Looked at this car yesterday and am having a difficult time making a decision.
Inner wings look great. As the car has been repainted (some time ago) it's difficult to determine what might be underneath.
little rust showing at the rear of one door and at the front top edge of the ribbed extensions behind rear wheels; rockers great,
water (lots of rain here recently) under the front floor mats, but surprisingly no rust accumulation
strangenesses:
B20 engine with 67 one piece int/exh manifold (good!)
working replacement booster
engine strong
passenger seat has the exotic reclining hardware
was an automatic as the trans mount has extension arms which bolt to the body behind the normal mounting location (TYPE number on plate is 133461 - the 6 designationg BW35.
driver door is different - earlier wind wing hardware.
has earlier 2 bolt carbs and ancient air filters.
I'm torn - I wish that it hadn't been repainted so that all was revealed, but of what I can see the body is very good - trunk clean in serams and corners; spare tire well.
It's almost not a matter of offering less - want the best possible body.
almost new michelins 165
how to decide?
