1970 owner papers how many points ?

[Bob B.]

How many point deduct is it for not having consumer information, trim ring booklets in the glove box? How much deduct if I just put repro copies in, I looked at pricing and it looks like over $1,000. easy to buy the original s. I have owners, key envelope, spare keys, shims and bag, wrench This seems like very expensive if it is just a few points. THANKS

Bob,
If I were judging your car I would deduct 1 point each for a missing Consumer Info Booklet and Trim Ring Card. If they are missing you would lose the condition points as well. Total deduct would be 4 points.
All original paper work is expensive but $1000 for the two pieces seems a bit strong but finding a real 70 Consumer Info Booklet will be a challenge.

Original Trim ring cards are out there. There have been quite a few on ebay recently. I don't think they went of for more than $100-$150. The Consumer Information Booklet can be tough to find. Even so they typically go for $200-$300 for perfect examples. I paid $190 for a 1970 Consumer information booklet less than a year ago for an almost perfect original. I am looking for an original radio Instruction Guide and they go anywhere from $150-$300. Of course I would like to pay less.

$1,000 sounds WAAAY high for the two items you mentioned..

Re: 1970 owner papers how many points ?

Bill- My bad, sorry about that. That seller is a good guy, prices are not cheap, but he has a heck of a collection and his prices were a lot more reasonable that other places I saw. Check with him on phone, he had a LOT of literature MAY have more of the radio pages.
For the few points a repro page takes away I am not sure the money spent wouldn't be better spent else where on the car, but I have always liked the full glove box documents. I have a bunch of ORPHAN DOCS I will be listing on our site soon mostly mid 70's to 90's
FREE to current owners of the original car- watch.

Ho Bob,

Stuff happens and unfortunately he does not have another. He and I had already worked out a deal. I just did not get to the computer in time to seal the deal before you bought it.

Keep your eyes peeled for me. I also wouldn't mind a professionally done copy of the one Jim sent you.

Kind Regards,


Bill

Re: 1970 owner papers how many points ?

Bill- I received my radio guide and frankly it looks 100% like to repros, I WILL get you the best copy I can but the repros are a LOT better than what I am going to be able to get.
Let me know

Re: 1970 owner papers how many points ?

The repros would be great if they just did not have the disclaimer on them. Just do the best you can. I appreciate the effort.

Kind regards,
