So basically all that is left wrong with the car is there is a stone chip in the windshield, the rotors are slightly warped and should be cut, the gas gauge is new but the sender must be bad, valley vintage sells them new and there is also one on craigslist for $64 plus $10 shipping, the high bean indicator light and rt turn signal on the dash are out, the front window run channels are brittle and breaking,the rears are fine, there is a flat spot in the carb when you start out even though it's a rebuilt carb, the heat works great but doesn't change from heat to defrost, it's halfway on both all of the time, and as with any old car the A/C doesn't work. It also has your typical 37 year old car rattles. Anyone interested in it if I get the title back this week PM me and we'll see what happen, I'm really interested in the '69 Polara on EBAY and this car would have to go.

Got my new "garbage" from ebay today , I felt kind of bad crushing something some collector probably wanted. I still need a second one. I also swapped out my dash pad for one that I won't feel quite so bad about cutting if I ever find a correct Craig 8 track.

I finally got my title today. NYS DMV is really on the ball, 3 months! Before I make a nice Ebay listing, does anyone seriously want this car? It's rust free and nicely done, it won't be cheap but find another one that is rust free and turn key (it does still have some minor issues which I will adjust the price for).

Before I make a nice Ebay listing, does anyone seriously want this car? Any offers? I can't make a play for it at this time, hopefully someone here buys it or who knows ... could fetch some big bucks on daBay and find its way on a boat across the pond.

Cool! Wish you could have enjoyed it more. I know, but I'd rather concentrate on my '75 real police Gran Fury, my '58 Fury, Amphicar, and remember, I still have HOB 3 too. My daughter doesn't know it's gone yet, she still keeps bringing up riding in her Blues Brothers car. That's the toughest part about selling it. I'm also debating on buying that '73 Polara CHP in Nevada if it's still for sale when I get my tax money, I'm more into real police package cars than Bluesmobiles.

Let me know if you want a roof for the HOB car. Make me an offer.

Yes this one is now on its way to me in the UK Sitting in a warehouse right now waiting for a boat! I was trying not to tempt fate by saying too much but I'm so excited I can't keep quiet lol. It's going to be a long 6 weeks or so wait till its parked on my drive then I've got all the fun of making it UK legal. Thanks to you Adam for all your hard work to make a great Bluesmobile. I'll take good care of it and keep everyone here updated with it's UK adventures Sent from my SM-G900F using proboards

I figured I'd rather have a member on here enjoy it than some stranger on ebay.

Let me know if you want a roof for the HOB car. Make me an offer. I need a roof, front and rear glass, moldings and a board headliner. I'd buy your stuff but I don't think it's feasible to ship it, I think buying a whole car would work out to be cheaper in the long run. Plus I still haven't been under HOB 3 to see if the rails or anything are bad, I also haven't been in the trunk, no key. That's the other reason I really need a parts car, I need a column and matching door cylinders, they broke the ignition because there are no keys for that car.
