Spent a couple days browsing here. Nice forum.
I stumbled on a 73 that I'm mostly looking for a value on. Body is super straight. Pan has cancer on the drivers inner seat mount, but I'm not worried about patching the pan. 1.7 that's been converted to a two barrel Weber of unknown setup. Fires up and idles instantly, but might be running rich, since it doesn't like to hold idle after it's warmed up. Super sloppy shifting from what looks like worn and missing bushings, but moves between gears fine. Clutch needs adjusting, because it doesn't engage until the very last of the pedal stroke. I'm guessing this might have something to do with an intermittent shudder when going from a dead stop while in first. Or the clutch is fouled with oil. Wiring has gremlins in the lights, but doesn't look hacked up. Maybe the worst part is that someone has replaced the stock vinyl with white, and painted the top white. Cheap fixes, but man, it's ugly with that setup. History is a mystery. Guy selling it bought it on a whim, it seems. mAh hle wheels I guess, and odd gold accents on the door handles, latches, etc. Seems like a steal, but I'm questioning myself. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I see $1500 in parts and I haven’t even looked at it. What are you waiting for? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
