Rare options LOL

-
Love the rare dealer factory installed large bolt disc brakes that were not made for other cars till many years later.
 
Man these earlies being listed for sale inaccurately seem to be coming out of the woodwork recently.
Are there really that many early-a owners that just do not know what they actually have?

Flippers I think being as the unrestored like this one most are asking E body money.

YES!
Plus the part where they try to pump up their car like it was one of a very few that came with whatever when they want to sell it.
It's also amazing how many people lie their *** off when it comes to money.
You could buy their integrity out of a 25 cent gumball machine.
 
Well... Those upgrades that most would want anyway have been done with Chrysler parts. The next owner wont someday need to figure out he needs Toyota rotors. I'm not approving the sellers description, just approving the car.
 
I always wonder if it's someone that doesn't really know Mopars or early As, for instance selling dad's car for him, or if they are just scammers. I tend to think it's mostly ignorance.
 
WHAT? no "matching numbers" 273? Oh my this guy is slipping


It's probably a 318 or 360 that came out of the same car the brakes came off of
 
While I am a huge fan of early As, this one is overpriced as usual for a project car that needs a lot to be completed. I also agree that the late A-body single piston disc brakes are a good upgrade; they are the same system I have on mine. Still, it is way overpriced for the work that it still needs. Rare and original is a complete laugh.

Rare would be the 64 I had years ago with all of the Formula S options before Formula S was an available model. I don't claim to be an expert on these models, but it had a quick ratio steering box, early day/night mirror, and tachometer since it was a 4-speed car. Unfortunately the drivetrain was long gone and that car needed inner and outer quarters so I took the 4-speed stuff out of it and traded it away for a narrowed Dana with aftermarket axles and a powerlock.

Didn't the 64's have Valiant badges?

This is the exact reason I have made a list of what upgrades/changes I've made so that whoever takes possession (supposed to be my youngest son) will know exactly what he has. For example, the rear end has 1994-2004 base Mustang calipers and rotors and I've been drawing out a wiring diagram for all the changes made to the engine and underdash harnesses.
 
Yep, slipping. No frame off restoration on this one, either.

The Barracuda unlike the Valiant used the same fenders for 1964 and 1965.

I never new that I just assumed fenders were swapped for 65 fenders. I had a 1964 valiant wagon and it also had 1965 fenders but I think someone changed them.Jayson
 
Well it ended at 3749 which I think is fair money for a decent project with the updates that are done. The seller did not meet reserve so it proves he is expecting much more than it is worth.
