Ok, I’ll going to at least get the December thread started. Hope to have the old listings combed through and updated soon. Work has been busy lately (a good thing).
Here is a new one I spotted on CL this morning;
'70 w/ 351, auto. Sunroof car. Michigan, no mention of docs, $30k.

I’m emailing for more info and I’ll post if I hear back.
One just coming up around here. I went and looked at it last weekend.
1970 Grabber Blue
Cleveland w/ headers
4 speed
Black interior
Drum brakes
P.S.
The car has a semi custom interior (see pics) and other “customized” items
(pics too big 256Kmax???.. Oh Bill…
now I gotta send to other computer, resize, and post…stay tuned!)
Lots of NOS parts used
Has a 31 spline 3:50 rear end
Front suspension has been done
Needs paint, and some personal work
I did not get a list yet, but he’s getting it ready for me.
Asking price is yet to be determined…
I would ask you all try and help me “help him find fair value”
Well, without pics and assuming the best (probably a bad idea, I know), the recent trend for '70 351 / 4-speed cars in various states of disrepair have been high teens to low 20’s.
The Blue and Ginger car went for about $18k a month or 2 ago. Orange car in Seattle area went for $22k back in Aug / Sept. A yellow one went for about $18k in early summer / late spring. All of these cars were original 351/4spd cars and needed work in various areas, but would have made good drivers (IMO) while awaiting restoration.
There are a few '69 351/4spd cars currently available. A white one and a blue metallic one. Both appear “clean”, probably needing very little work unless you plan to do serious showing. Both are currently available for about $22k, but have been available for a few months each. So to move them, I think they need either a price reduction or the right buyer.
I think that should give him an idea of what the current market will bear for a “driver” quality 4speed Eliminator.
I hope that helps, and please don’t assume that I’m an expert. I’m just passing along some numbers from cars I’ve seen over the last 6 months or so.
Pics now avail for viewing…

Please let me know what you think!
Thanks, Bill
Hi Bill,
Where is your friends car located? Does he have a Marti report for it? Is it “numbers matching”?
Any ideas on his asking price yet?
Thanks!
Car is located in Denver Co. I don’t have marti report for it, but did mention he needs to “get it”! No idea on price yet. I’ll call him today and post info. You are first interested party.
Thanks, Bill
Well, don’t rush on my account. While I am interested, the chance of me actually passing the bill through Congress (i.e. The Wife) are very slim. Seems that the majority of the House is against equal rights for Classic Cars. A crime, to be sure 
Just a heads up on this one.
I talked with the guy who owns it. He stated it’s in good shape and after restoring it some 18 years ago he put it in a “barn” and hasn’t driven it since. Just turning the motor over from time to time. He finally has decided to sell it and said he would send some pictures my way. Still haven’t received them and called to leave a message to let him know I’m still interested and would like to see the pictures. I see he still has it listed. I will post more information when and/or if I hear back.
Hi, could I get the phone number of the guy in colorado that is sellin the graber blue 1970 Eliminator 4spd with 3:50 gears? Does he have a price yet? Very interested. Thank you cougar7
