But for the right price it will be a good project for someone that may well not be able to afford one of these cars any other way. :wink:

that car restored would bring maybe 100 k, now its probably worth say 10 k.it will take 50k to get it road worthy :s024:

Dave, your coment on the six pak setup stumped me for I almost certain its original and not changed. I found this information from web site,
http://www.gerlecreek.com/documents/tptechnical.htm

"This carburetor is an ultra rare piece. When Ford cancelled the Ford 366 NASCAR program, they decided to abandon the Holley 6V carburetors which they had Holley develop for them. Holley then offered them to GM and MOPAR. GM was not interested, but MOPAR was. These specific carburetors were then modified and converted from vacuum secondary to full mechanical in the form of Holley List 4782/4783s which MOPAR offered for competition uses thereafter. I run a set on my Ford 429 6V intake. They work exceptionally well. "

This might explain how it came this way.

Yes. That link shows you what I mean. It is not the Chrysler fitted six pack but a manual linkage Ford type. Going to manual linkage is a performance modification often done for racing.
It is very strange seeing this done to a convertible.
