Went and looked at this 74 on CL yesterday in hopes of it being a 2.0 and not knowing what they have. Ended up being a 1.8. Not sure what the situation w the apprearance package is cause they said the fuchs weren’t on the car when they got it, however the center console oil temp is functioning. Replacement windshield. One of the lowest rust cars I’ve seen.
Funny thing was, since it has the added Heckblende panel installed, asked them how the trunk is opened: Two person job! Key stays in ignition, theres a switch under the steering wheel to the right of the fuse box. One person has to press that switch while the other opens the trunk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Thought that was pretty funny. Sad to see such a rust free car get that treatment and get jimmy rigged out like that. Made me curious how the rest of ya’s with the Heckblendes are opening your trunks! Attached thumbnail(s) |

I am sort of dealing with, ignoring this right now. Car came with one but electric option never completed. Has the secondary option of a wire out the trunk bottom. I have noticed that the trunk does not spring up with this option installed. Probably why it takes two people to open when it is installed and working. I have not looked into why yet. Call it a theft deterrent.
