Description
A car model rarely seen on Swedish roads. In its day, it was one of the fastest family cars ever produced. Originally, it came with a 289 engine and a supercharger, delivering breathtaking performance for its time. This car was imported to Sweden in 1969 — already then as a restoration project — meaning it had spent only about 11 years on American roads.
It has had a few owners in Sweden, but always as a restoration car. The current owner bought it in 2018 with plans to restore it, but several other projects have since taken priority. Now it’s being sold to someone ready to take it on. It offers incredible potential to build entirely to one’s own taste and vision. The car is missing both engine and gearbox. The original rear axle is included.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Difficult to say much about the technical condition since the car has no engine. Some instruments are missing, and the functionality of the remaining ones is uncertain. Surprisingly free from rust — not inspected on a lift by us, but stated to be rust-free by the owner.
-
Interior condition
Leather upholstery that could possibly be saved by a skilled restorer. No floor mats or headliner.
-
Exterior condition
A patinated car with a mix of colors. No serious rust detected. The chrome — on the bumpers and trim pieces that remain — is in decent condition.
-
General condition
A restoration project with the potential to become a highly rewarding investment, as this car is truly unique. When restored with care and attention to detail, a finished example commands a very high value today.
