Just wanted to update this cars status.
I now own it. I didn’t want to hassle with pulling the drivetrain and stripping the car so I just bought it. But since I have limited space, it needs to go. I’ve done my part in saving it (why, I don’t know) so someone else needs to take over. I checked the fluids, poured some fuel in the carb and hooked up and auxiliary fuel can. It fired right up and idled nicely! No smoke, knocks, ticks, bangs, clicks or any other internal problems. Has a slight exhaust leak on the driver side manifold but I think it’s the gasket. Brakes were dry so I added some fluid. The car stops but the system needs bled. Transmission goes into gear and goes down the road. Only went about 20mph due to the brake issue but it’s good enough to load on a transport.
$2500 firm price.
