Non stock speedo so the miles represented are probably inaccurate. Seller mentions that.

I know that the armor all'd the hell out of it.

looks like an ok car. in the pic where they show the trunk, it looks like they painted over a giant rust bubble....

looks pretty good overall.. the trunk is the one bad spot in the pics... I'm sure there are at least 1-2 other little spots we don't see...

looks better than a lot of ebay trash!

nope, they cut out the VIN number that was in the replacement trunk floor and put the original one back in.
"nice" seam weld

one wonders why?

either they just replaced a rusted out rear trunk
or the car was hit in the back ...

if you want to concours it this may not be a bad bet, but if you just want to drive the piss out of it and it doesn't get too expensive... it could be a sweet deal!

theres a vin # in the rear trunk?

Posted by: tryan Jul 1 2003, 03:51 PM

it looks decent , but the price is climbing. i would like to see under the battery tray.

Posted by: SirAndy Jul 1 2003, 03:55 PM

actually, it's a chassis number. my '70 didn't have one, but the trunk replacement ('73 ?) had one stamped in there.
and i've seen quite a few now on later model cars.

Check the pics of the front trunk for the replaced vin#. very next picture. Good eyes Andy!

But is the original paint color really black or has it just burned to that color from being out in the AZ sun.



Also....pictures never tell the real story. My car looks damn nice in the pictures but up close and in person...well, she's beautiful to me.

looks like the typical ebay car....spray paint and armor all as much as possible and hope for the best! still cannot understand why people buy these $2-3k cars all day long when you can get a sweet one for $5k and save yourself a lot of $ and headaches.
