Have a rusted out '73. Has a solid motor and transmission. It drives but the carburetor needs tuning, it bogs right off idle pretty bad, and backfires sometimes. The ignition lock jammed so now I just start it using the ignition switch. I use to drive the car back and forth between college and home, which was a 2.5 hour drive and it never gave me any issues. When I bought it (October of last year) the motor reportedly had 8000 miles on it. The body is very rusted and to be honest, I think it would be best to swap the drive-train into a solid shell. I'm not doing that because I currently don't have the resources or time to do so. The car comes with a Bob Sharp racing intake manifold, and Holley 390 carburetor, which is a fairly rare 70's era performance piece. The tires it currently has are in nearly brand new condition, with less than 300 miles on them. The exhaust on the car consists of homemade 6 into 2 headers and that's pretty much it.(it's loud). The dash has a few cracks, there is absolutely no interior to speak of, no passenger side floor or seat and rust everywhere. Buyer is responsible for pickup. The car is a hoot to drive and gets attention everywhere I go. If you want I can email you videos of it running and at idle. Text questions to 417-393-5389
