my emails several times a day.

     cell    423-506-8987     email:  dreamcar@live.com

PAPERWORK: I know what to do! WE DO NOT HAVE A SHOW ROOM WITH OVERHEAD! We are just a father/son 2 man operation, but we are a Tennessee licensed/bonded car dealer and have sold cars all over the US and exported many.

THIS IS NOT AN AUCTION, THIS IS A FIXED PRICE LISTING: I reserve the right to stop the listing at any time and sale the vehicle “come look”.

I RESERVE TH RIGHT TO STOP THE LISTING AT ANY TIME. THE CAR IS FOR SALE ON THE LOCAL MARKET.

WHERE THE CAR IS LOCATED:  The car is here at my garage in Athens, Tennessee. Athens is in east Tennessee, we are 50 miles south of  Knoxville. Look at a Road Atlas and follow interstate 75 south from Knoxville. I live one mile and one turn from the interstate exit. My zip code is 37303. The closest large airport is Knoxville. Athens does have a good small airport, but has no commercial flights.

US OR EXPORT "Nations Auto Transport" is located in the Kansas City area: This is a good company that will handle any type of transport in the US or overseas.

   Call Jim Page....his work number is 816-295-6887 and his email is jpage@shipnat.com

MY AREA CODE FOR TRANSPORT: The area code for Athens, Tennessee is 37303. I live 1 mile off a major interstate (I-75) and 35 miles south of interstate 40,  so transport is usually very fast.

PAYMENT: I require a $250 deposit for a Buy Now or to hold the car. I will take this by PayPal, but not full payment.

         Option 1: Pay the old school way with green face to face.

         Option 2: Pay by check, I will wait till the most checks clear, I have had

                     a fake bank certified check.  I will take a bank cashiers check with lots of

                     identification and advance notice so I can check you out.                                                                

         Option 3: The safest is to let our banks handle it, my bank is a

                           member of the US Federal Reserve, this is called wire

                        transfer. I will not give out my banking information until I get your information.

INSPECTIONS: Please come look and be happy. All inspections are required to be done before the end of the listing. I listed this car as I see it as a 67 year old car restorer, please come and judge it for your self. I judge the car to my standards, this may not be yours. Paid inspectors are OK, but have to be very critical to cover their back sides, "come look". I understand how hard it is to buy a car without looking, but I think you should come look yourself.  I don’t like paid inspectors, I like for the person that is buying to inspect for themselves. I think its fine to send a friend to inspect for you. To make it clear, don’t hit the buy now button and then inspect, come inspect first, I will not stop the listing and wait for a inspector!

TRADES: Please no trades!

I do not finance cars! If your going to finance, get pre-approved.

BOTTOM LINE:    My price is really $24,800, I am firm and asking more on the local market. The game is not rocket science, ask a price and come down, but I don't like that game. It’s not fun to bargain over the cell phone all day long with people that live 2000 miles away and are not going to buy anyway. My firm price is the Buy Now price. I have sold every car I have ever tried to, so I’m not motivated to be bargained down.

PLEASE!!!!!!   PLEASE!!!!! PLEASE!!!!! Come look at this vehicle.

Please don’t hit the Buy Now button unless your ready to really buy it!

Do your research, call me with questions, read my feed backs, I am ebay verified; this means they say I’m a real person in a real place.

I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO SELL YOU THE VEHICLE WITH-OUT AN INSPECTION; YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF NERVE AND PLEASE DON’T BE A CRY BABY if you don't come and inspect the car.

Read the ME section on the upper right hand part of the listing marked seller info.

Thank You,
