a salesman in 1959 learned that GM was going to make less than 10 of the RPO 576 with 4-spds and 4.11 posi.
With the tri-power they were rated at 335 HP.
The 2nd owner bought it in 1985, and now will sell it for about 160k, through an ad, not an auction. Strange notion.

If it only has 20 miles on it why did it need a frame off restoration?
ReplyDelete30 years of sitting and rusting in a humid climate I expect. No one realized that to museum store that car, they needed to drain the fluids, put desiccant in the gas tank, etc... just my guess. So all the fluids ate away their systems, and the rubber all dried out, and etc etc. Just my guess
