As some of you may remember, last year I inheriated a 1973 from the original owner. The car has 10000 original miles and still has the original Arrivas and the original state inspection sticker on it. The car had not been run in a number of years so rather than take chances, I decided to go thru it properly. In the last few months I have invested over $17K in parts and labor. The engine was removed and cleaned, painted and detailed. The following components were also replaced; gas tank,cooling tubes/lines,water and fuel pump,radiator, gaskets,dist. update,carb rebuild, trans serviced and engine compartment detail. Tires are being replaced this week. This is just a partial list.
The interior of the car is black and shows like new. Its hard to believe its 35 years old. There are a few MINOR body dings which I will try and have removed also. The yellow paint is in really great condition.
My buddy left this car to me for a reason, and I am sad to say that I cant see it thru. I think the best thing for me to do is get it into the hands of someone who will give it the love it needs,which is why I'm offering it here first. The car is about 90% complete and I will give a better assessment next week after we fire it up.
I guess I'm gauging interest for now. I've attached a picture so you can get an idea of what it is. Contact me if you would like further info. Car is in NJ.
