It's a 73
Engine/drivetrain:
2.4
e-88
tripple webbers
header
mod. cam- don't know the specs
fresh 5-speed tranny
Suspension:
sway bars front-rear
euro-springs
struts??
eurothane bushings everywhere
strut tower brace in engine bay
Body:
very straight
one repaint
light rust around wheel wells
Interior:
rough
it's all there but pretty sun rotted
The guy who has it is a former z racer. It's been parked for almost four years. The odo reads 45,000 and he says he knows the car's original owner and those are the only miles on it. He put the tranny in it and drove it about twenty miles before he parked it. He said he knows the builder that modified the engine and that it's done right.
Tires are flat, no battery-- didn't drive it.
He is not trying to sell the car, could care less, so I'm not suspect of what he's telling me. In fact, I had to practically beg him to consider selling it to me.
So, considering all the mechanical is good..... what should I pay? This car needs a complete resto in body and interior. But it's all there, so maybe it just looks worse than it is after four years of sun and dust.
I just redid my 280 and it was in great condition compared to this car, so I know how much time &$$ this will take for body and interior. What really interests me here is the motor and suspension set-up. How much is this worth?
Give me some feedback, please.
Thanks
