You also need to remove that brace to access the inner seat bolts on bucket seat cars in order to remove the seats. The seats were probably out at one point to replace the original loop type carpeting with the cut pile carpeting found in it now (as seen on the other site's photos).
The bent core support also stood out. But I checked pics of a couple other 69-73 and they were also bent, including last one I owned. Maybe its commonly misused as a jacking point.
@saforwardlook said recently it was more important to him to restore a car, versus what it would sell for (paraphrasing), so I told him I'd bring the standard $2500 to his house and pick something out.
You’re getting as bad as @Ripinator@saforwardlook said recently it was more important to him to restore a car, versus what it would sell for (paraphrasing), so I told him I'd bring the standard $2500 to his house and pick something out.
He hasn't replied yet, so I guess I'll get $3500 in an envelope and visit you instead?
I already have persons lined up to buy most of my cars, unsolicited. IF I was to decide to sell one, I would choose between who would make the best caretakers and who provides the top bid and who was first to inquire among other considerations. What I really was trying to say is that what matters most to me is that I am pleased with the restoration efforts and what I can sell it for is really far down on the list of importance. I probably would not sell most of my cars anytime soon, with a few exceptions to some folks I already have agreements with, until I am needing to thin things out when my time comes near to exit this world, so as not to burden my trustee with the ensuing mess any more than necessary. He has most of my list already although some updates are necessary. Folks that like to do burnouts probably would not be considered............................@saforwardlook said recently it was more important to him to restore a car, versus what it would sell for (paraphrasing), so I told him I'd bring the standard $2500 to his house and pick something out.

I don't know him well enough to know the extent of that, but regardless, a guy must strive for something.You’re getting as bad as @Ripinator
That's a car-guy's version of 'I wouldn't sleep with you if you were the last guy on earth'!I already have persons lined up to buy most of my cars, unsolicited.

Because you have to pull the torsion bar to replace the boot. Lot of effort for a ripped boot. I have seen worse… but not for 20 grand.
It's not that hard for a right mechanic (NOT TECH
).
Yes, but call around town and let us know how many of those mechanics you find?It's not that hard for a right mechanic (NOT TECH
