*Please serious bidders only*  This is a no reserve auction and will be sold to the highest bidder.   It will be on a 5 day auction.   Please have all approvals PRIOR to auctions end.   If you are awaiting a loan. please find another car to bid on.   I've been down that road before.   Please make sure you can keep to all my terms below before deciding to bid on my car.   Thanks

Overseas bidders are welcome

S and no relisting.   This is a real auction.   All I ask is please only bid what you can afford.   I need to sell the vehicle and the buyers will determine whatever market value it has. not me.   This is a great opportunity for a new owner to get a great deal on a mopar convertible.   I know the amount I have invested into this car will not be recouped and you get a car with all the hard work done.   Also. 3rd party inspections and any other inspection is welcomed as long as it is done prior to auctions end.   It is your responsibility to ask questions and determine if the car meets your satisfaction.   I will answer all questions promptly with an accurate description as best as I can as a hobbyist.   This is a great car but is not a national show winner or show car.  It is something you can be proud of an enjoy at the local shows or drive ins.   If you have any questions. please ask away!  Good luck!

On Sep-19-13 at 09:59:25 PDT. seller added the following information:

I incorrectly said the extensions had been replaced as well.   They are the originals. I just had the center trunk pan replaced.   Sorry about that.   Also. only 779 convertibles were produced according to an email from someone who had the production numbers book.   Thanks!

I've had lots of questions on price and whats been invested.   I have over 30k into the car.   I stopped counting all the nickel and dime stuff it took to get to this point. It will sell for highest bid no matter what the price is.   This isn't a car you will readily find out there.   Look around. Then come back and see everything that's been done to this car.   Rust free 'verts are extremely tough to find.   I spent 3 years looking for this car as I didn't want a rust bucket to start with.   Paid 12k for the car as a running/driving solid convertible before tearing it all apart to get to how you see it now.
