Series One! This car is a super desirable first year car. It was built in 9/70, but is titled (and was probably sold as) a 1971. It's car number 10161, and has most design features of the early cars. Its a very nice car.

Selling points: Very dry car. Very little rust.

The car sat for about 2.5 yearsLeaks a few drops of oil from the engine - not rear main seal The body shows a little wavy here and there if you look for itThe interior was tan, but previous owner changed the door cards and seats and dyed the rest black. You can see a little tan here and there (see pictures) Non-original steering wheel, which is nice, but I prefer OE stuffFront fenders have been rolled under at the front bottom (there are pics)Non-original stereo (which works just fine)I am happy to work with shippers to get the car to you. Cash is definitely preferred, but I will also accept a direct bank transfer. The car will not be released until I have the payment in full. Salt Lake City is the current location of the car, which is well located for easy shipping, right on both I-80 and I-15. Feel free to ask any follow-up questions or request additional photos. Inspections in person are encouraged as well. It's a very nice example of a series 1 car, which can be enjoyed as is, or a fantastic base for a full restoration.
