I wonder why they bothered to mount the battery in the trunk on a 289 2 barrel car.

 

[TraveledGTCS]

Probably had to make room for the coolant container for the oversized radiator. The battery holder is there.

I had high expectations when I clicked on the link and saw the first page.

Are the rear frame rails damaged?

Looks like it used to have an Export Brace & Monte Carlo Bar (now missing). And Traction bars for a 289?
$35K seems OK for the value, but a few corrections need to be done.

Hey Neil,

I have looked at the car in person as well as drove it - great bones and driver quality for sure. There was some damage to the rear subframe presumably from a poor towing hookup but after carefully looking it over it’s nothing a professional metal fab shop couldn’t correct in an afternoon. Car had a nitros setup at some point in its life on a different engine and the original 289 put back in leaving the bars, controller, and piping going through the passenger side engine bay. Really honest and clean car that needs the right parts put back in (and some removed).

It appears to have a P/B Booster (Marti Report does not list PDB option). Has PDB been added or only a PB Booster?
And the interior photo- it looks like 2 brake pedal arms attached to the pedal.

It's some sort of conduit.
I just love seeing spliced wires under the dash.

 

[di81977]

is that a 9 inch rear?

 

[Mosesatm]

Looks like a 9", it has the tapered tubes.

It has disc brakes up front/drums rear and yes PB Booster. We were able to reach what I thought was a fair price ($30,500) considering extra work needing done ex) properly done wiring and repairs to the rear subframe. Rear main seal also needs replacement. Supposed to be delivered next week so I’ll update with any little surprises!

For anyone wondering - 2 months and many hours bringing this car some deserved attention. Firewall forward wiring 90% complete and OEM parts swapped in where needed. Radiator assembling swap happening soon as the last big engine bay item. Engine will be pulled and refreshed/painted this winter along with the rest of the engine bay. Exhaust assembly also happening time permitting. Car runs, drives and brakes strong. Happy to be saving this one!

Great. Love to see it!!!
