I have a very nice 1971 chassis on rotisserie out of AZ that will be for sale shortly. It's been given to me after much work at Series 9. The owner decided to move on to other things.

It got bumped in the right/rear and right/front in its life. Maybe at the same time, maybe not. Both are straightened out. The rear trunk floor was replaced, not for rust, but because I needed a template to make the rear straight.

It's the first chassis I've seen in 20 years that needed no welding on the hell hole. It will be getting a new battery tray. The area of the hell hole got wire brushed, treated with Ospho and coated with seam sealer. I'll be happy to show a magnet test on that area.

The bottom has been stripped and painted with single-stage acrylic Tangerine (original color). The outside of the car was planned for modern urethane, but we are not there yet.

It was planned for a /6 conversion. As such, it has a PMS motor mount installed and a PMS oil tank is included.

No interior included. Very good original wiring harness. All the original suspension/door/decks.

This is the closest thing to "no rust" I've seen in a very long time.

I want to price this fairly, so let me know what you think is correct for the current market.

I feel a couple of things are needed to place a price on it….
Is there a good title and what all is included….or missing.
Missing parts add up fast…..

$1-3k with a title. It’s a pain to ship and the buyer still needs a donor car for parts but a good opportunity for someone with a rusty chassis.

Having the undercarriage done is a huge plus. I suggest Putting the suspension back on it so its a roller. If tis a dry no rust car easy $5k IMO. Good color!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) thought it might be more however shipping would be an issue as mentioned ,someone close could snap it up for a good deal ,IMO it could be a great option for someone a rot box with good mechanics ...not like there isn't a few of them around afterall.
Title hasn't been stated by seller...bit of a red flag perhaps ?.

I'd pay 4k for it if it had a title.

It will be sold with a clear title and on it's suspension as a roller.

Keep in mind that it has almost $2k just in /6 motor mount and tank.
