Vehicle Detail

Overall this car is in great shape for its age. The paint is original and is thin in some places, it does have spots of surface rust on the car. On the hatch lid under the fuel injection emblem is a small dent. The front jack points are in excellent condition. There has been minor repair around the grommet in the battery tray area. The interior is in good condition, but the passenger seat has a split on the back. Although the car is a 75, the fuel injection and sprint manifold has been replaced. The head and intake/exhaust manifold is from a 70 model, however, the engine has been upgraded with a Weber carb. The car runs great; the only problem is the transmission. When it warms up there is a hesitation going into reverse. Placing the shift selector into R and brake torquing the engine to 1500-1600 rpm is required to engage the gear. All other gears are fine and it does not have problems shifting while driving. Even though the fuel injection and sprint manifold have been removed the large brakes and clutch fan water pump are still there. New front brake shoes and an electric fuel pump have been installed. I wanted to swap the original drive train for a Buick V6 upgrade (available in a separate auction). Unfortunately, I have too many projects and this one has to go. Some extra parts will be included such as a used water pump with clutch, starter, alternator, and 63A GM alternator upgrade. The State of Georgia does not title cars this old, the wagon will be sold with a bill of sale.
