Hi Bill,

the EF8 dark green coloured 70 Super Bee has no fender tag or broadcastsheet.
It was for sale on facebook for a long time at 25k $$ last winter/spring. Went to a classic car dealer in Pompano beach, Florida

Here is an old listing from the dealer

I like the white 67, but how can it be considered to be unrestored with a repaint?

If that's all they did then it's not restored. A really good restoration guy explained that a definition of restored means that everything has been redone, not just paint.

"Unrestored" but not a "Survivor"..

I didn't say anything about survivor. Some people will say survivor with a repaint.

No tag or sheet will keep it.from big.money.
But.im more concerned with condition overall. And what its final bid price is

 

[gtx6970]

Ps.

The white gtx has my primary attention .
But odds are will go above what I AM willing to spend.

I am thinking i may go to the Glendale auctions next month as well.

and sometimes guys change the spark plugs, rattle can the paint, put a blanket on the seats and call it "restored"

The white 67 GTX is a looker with the red interior ......I saw in person 2 weeks ago .....I would agree with dad's bee ......very nice original car with one repaint .......I wouldn't be sad if I owned it ....just saying

I agree. If you're going to blow $$$ it's a good idea to be informed. I didn't buy a survivor '71 'Cuda because I wanted one I could restore like new and I didn't think that would have been the right thing to do with that car. I would not have been happy with faded paint, crappy seat covers, etc.

They all look nice. Can't tell enough from photos and the auctioneer does a poor job of presenting them. They want us to imagine the car is perfect, instead of what it is.
The odometer on the white GTX looks like 78,000; like it best. The front sheet metal of the R/T is not straight. Collision repair?

If I were looking to buy one of these cars, I'd spend the money and send a qualified inspector.

Where's Jerry Hall?

Stupid question: is that plastic fuel filter factory? And what is an "inland" shifter?

Inland is the manufacturer & they are found on 66, 67 & up to spring 1968. Easy way to tell them is the reverse lockout.

My non-console '68....

 

[QOTHL]

Easy way to tell them is the reverse lockout.

If I'm not mistaken, Hurst has the same lockout feature.

 

[Richard Cranium]

If I'm not mistaken, Hurst has the same lockout feature.

If they did, they weren't on Mopars. Cars with the Hurst shifter got a reverse light under the dash. Inland equipped cars did not.

 

[DeltaV]

FWIW, and I'm not going to bid, the only one worth pursuing is the white '67 GTX.

Is the steering wheel upside down? Looks odd.

Definitely send a Mopar expert to go over the car and documentation with a fine toothed comb.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Hopefully, the wheels were turned when the steering wheel picture was taken.
