RUNS / DRIVES / STARTS / STOPS

There is a lot of detail below because I want you to know everything about this car so you can make a good purchase. I know I hated it when someone would only post 1 sentence... that tells you nothing. So here we go:

I bought this car with the dreams of restoring it... I started it but have run out of time :( The car was not running nor driving when I bought it... it is now!

Brand new fuel pump
I took the tank out and cleaned the "crud" from the tank and reinstalled it
New rubber fuel line hoses
Headliner is perfect (see pictures... not bad for a 1976 car)
All of the trim is in tact... I have the front bumper "bump stop"... it needs repair and put back on
The dash, console, and carpet are in great shape
The heater vent works
The clock works
All the lights work (blinkers, headlight, tail light)
It runs, drives, starts, stops fine
The tires are practically new with less than 500 miles
None of the glass is broken (which will save you tons of money)
Windows roll up and down fine
I think all of the plastic on the lights / tail lights / blinkers are in tact
Inside is super clean (which is different from needing some repairs)
The inside does NOT smell like mouse piss or rats... it clean
Its rear wheel drive (fun)
Automatic transmission


Hmm, I just realized this car sound really good on paper! You wont see this car at a local car show. If you want to get noticed and stand out, this will do it. While there will be camaro 's and mustang 's you'll be the one getting the attention because nobody will know what it is or have ever seen one. I get noticed and questions all the time about this weird odd quirky car. Surprisingly, parts are not hard to find! It reminds me of a Datsun 120/210 from the 1970's.


THE NOT SO GOOD... please look at the pictures and read below... I dont want to deceive anyone or have you let down when you see the car.

It needs body work. The worst is the passenger floor and you can see the picture of it (has my finger pointing towards it). There is a small hole in the drivers floor (see picture without my finger, lol). There is minor rust thru over the drivers wheel well that could be fixed with bondo if you like.

The previous owner patched holes on the rocker panels. Looks like he riveted some aluminum to the car and was going to bondo over it.

Drivers seat has torn where the stitching is. Passenger seat is surprisingly good! Rear seats are in great shape but the tops of them have lost the battle to the sun (see pictures).

Mechanically, this car CAN BE DRIVEN while you work on making her pretty again.
