Seller Write-Up
So this car’s 40 years old, but it’s a fun little ride. It turns heads whether it’s from people that don’t know what it is or people that had one back in the day (or people who think it’s the ugliest car ever). I bought it to keep it from getting scrapped and just don’t enjoy it like I used to. I’m asking $2k obo or trade if you have something neat. I like cars, trucks, and motorcycles.
The good: It runs and drives fine as long as you keep expectations realistic, I’ve had it drive 70 on the interstate with no problem. I swapped out the stock carb for a Weber carb kit, I still have the stock carb and two air cleaners for it that are included. It also has T-tops which are just pretty darn cool.
The bad: Unfortunately due to its age she does have a fair bit of rust, a few dents and dings, and you have to know what you’re doing to get the hood up. Parts aren’t super easy to come by unless you know where to look. It does need some exhaust work but isn’t too loud now without a muffler.
