I haven't seen this one. Thanks for posting it.
My concern would be that the floors were replaced with the same attention to detail as the carpet and seats.
Can you post larger pictures? I've never been facebooked.

$6000 for a rusty, patched up car seems high. 301's are super rare, but that doesn't make it a non boat anchor drive train. Even a great running 301 doesn't run great for 2017. This one is too far gone to be put back to stock and too expensive to put any money into it fixing/modifying it with a better drivetrain.

I would love it if it was cheap and/or rust free, but I don't love it at that price/condition. I would rate the seller as honest and optimistic.

Thanks for posting.

I would also be concerned with how well the new floor pan was installed. He did mention using screws and seam sealer....yikes!...a real professional job..:doh:
The rest of the car looks pretty nice.

I'm not sure what you are referring to by saying it is too far gone to put back to stock.
It appears to be completely factory stock other than the aluminum radiator.
If it's got a good solid frame, low miles as stated, new clutch and is solid it would be worth ~$5,000 to $6,000 IMO....depending on the quality of the floor replacement.
If we discarded every G body that had a rusted floor, rusted vinyl top or bad frame these would all be pretty darn rare.

Not sure what "new carb" would consist of either.
I'm curious if it is missing the center console or if it had a console delete option.
