Just arrived this afternoon from Bethel Park, PA. Absolutely filthy! But.. the car is one owner and only 16,000 miles on her. With alot of elbow grease it should clean up real well. Never seen one so original. Has the original Michi XZ radials, fuel lines that were replaced by the dealer durning the HO campain back in the day, etc. The owner John, hasn't driven her in about 8 years. Certianly needs some TLC to bring her back to her former glory and make her road worthy, but should be quite looker when done. Happy to document anything you guys need for the Originality forum. Thanks again for doing the PPI Bud. Bud and I added her to the Vin section.

Are steel rims available new? I'd like to follow Gint's suggestion. I was hesitant on driving it on the hiway home, from the pickup location. Made it back without incident. Think the fuel lines scared me more than the tires.

Think the fuel lines scared me more than the tires. Last year I bought my '74 in original condition. It was last driven in '76-77 before I bought it. It only had 30K miles. The original Michi looked good (but dry) when I started the first drive but, I reached the wire reinforcement after 2 days! Replaced them with new tires and never looked back. DON'T DRIVE THEM! |
