I own your beast. It is for sale now. It runs fine. It has new exhaust
valves. I am expecting about $1700.00 the way it sits now. It has origninal
paint (dented in places), it has original stripes (faded in places), it has a
God-awful orange interior minus a sliding door panel and the seat covers are
pretty much history. There's enough there for a good upholsterer to make
copies though. It has orange carpet, orange tire cover, orange corduroy seat
covers, and orange wheels. It has fuel injection. It needs a rear brake job
due to a very slight leak in the right rear wheel cylinder. It still drives
fine anyway. It has the rust thing going on around the windshield, but can
be repaired fairly easily.
It is sitting out by the highway with a for sale sign on it now. Do you want
to drive off in it? Or are you going to let some wannabus that doesn't even
have the decency to belong to this list drive it home? >:-O
