Great, low-rust, solid car. Recently tuned--New plugs, condenser, points. Fuel pump upgrade and new Tangerine Racing stainless lines to replace the old vinyl lines. Still have the old pump and bracket if you want to keep it all original.
Purchased last year out of Colorado where is sat in dry storage for about 20 years. Last driven and tagged in 1996, but it runs great now with no smoke and a smooth idle. I would say rust free, but there is one small spot where some rust is under the driver side rocker panel. It seems that this is about as rust free as you find! I do see a bit of oil dripping on the exhaust after it heats up, but nothing too concerning, but a little smoke as it cools. Great project car to clean up the body or even keep in its original survivor patina. I have lots of parts from the previous owner including new clutch, brakes, A/C, ignition parts, trim parts, new seat covers, fuel tank cleaner (not needed). The car is complete and just needs a little effort to get it into great shape. Only part missing is the shifter knob. Asking $7500 obo.

Looks those rockers will come off with ease, can we get a pic of the rust area?

Interested, once we see the longs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).
We have a 73 1.7 Phoenix red (orange) with rusted longs and melted battery tray, but all other interior, seals, and mechanical parts are mint —either new or restored. It would be great to swap everything but the motor over and might be cheaper/quicker than doing the rust repair. Shipping would be expensive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Rent a trailer, take your truck and go get it. 4 day run there and home. Shorter if you and the co-pilot straight thru it.

Here are some pics of the problem area. Little bulge and a crack. The next photo is the opposite side, same place, then some more of the rockers underneath.
I've tried to flip the photos and re-upload, but can't get them to come in right. They are correct on the Google share link if you don't want to turn your head....     [attachmentid=708786]  Attached thumbnail(s)
