Nice, very little body work needed.

And it's not green. Wow.

It's not that I hate green, but those seem to be found more often than any other color.

BUSTED Torsion Bars

I guess I've spent a sheltered life playing with mopars, because the only other "busted" Torsion Bar I ever saw, (other than on a rusty basketcase where the crossmember tore out), was back in the late 70's on on SuperBee, and that was on one side/one bar only ?

Love to hear this one's story as it relates to TWO 'busted' Torsion bars ?

[orange383]

Maybe it's just turned down? Easy to leave these cars on the bumpstops if you turn the adjusters all the way out.

Description said 2 different times it has 2 broken torsion bars. I wonder if what he really means is rotted frame where torsion bars meet frame/crossmember? LEON.

[70B5Cuda]

Are the torsion bars only meant to twist one way? Since they have side specific part numbers, What would happen if they were installed on the wrong sides?

I wondered that     , braking two bars  , only thing I can think , if cross member not rotted out   , someone attempted to remove both bars for suspension work years back  , with out correct tool & put gouges in the bars , creating stress points  , causing them to snap  at later date ,  , after recreating some driving  action from the DOH      

[69 OUR/TEA]

I bet he's after north of 50k.

Which to me would be crazy money for it , not even if it was detailed up running / driving  would $50k be in my mind of it being worth that .

[hemi-hampton]

The price is to high already.

[Challenger340]

Wow, $25,600 , res not met yet .

That about says it all regarding the market for these cars, and with 4 DAYS LEFT in the Bidding ?

[bakerhillpins]

Pretty car and it's not Green!

That's what I was thinking. 

[Challenger340]

$29,100. on 43 Bids, reserve not met, 1 Day 16 Hrs left.

[CDN72SE]

US $30,100.00, reserve met. Very nice car.

[ACUDANUT]

I wonder what greed bay will make on it. It ain't 10 percent either on a Auction. More like 25%. 
Or wait, maybe that's what they charge if it does not sell.  Selling it a fixed price seems cheaper.  Why ? GREED BAY, WHY ?

[smithenhiven]

Pretty sure ebays fees are fixed on vehicle auctions, and are not a percentage of sale.  $125 if im not mistaken.
