It’s in Michigan, near Ann Arbor.
It is remarkably rust free, and the owner said that’s why he bought it. He didn’t know that it has been repainted once, it was originally turquoise. And some old old vinyl and paint work on the interior to change that to red. It’s complete, and I would wager to bet that with a little tinkering, it would fire right up on the bottle. He values it at $5-6k, my offer, that he would probably take would be $2500. He knows it needs everything, and he told me if it doesn’t sell, he’s going to put it up on blocks, and when he dies his kids can scrap it. He cares nothing for it.
Unless it's all rotted you better pull the trigger Geoff
For reference, I drove my 66 Signet convertible up there, which has been on the market for about 3 years now with no takers at $7500. He wasn’t there, he doesn’t spend much time there except in the morning, so I went Saturday morning on my way to Lowes, but I was in my truck. From the feel of it, I’m the only interested party, and I mean over the past few months. If I buy it I’ll have to find a place to put it, my barns are currently full, that’s my biggest obstacle.You can get ignition and door lock sets pretty easily...
THIS is insane.
Time Space and Money
I really, really, REALLY don’t need another car. And the biggest drawback to this car is the crappy interior job. Although the red vinyl door skins are literally glued to the metal surround of the door, with the turquoise door skins untouched and underneath. Of course, I have a complete commando drivetrain for it, if I kept the 3 speed setup that is.
My next project HAS to be putting the 340 into my blue Barracuda. Now that Nellas room is finally done, I can turn back to doing stuff with cars. I wish the Signet would find a good home, I need the space, and the money would be nice too. Although it’s a really fun car to drive. Come on down and pick you up a couple verts, and bring Keith and Kimberley with you, I would love to meet you all!
I can edit your title to "Not mine" and you could help the guy sell it.
Ok Mike, please do that.
No, the interior is turquoise as well, under some spray bomb red on the metal, and some really bad vinyl on the door skins and dash pad. The front seat looks to have been reupholstered, the back seat looks like Mopar vinyl, but it’s red. Not sure if it got dyed or they swapped one from a red car.
Stop it!! You have that hypnotic effect on me buying cars, that’s how I got the Signet.
