This car I bought many years ago when I found my frame cracked on my Executive.
I took one car apart, and reassembled this one.
Now it has sat for many many years so I can assure it has rust issues.
The 69s had one off doghouse that made them look more like a large GTO.
My Green Executive was really cool, this car came from California a longtime ago with a 428 9saw engine as I bought it sans eng/trans.
Supposedly original 428 car BUT I have zero documentation.
It now has a poorly honed(ie I didnt know how to hone at the time) stock bore 400 that has been minimum squared.
Has a 389/400 nodular iron crank that was shotpeened, turned 010/010 with extra oil clearance and hard chromed from buddys ex drag motor.
It still has the one off solid lifter Lunati cam. its is so big that next step was roller. and it has old shcool echlin dual point distributor.
I had built it with 2 x4 intake and pair of match AFB carbs but sold that. It has a set of Thorley headers off a 64 Tempest but unknown condition. also th400 with 3spd Vega converter. and a factory2.93 rear end with limitedslip from a 66 Grand Prix.
This car shars many parts with 70-71 MC, also has couple of competition Stewart warner guages in dash.
I will post picks later after I find them.
It is located in Burns City Indiana
I am asking $1500 as it is, but will separate the engine and sell body for less(negotiable)
There is a guy here in Indiana that can source a dog house as this car needs a new one.
One cool part of car, hasnt had vinyl top for decades and door still shut nearly like new.
It needs out of my yard and I need the cash.
Price IS negotiable.
PM, Email [email protected], or Text/cal 812-709-1006
Pictures coming soon.

Tried to show its not rusted to door handles, still has all 4 wheel lip chrome I thing I have all three pieces of front glass chrome.
It has on side of bumper not bent, had another half of straight bumper and right side grill but will need to look around for it.
Front fenders were not great when I drove it and deer buckled right side and left had minor damage I cut out,intending to piece in from an old fender.
It is what it is and I am fairly certain I still have one complete Ventura script. The green fender came from my Executive, guess it might be sellable.
Since this car has same heater core as a 70 mc I am wondering if a non ac box from A body might work as I have one.
I also have a set of OE chrome Pontiac valve covers, fair decent shape.

Oh yeah grass is from when neighbor cut my grassxearlier in week. I usually try to cut away from car.
Car DOES need wheels that can hold air, the old cheap chromies rusted out I think I have on I could put a tire on. Or if I can get some better wheels for my 78 C10 I could pull those off and let them go with car. If local guy had sold me his Impalla SS rims it would be no brained for use able wheels.

I could drop the price and remove the distributor.
