I’ve owned the car since fall of 2004. I purchased it from a gentleman in MN (listed it in Hemmings) and who claimed to be the second owner. I’ve had the car in storage since 2004 due to being active duty military and having multiple deployments (I’m currently stationed in S. Korea; the car is in America). I can literally count on two hands the amount of times I’ve driven it. I do have family that look after the car and start/drive it at monthly intervals. It is drivable but there is a few kinks that need to be addressed so this is a car that needs/deserves to be trailered.
What I did to the car during ownership around 2005 – Fuel Pump, Carb rebuild (official Holley Kit), Brake pads/shoes, bled the brakes, new rear brake cylinders, new trans clutch (stock style).
Issues: The Speedometer cable is disconnected (was when I purchased it) so the actual mileage is questionable but looking at the interior, the majority of the body panels, and under the car (i.e. floor pans have scale rust – no major holes or damage)…you can see the car is solid hasn’t been torn apart or run through like the majority you find from 70-73. That is pretty good as it’s from the North West. The radiator has a leak at/around the inner right top area and its leaking (hence the spatter marks in/around the engine). I think for the most part it can be repaired to salvage the original radiator. The Muncie could use a seal kit – leakage due to age/sitting. Power steering pump is not with vehicle.
I want to say this is as close to a “barn-find” as you can get. I say that because the car has its ORIGINAL Goodyear Polyglas tries to include its spare (see picture) plus the prior owner also apparently stored it during ownership. **Disclaimer of the week - I’m not an ASE mechanic; just an enthusiast, and I’m giving the best description possible based off my ownership of this and past muscle cars of the era. I purchased the car while I was single…I now have a family and still going 1000 MPH in the military so I have no friggen time whatsoever to do anything with this car (I feel like crying…for joy of course). If you want more pics I can/will provide a few more if you message me though Ebay.
Shipping: The car is located in Eastern MT….I suggest finding a decent shipper if the winner is unable to pick it up in person and my family can assist somewhat in the process.
Payment: Full payment 72 hours after auction ends and from there I’ll expedite title to owner and arrange pick up. Please assure funds prior to bidding, thanks.
