There was a 1974 2.0 at the Mecum auto auction in Pomona Ca today.
It was set to go at the end of the day, so I didn't see the results. Does it belong to anyone here?    |

I did take a look at it, and was tempted to bid if it was low. The bidding got up to $9,000 but did not sell or meet reserve.
You are correct, the original color was green, it shows through in some spots and where the black was flaked or rubbing off. This car may be "unrestored", but it had been converted to dual carbs. Other than the respray and who knows what bodywork, not much has been done to the car in many years. One interesting note, it did have a factory front swaybar installed. |
