This car was bought new by a local doctor in '75 and driven to work about 80K. Ran up until it was brought in for a clutch and repair was never done. Car has sat for the last 4 years. Service station is only a couple miles from my house but the car was parked around back and I never saw it until today. I GPS'ed the owners address and he was another 3 miles down the road. Went over to his house and asked about the car. It was supposed to be sold for 1K but deal fell through. I made cash offer, he took it and signed over title. Now just have to figure out how to get a non running car up a steep unpaved hill to my workshop. Then decide if it is worth restoring or parting. PS- I will not be the one restoring so it will probably be in the classifieds soon. Car seems solid but there is obviously rust in all the normal spots. Also looks to be all origional with the fuel injection still on the engine.

QUOTE(Vacca Rabite @ Nov 9 2010, 02:05 PM)  Well. It CLEARLY needs a new battery tray! Did the rot get to the long? I think that you scored big time on this car! I love the seats too! zach I stuck a long screwdriver down to the hell hole and nothing poked through but I would still be surprised if it was solid. There's a lot of hoses. NOS? Is that a GT front bumper? |
