Less than 82 000 original miles.
$1 500 OBO. Engine alone is worth $1 000.
Transmission glass interior and just metal weight worth at least $500 if scrapped.
If you see this ad it's still available.
Two-barrel 273 V-8 3-speed TorqueFlite.
The good:
+Starts runs and stops reliably and strong. (That's saying something for a car almost 45 years old.)*
+Leaks no fluids.
+No known accident history.
+Effortless power steering.
+Nice warm heat in the winter.
+Headliner is in excellent condition.
+Good exhaust.
+All glass is intact.
+Most of interior is in very good shape (but driver's seat has fabric split at the sewing seams.)
+Meticulously documented paperwork on car's history and repairs from previous owner.
(He went over pretty much every aspect of the car in detail for repairs and since then I've put only a few thousand miles on it.)
The bad:
-Body is rough from the rust as seen in photos.
-Driver's side suspension is sagging and bounces (from front torsion bar rear anchor mount.)
-Suspected loose connection to fuel gauge sending unit (usually shows as if on empty. Probably ground strap.)
-*JUST recently developed a suspected carb malfunction requiring adjustment/rebuild. Starts reluctantly and idles too rough to drive. Not too surprising if the last time the carb was touched was over five years ago so this might be a periodic maintenance thing.
Comes with the thick detailed service manual and a few spare parts (including a starter fuel tank
float and speedometer.)
Has only needed carb rebuilt and master brake cylinder replaced during ownership.
Comes with factory air which will need a belt and likely a recharge.
(Typical quirks and glitches to be expected and tolerated with vintage engineering.)
Fenders can be sourced for ~$75.
Again has less than only 82 000 original miles. Lots of fun to drive with plenty of power (and
still not bad on gas.)
*I won't respond to simple/generic inquiries of "Is this item still available?" since this is a
typical spam response. Just
reply with your crossroads and/or phone number so I'll know that you're local and real. This helps
to filter out messages
from scammers (without this "human test" included replies will be assumed spam and ignored sorry
for the trouble.) Thanks!*
