428 CJ on Ebay (not GT/CS)

[Mosesatm]

Here is a great example of someone with no idea what he has. The car in question is a 68 1/2 428CJ and in fairly good shape. Might be the steal of a lifetime for someone.

Just goes to show that there are still some Mustang ignorant people out there so the perfect Mustang "coupe" (GT/CS) is still out there just waiting to be given away at an insanely cheap price!

Great looking project! I just wonder how someone could let a 428 CJ rot away like that. Is it me or does it look like it was burned on the top or was it just sanded down and left outside? ???

Might be those Arizona dust storms.

Motor looks kinda small for a 428.

 

[Mosesatm]

As with most CJs the original motor was most likely replaced years ago, probably with a 351.

Someone must have told the seller what it is. The title now says, "Cobra Jet" and the bidding is over $9,000. So much for the bargain of a lifetime.

what happened to the listing? anyone know why it was ended early?

 

[Mustanglvr]

It says the seller ended the listing early because of an error in the listing. Rhonda

I had been following this auction and was waiting to see where the bidding went (you know, laying in the bushes until the last few seconds...just kidding). When it was pulled from E-Bay I wrote to the seller asking why he stopped the auction.

He told me he pulled it because he did not know how rare it was when he listed it. He now has the Marti report ordered and will relist it once the car is documented as a Cobra Jet. He said he knows little about Mustangs and just bought the car, probably for peanuts based on the original auction.

He will not sell it directly to anyone. He said it will be back up for auction. I think he wants to retire on this one sale. Mark.

I was watching this auction closely too. Has anyone seen one of these cars sell lately? I have a 1968 1/2 CJ fastback and am curious what the market is on these. I can't find any that have actually sold that are in descent condition...except for mine when I bought it.

I think Forristall's has one for sale but asking price and selling price are rarely the same. The site should be www.forristalls.com. There is also a website dedicated to these cars. It might be good for some useful information.

It's Baaaaaack!!

I have got to get one of those foot gas pedals!

 

[case12]

I am somewhat ashamed to say I had one of those "footie" gas pedals on my car in the 70's - at least it was a Mopar.

This car looks like it could use a valve job.

$10,300 with 2 days left. Is that about tops for this car? After looking at the pictures it seems very rough. Without proof of a numbers matching engine.....what do you guys think? Would this car bring over $40,000 restored? Besides the gas pedal did you notice it is a 3 speed? How odd is that?

Mark.

I expect it'll go a little higher, but the seller isn't showing the car to locals and isn't supplying further info to prospective buyers...
