UP FRONT discloser and time saver!!!!!!!!!! This is a good looking car, it drives and stops good, it has clear glass and decent chrome, the engine runs good and the transmission shifts good. It no $100,000 roll out of the trailer show queen. Its just a nice drive and enjoy quality car. The car is the high metallic blue paint, the door jambs and underside of trunk and lips painted good. The engine and transmission are not the originals, they have been upgraded to a 1970 350 cubic inch engine and a 3 speed automatic Turbo 350, the car probably came out with a 283 and a 2 speed Powerglide. To me a drive and enjoy quality car is one that looks good, drives good, runs good, but is not a show perfect car, just to look at it is beautiful, but if you inspect you will find flaws and the quality of restoration is not the same as a high dollar show car. You sort of get what you pay for, your paying for drive and enjoy not a national show winner. Come look the car over and be happy.

 

MY PRICE IS THE REAL PRICE!!!!!!!! I don't like to play the used car game, if you want to play go to a Classic Car showroom. My price is the real price, its fair for this car. I have been doing this for a long time and sold every car I ever tried to, so I know the game and have sold 100% if the cars I have ever tried to.

 

 

 

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 66 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 almost 43 years. LIFE IS GOOD IN THE GREEN HILLS OF EAST TENNESSEE!

 

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

 

EBAY PRICE IS $18,700 AND MY REAL PRICE IS $17,800 DIRECT!!!! That's what it take to buy the car on or off ebay motors, you dealers wanting to resell have to pay the same. 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.

 

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. 

 

TITLE: The title matches the VIN on the car, I have the clear title in hand. We are just a father/son operation working out our garage, but I have dealers license to keep things legal.

 

IS THERE ANY RUST PROBLEMS?    This is no rust bucket, the underside looks good, but not sanded smooth and detailed for show.  No rusted holes or rust bubbles in the paint. It is no rust bucket.

 

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! 

 

 

PAINT:    The metallic blue paint would be considered good, the car is fairly straight when you look down the sides, it has no rust bubbles, no big dents, the only ding is one on the passengers rear quarter, its from the inside where someone hauled something, it did not break the paint and its about the size of a nickle. The paint shines good, 2 or 3 touched up chips and a couple of touched up places on the noise of the hood.

 

CHROME:      The front and rear bumpers are nice, they have been rechromed, the windshield chrome new, the convertible top chrome new, the hood chrome has pits. 

 

INTERIOR:   No smoke smell, the seat covers are good, the carpet good, the door panels good, not new interior, but good. The instrument bezel is scuffed.

 

RADIO: Not super high quality, but it works.

  

UNSERSIDE:    Frame is solid, the back bottom of the floors have been replaced with the correct panels, a few pin holes and the thin sheet metal on the rear quarter drop downs have rusty edges.

 

GLASS:    The glass is fine, the door glasses roll up and down good and the windshield is new, no vent window looks.

 

ENGINE:    Engine runs very good, its a 1970 350 cubic inch with a 4 barrel carburetor. No knocks or blue smoke. 

 

EXHAUST SYSTEM:  Used, but decent condition, the mufflers are Flow Master.

 

TRANSMISSION:   Its a Turbo 350 that shifts good.

 

REAR-END:     It has no bearing noises, no growls, its the original with a good highway gearing.

 

BRAKES:  Good, they are drums all around.

 

COPNVERTIBLE TOP: Its not power, but goes up and down good. Its a older top with no holes and no real bad wear, its very usable, the back plastic window is dull.

 

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

 

WHEELS AND TIRES:      The wheels are Rallies and the tires good radials with white letters.

 

LIGHTS:     They work, turn signals work, headlights work, tail lights work, brake lights work.

 

GUAGES:   Gas gauge works, speedometer works, the oil, volt and temp are in a pod old school under the dash. Horn is not working.

 

HOW DO THE DOORS AND HOOD OPEN AND CLOSE and panel fit?    I think the doors fit and open decent, the back right corner of the trunk does not fit good, after the pictures I put new trunk rubber on and adjusted it again, its not much better.

 

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!**************

 

The rest of the information is boring unless you are really interested in buying the car, its just buying details like shipping, paperwork, who I am, where the car is located and how to pay and contact information.

 

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 66 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 unpredictable, you might get a good one, but lots of them do not impress me at all, they make a good car sound bad on the report. They have to be very critical to cover their back sides and all their concerned about is getting paid. 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 $18,700 and I am firm. 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.
