:( I've decided to part with the 68 Convertible I bought from Robert Soule a couple years back. The car has the POTENTIAL to be pretty nice but will need a lot of work. The car had been wrecked in the front and poorly repaired. When I got the car, I pulled the front cap and took it to my frame shop and had the frame (unibody) straightened. It is now nice and straight but I have not yet reinstalled the sheetmetal because I was going to detail the firewall and engine while I could get to it. The interior is pretty nice. Black Metalflake leather. I have a new top for the car and a super nice dash. The mileage is relatively low, about 75K as I recall. Mechanically the motor ran well but needs a complete tuneup, the brakes were up. Some of the windows don't work. Windshield is cracked but I have a good replacement. The sheet metal and chrome is presentable but, of course needs paint. The original color is pale yellow, black top. Has AC but, of course, it doesn't work. I have only driven the car on and off the trailer. Robert drove it around the block a few times but I would say it was roadworthy without a good going over. It's been sitting for two years. The car has been under a car cover under roof since I had it. Obviously the car needs a lot of work but it's a very sound start for what would be a very valuable and delightful automobile. So why am I selling it? My little English Wheel manufacturing business (Imperial Wheeling Machines Wheelingmachines.com) has really taken off and I need the space. Realizing that I will probably never get to it makes me decide to sell it before it deteriorates further. I'm not interested in doing the restoration for pay either. I have three cars in line and frankly don't have the time to do them, much less another. Besides, I need the space. The car is in North Alabama, near Huntsville. Price is $5000. Delivery is possible. I'd prefer to see it go to an active IMLer but if there is no interest, I'll put it in the IML classifieds and then ebay. Email me privately for details. Pinkertonk@xxxxxxxxx
