Found a sprint conv that may be for sale in FL - 2F03F184256

[vamach1]

This is serial #1 (2F03F184256) of the fifty convertibles made for the 1972 DC Cherry Blossom parade. Having said that it is sad to see the car has changed and the original interior has been replaced and it was repainted and black stripes were added. I spoke to the owner about five years ago and he wanted to fix it up for his 25 year old daughter. Obviously that did not happen so now she is asking me what the car is worth. I told her about $5K if the body is rust free. The car is in Boca Raton FL. I can pass along her email if anyone is interested in this rough but rare car. She said it had not been running in ten years.

Wow - very rare car. (like everyone doesn't know)

Hopefully not too much rust. This would be one where; if done right, would hold its value very well.

Be cool to see it brought back to original.

Florida cars = look rust free from the top, rotted out where you can't see them.

Wouldn't dare put a value on it without seeing the torque boxes and floor boards - minimum. Almost every single local (Miami) car I've seen has been rotted out at these spots. This car may have fared better for being on concrete, but the contents of that garage look as if they would help hold humidity in.

At least it clears with the Florida DMV though - more than we can say of many recent finds here.

That's pretty cool Rex. I don't need another car but this would be an interesting way to satisfy my convertible desire. I wish it were closer, but maybe that's a good thing.

That would be a cool project.

An attractive little car for sure - and given it's proximity to me, it is a good thing that I'm running out of play money with the '71 Green Machine.

I wonder what possessed someone to smash both mirrors inwards...

So when is the road trip?

It's too easy to see out of them in the stock location.

Don't think I haven't considered trying to get it because I have. It's just a bit too far and the looming/pending DoD sequestration plus the wife would KILL me.

Looks like a nice find.

I forgot all about this car. I may have to go check to see if it is still there although that was a long time ago. Who would have thought it would be so hard to keep track of just 50 cars.

Check it out Rex, at least for curiosity's sake. I might be interested in getting another one too.

Should have bought Jay's a while back but someone snagged it first...
