Just saw this ad for a yellow 1973 1.7L car at a local dealer:

Supposed to be 76.6K miles. I may have time to take a shufti next week if anyone is interested . . .

Steve,
That's the same car I was advertising for the lady in Yorktown about 8 years ago. Her husband did the restoration, but I remember that he used some fiberglass for rust repairs and a bit too much hardener in the paint (hence the cracks). But the car was stored inside and super clean, very well detailed when I took pics of the car back then. I'm amazed that it's still around.

Cheers,
Dominic

Don't sellers know that prospective buyers want to see everything? We want to see under the hoods, we want to see the engine compartment and as many other places that aren't apparent by just taking two shots of the front and one of the back and a few of the wheels......

People that sell vehicles, especially dealers should know how to properly advertise vehicles and that includes proper pictures, of the appropriate areas.

Hey Dom! Wooo, small world, even for these little cars. Now I may have to go up there and take a peek even if no one is interested. Besides, I've never seen a 19+K 914 4cyl in person . . .

Let me know if/when you're headed out this way!
