Oh i see the deal this is. I know smurf isn't the first choice of many - but having dug DEEP into cruisers - as many on the forums have - this is a great platform to work with. You can go total stock (yes!) or modify to your hearts content (cool, but not AS cool as stock, ha!) Good luck with this one. I'd jump on it if I wasn't buried in my 78 and had a 60's 911 on my mind.

Post a price per forum rules. This is a classified thread...not a build thread with no pictures.

@MoJ - please review this thread and either move it over to the general 40 section or delete it. It's not appropriate in the classifieds.

I will never understand why people "upgrade" cruisers just to sell.

No serious buyers in as is condition despite low actual miles, little rust. I got two serious buyers who wanted turn key trucks , so here we are. And I have a lot of NOS parts so once painted it's easy to complete.
 
If I may... you really should close this thread and start a new one that begins with a completed, ready-to-sell 40... with a realistic price, pictures of everything, from every angle and a clear and succinct narrative about what you are offering.

I’m not saying you don’t have a realistic price, I’m merely saying your ad comes across as a con, by a used car salesman... it’s way too difficult to discern exactly why your 40 should be considered seriously, especially at $30k.

There’s generally a reason why no one seems interested and it’s frustrating when potential buyers have to beg for information, price and pictures.

Good luck, you can see my post #71, above.

You can also see that 2 months later, the seller continued posting his build thread instead of actually responding with anything of value.

This thread was created on March 3, 2019 and he has continued treating it as a build thread for 2+ years.

He seldom responds to any questions or requests for clarification.

There are plenty of ads by sellers who sincerely want to sell the vehicles they advertise.

This isn’t one of them.
