"YEAH,,IM GOING TO RESTORE IT SOMEDAY"

I drive past this 69 constantly while traveling my territory in NE Iowa,and have tried to buy this car for 5 years. Old farmer bought the local town police car years ago,,thinks it's worth restoring someday. Sinks into the ground more each month,,I've offered to buy it many times,but he says,,again, "I'll have to think about it". I stopped by today as he was out mowing his yard, and tried to buy it again. Is it junk? Well,it's a factory 140 speedo with gauges. So for me,the quest continues!!

Looks like a long retired cop car with that dash and spotlight!

I'd love to get to the cowl tag but,,well,a picture is worth a thousand words. The guy that owns it is a great guy,and I'm sure his intentions were good,but I guess time got away from him. I guess we are all guilty of this at times.

It would take an hour or more to move all the junk piled on the hood. Maybe that's his theft protection against someone stealing the L72 that's under the hood.

If I get it bought,,I'll let you know and get the spotlite off the car for ya emil. Ironically,I bought an exact car back when I was a kid working at a Chevy Dealership. At the time I had a really nice 70 SS 454 Chevelle and needed a party car I guess. City traded it in,it was a 69 Biscayne police/fire car,same color,300HP 350 with the huge transistorized alternator,disc brakes,front and rear sway bars,spot lite,rubber mats, radio delete,12 bolt posi,etc. I drove it quite a while,it ran like a scalded ass for a small block.I pull the dash and did keep the 140 speedo for years,ended up selling it 20 years ago to Mr Kroug. Gave 325 bucks for the car,,I still have the receipt. Engine / trans went into a 67 2 door I had, drove it for for years.

Does it have a BBC still it ? There is a 66 wagon on eBay if any member is looking for one and the item is 292115553943
And it is white in color . The bid is up to 4500 and I think there is a 6500 reserve .
