Great car. We had a '63 Belvedere with the push button slushbox and a rompin' 383. I coveted that car as a teenager. Of course, my stepfather blew the engine to smithereens.
I really like the meatball welding-freak bumper on the trailer. That's worth the 75 bucks right there. The stickers add class.
'67 Belvedere 4 door was my first car. Little 273 two barrel and a TorqueFlite. Always ran great but rust was a huge problem-along with shakey brakes. Belvederes used a light weight unibody construction and actually weighted the same as a Valiant of the same year. Still miss that car......
Good-looking car from the pre-Coke-bottle era. Nice lean lines, airy greenhouse, interesting taper towards the rear. However, the exposed fuel filler cap on the rear fender is a surprisingly cheap-looking touch. Anyone who "salutes the Who" is OK in my book.
@tonyola: The fuel filler cap placement and appearance depends on taste, I guess. They used to be a featured part of the trim or a simple added touch. This MoPar is just perfect.
@Novaload Wants the Jez 9 Back: In fact, the caps were vital parts of the trim. Here's a MoPar--but the over the top designs actually belonged to American Motors, a Rambler and a Hornet.
@Novaload Wants the Jez 9 Back: An exposed filler looks fine when it implies performance (like on the Challenger and Charger) or emphasizes a car's identity (like the AMCs you show or early Mustangs). However, the filler on the Belvedere looks like a cheapo 99c item that was supposed to save a few bucks. What's telling is that the '67 Dodge Coronet used a hidden filler at the same location.
That car looks better than when it was new. So much style, and no flashy moves. Except for that color, of course. Glad he stayed within the Pentastar when selecting the proper trailer.
I'd like to change my vote from nice price to crack pipe. It is crack pipe, just a very popular flavor of crack that is advertised on SPEED 3 or 4 times a year. This flavor is very popular in AZ, FL, and Las Vegas. This is the Barrett-Jackson designer label pharmaceutical grade crack. Wen you first see it you might think it is a nice treat But you soon realize that the active ingredient is the same as the Decon, Draino, and baking soda based street crack.
@Tanshanomi: I agree. Personally, I'd be happy with a base Belvedere upgraded with a 440 and a nice B5 blue paint job with the color coded steel wheels like this one has. These GTXs are really nice, but this one's A) too expensive and B) too pretty to drive.

@FP - pass the stars, please: "...3 inch mandrill bent Magnaflow system..." If I could make up shit like that, I'd be king of teh funneh. There's got to be a joke in there about how many apes it takes to make an exhaust system.

All the engineerd Fair Market Value (eFMV patent pending) WOPR-like computer could do is laugh. $120,000 for a non-numbers matching restoration of dubious quality? There's crackpipe, then there's this.
Mr. Graverobber, we may need a new category: Speedballs and Meth with drops of acid
High-end used car dealer. Need I elaborate? $120k will buy a lot of crack, or about 6 more near classic trailer queens in search of a not-very-bright buyer.

This car intentionally has different front and rear wheels, stay away...it's for your own good.

This has the same pricing as Spears' career...inexplicable.

And this 'Cuda is about as close as one's going to get.
So, not Nice Price exactly, but far from Crack Pipe, assuming the restoration has, in fact, been done properly. Somewhere around Bong Hit.
