Not sure what I will do with it yet, maybe a good project to to practice my welding skills.
We shall see.

It may be worth saving.

It took me 2 hrs to get it on the trailer, corrosion was so bad on the calipers that I had to remove 3 of them to get it rolling.

Tim ; if I save this one it will be all original.

Garold ; yes it is a 72

Next time just pull the pads from the calipers. I always bring a pliers, hammer, prybar, punch (knock the pins out) and a can of WD40. Soak the pads with WD40, pull the pins. Sometimes need the prybar to get the pads to come out. Oh and always bring an air tank (full of air)

If you are able to save it, do it. I know by west cost standards it might be to far gone, but they are getting harder to find that can be fixed. If you don't plan to repair it clean it up a bit and sell it has a project car if possible.

I tried that , wd40, hammer tried to pull the pads. They didn't budge. The quickest way was to pull the calipers.

I have had that happen before also. Sometimes a BFH (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) and a 19mm wrench is all you need. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Great buy! So what's the rust situation? Hell hole ok? Floors? Hope it's not too bad since she's been sitting since '78 per the ad. They always look so nice in pics. Hope it's an easy resto. Love that color!
