[Abeck914]

Hi all,

Posting up my car for sale today. I'll do my best to present it accurately and answer questions as best I can. I could provide a lot of blather buy I'll also try to keep it short so you don't lose interest right off the bat. Asking $22,000 obo.




Cons:
not original
not a 6 cyl
no spare
no spare so no washer fluid spray for wipers
one tab on one letter on engine deck letters is broken, but that letter has survived my 5 years
one grill mesh over battery has a hole presumably from a suppression system in its previous life
some minor scratches, cracks, and a bruise documented in pics

Pros:
Really fun solid no worry reliable driver [I commuted it off and on 68 miles each way]
1974 2.0 engine [compression results in link [122, 123, 124, 130 if I recall correctly]
original fuel injection
side shifter
orange although not OEM paint code
Genuine minilites 15X6.5J [4 total, no spare]
Steel fuel lines

I can't think of any issues

pre-2018
I'm including a link to a drive that shows pics of extensive repair work to body, and tons of receipts.

I've collected good OEM seats and brackets, a solid backpad that needs to just be scrubbed clean, and sunvisors that definitely need to be cleaned but I don't know how good they will look when cleaned, and new mounting brackets for visors, GT style decklid. all included. Including in sale frame stiffeners, extra cylinder heads, box o bolts, crank case.

Other info that could be or could not be a pro or con:
Corbeau seats with harnesses, adjustable
Bolt in cage
No heat collectors, no heat, no defrost
No radio except air-cooled engine music



The rear fenders were rolled and pulled to fit the 205/55r15s and minilites. very minor very infrequent rub on one side but i'll screw up the paint if I try to pull it more.

The paint is really eye-catching, these cars look great in signal orange and this color is a little deeper and must have a gold metal flake over silver base which really shines and appears lighter or darker with sun/shade, the lowered height and wider stance IMO look better than stock without putting a wheel that is too large for it. just my 0.02 and its all personal preference but I say this so you can prepare for constant thumbs up, heads hanging out windows, and delays at gas stations.

I also have a shovel style front bumper painted to match, but I looked down at the speedo at 105 and all I saw when I looked up was a tail straight in the air go over me and then three flashes of orange in separate directions. I can see what I can do about piecing it together and fiberglassing the backside if all pieces fit together. I presume this was a chipmunk.

Here is the link, I hope it works for everyone: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1D8j...?usp=drive_link
