Default Re: A car saving, money making, Idea

Sold!!!
The drivetrain is all original and # match. Still has the am radio in the dash, and it is not all cut up. Console is in good shape, albet with some funky 70's wood sticker on the console door. Correct Shifter is there, minus the ball. Exhaust manifolds are missing.
The air cleaner is in the trunk as well as the original carb. Flat hood car.
The subframe and frame rails, in fact the whole underside of the car is in much better shape than the ouitside (which as you can see is pretty rusty). What probably saved the underside is that the car has been on blocks above the ground for >25 years! All of the gas lines and brake lines are in good shape.
All of the rods are out of the right side of the engine. The oil looks ok, and there is not any metal in the oil pan. The engine turns freely by hand. This is my biggest concern, but looking good so far. I will know more once I get it home and pull the engine.

The car was originally code 76 yellow, with 711 black interior. So, it is a hot color combo. All of the RS stuff is there and intact (headlight washers, RS wiper motor) and the grill is in great shape. Of course, the hoses need replacing. Shows 37,000 miles and looks to be original (no wear on the pedals, interior etc) Gauges are in place and in good viewable shape (of course, don't know if they work or not).

Lots of rust in the rear body panels, especially the drivers side between the trunk lid and the quarter.

I am supposed to be able to talk to the original owner and am going to get some verification on the miles and exactly what went wrong with the engine when it was parked.

I will shoot some pics on Sunday when I get her home.
