One winter or two in the northeast can create a ton of rust.
Let it sit for a while…need a muffler, battery tray, etc etc

Not shocked seeing low mileage cars with loads of rust up here.

My 36k mile ‘71 had a very bad hell hole. Interior was pristine.

true.
i saw some of them back in 89.

the secretary's blue 1.7 that pulled 80K came from chicago.
she retired to florida.
it didn't have rust.
she didn't drive it in winter?

it has to be an artefact for a collector?
.
you know what i am saying. if the discussion is - ......is it $70K
which is the topic.
or will a 74 1.8 pull 70K

it could. but it would have to be as good as the two base cars i know about that have made it to that level.

somewhere out there is probably a 74 1.8 at the level of the 75 1.8 that dragged down big $ at sotherbys and the 73 1.7 from florida which did similar.

but i don't think this one on BAT is it.

and i am still shocked to think that a 74 1.8 is even considered valuable.
and i own one and love them. what has happened to the world.
either its insane or actually its become very sane.
the car is right there at the invention of L jet.
a pristine one has got to have sheer museum value.
i'm biased.

so is @Big Len cheers Big Len. you have taste.
