Relisted: 1972 TC Parts Car on eBay 3rd Time & Priced Even Higher
« on: Tuesday,March 07, 2023, 09:50:02 AM »
Didn't sell TWICE before on eBay. Bids maxed out at $5200 1st time, then $4550 2nd time. And if you ask me, that's about all it is worth. Now asking flat $14,950 no auction. :FUNNY:

 '72 TC (not TCS) with 336 gearbox, '74 interior bits, single Lockheed booster - a Frankenkludge of more than one car. Frame and body may have been invoiced around 02/1972. Paint is shot, dash a mess, several parts in pics, but appears to be missing lots of critical parts: no photos show crash pad, various interior parts, front/rear grilles, any glass (just side frames), more. In the end, one big incomplete pile of parts. Would take a lot of $$$, time, and luck getting missing stuff and putting back on the road to create a TC/336 of random origins.

:deadhorse:

He has removed the Holbay block/crank from the listing, as well as the Wilwood calipers (the only parts worth anything, aside from perhaps the cam cover and the carbs). So now there is no block, a crusty crank, and a head that is described as bad, not clear if there are any valves or cams in it. So bottom line, it needs a complete motor, paint, quite a bit of interior work, chrome, glass, probably wiring harness. I don't think he will get $5K for it. It's a money pit for sure.

Too many unknowns to get north of $5k.
