(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) i'm falling in love with these cars and presently shopping for a 2.0. i've got my eye on a 1975 (no engine rebuild) but looks great with around 50k miles. what kind of work can i expect to do on it? (no rust) how can i obtain a vehichle history report to research history for accidents etc? should i spend over 5k for original one in great shape or restored? what should i look for? help!

Since you like in Cali, one thing to consider is smog. Is 75 exempt? If so, you're fine there, and you could get a motor with a little more guts. The 75 and 76 2.0s are different than the 73 & 74 2.0s. Everyone likes the 73 & 74 2.0s as the 2.0 to buy. If you are looking for an original car then that's true, but there are a lot of 70-73 1.7 cars that have replaced their motors with 2.0s. I think this can be a good choice. Mine has that.
Look around, learn the pitfalls and then look at lots of cars. |
