Thanks Bud,
That's the issue.
Had the car since 1981.
Long story but here goes.
Bought the car on Whidbey Island WA. in may 1981.
I live in Vancouver B.C. & Canada had an import restriction on used cars from the US & those cars had to be at least 15 years old.
I got around it because my bro was in residence going to school at Western WA U.
We stored the car in WA till June of '81 when he paid a temporary importation bond till he returned in the fall of '81 with the car. Car was again stored till june of '82 when he relocated back home & could import the car as settlers possesions. hope your following this
Ok, so the cars here but he can't sell it for a year although I'm driving it with his insurance.
had lower ball joints installed at sears at 64000K.
Was married june of '82 car transfered & was brought to my residence June '83.
I tore up the nylon teeth on the cam gear (peice of
)at 67,699 miles.
Engine was pulled & front end dissasembled, intended on resto.
Body shop said I should replace quarters, driver door skin (has factory oilcan), fenders, header, grill & valance.
Had a friend at a GM dealer & bought ALL THOSE PARTS for $1500 CDN. Those were the days.
Mortgages Kids & the wifes spending habits kept the car in a garage till now.
Got my kicks goin' to swap meets for parts, ebay & here too.
What value does this car have as is?
orig engine trans & rear, brakes, carb, intake, alt, dated 15X6 rallys w/nos trim rings (sorry zedder!). Base z, marroon w/white stripes.
Black int w/console & guages all in good shape.
Needs ground up but would say I have majority of parts.
Wife says she drove the car for family pupose
Throw me some #'s gentlemen. The X says it's worth 20K USD as is.
