1971 Chevrolet Clamshell

https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/5933322019.html

 

A lot of money for what looks like a bare-bones car. I believe it was originally equipped with A/C, but it looks like the compressor has been removed. Manual tailgate. Painted steel wheels. Can't tell much else without seeing the dash, which he does not show. No photos of the interior except for that one of the rear taken from a distance. For a $5k asking price, he needs to do a lot better in the photo department.

 

Pretty sure this is the same car advertised February 2015 at the same $5k price, although the old photos have expired. The engine was listed as 400 at the time.

I tried buying this car the first time. They were hard to get ahold of. I talked to his wife, her husband was a cop.

 

Did it sound like worth the money at the time?

 

It was a bondo wagon. Left 1/4 was full of putty
