Got a call this morning about a 74 for sale. My excitement grew on the trip there, but alas, no LE.
What I did find was just as exciting. A 74 2.0. Seems to be very clean with some proper restoration work done. Looked in all the suspect places that I could from the top and found no rust. Tar is gone from floors, with nice grey paint. It's been repainted the original signal orange. It's sitting in a tow truck drivers front yard way out in the sticks. Looks to be a very solid car with only a few missing parts. Passengers door panel, and both valances. Interior is black, seats are tan. Talked to the owner. He bought it in an auction from a DEA bust locally. He's coming to my shop tomorrow, and looks like I might get the car to check it out, get it out of the weather, and help him sell it. If I get it here I'll pull the rockers, put in on jackstands and give it a good goin over. We have 12 pics on the way, so be patient. Some are small and a few are large to show some detail. This car will be for sale. I have two locals interested, but if they don't want it, I'll post it here first. Please pick the car apart as we always do. laugh.gif

Buy it. Looks like a decent clean car. Has it been hit in the front or rear 15 times ?

Blacked out chrome?

Firewall pad removed and painted. Look like it has been gone thorugh at the very least
TheCabinetmaker
Yes, I think it has been gone through by someone with some knowledge.

Brad, I can't afford the ones I have, but If I did, this would be one I'd keep. I see very little work for a daily driver so far.
seanery
That looks like a decent car. Do you know the asking price? Anyone around here looking should at least consider that one.
TheCabinetmaker
Sean, so far it looks a very decent car. I'll know more about the price tomorrow after meeting with the owner. I see a lot of shit for sale. This is the nicest one I've seen in a while.

More tomorrow
