Vehicle Detail
Got this from a neighbor recently. It ran until the rearend went out then when donor car rear went in it was dicovered the yoke is bigger , so there it sat. It's on a non-op and the title is in hand. Now before we go any farther it has "SALVAGED" in the history. I think it was done at one point to get out of the back fees. It was definately never wrecked, and time and money was spent to revise it, so that's what I know on that. Now if you are still interested this one has the original 170 with auto trans and it runs real well. It's in unrestored original condition as far as I can see. There are some small rust spots behind the rear tires as shown in the photos. There is a spot in the passenger floor too, not huge and the metal feels solid and thick right around it. There is a scrape in the passenger side. The rest of the car is good and solid. The trim is all there and in fair shape. Needs a window in the passenger quarter ( flat glass ). The door panels need to be restored, the cardboard is still there for a patern if needed. The trunk lock is in the trunk needing to be re-keyed. The wheel on the back passenger side is the wrong one. You could restore this car easily or get a hybrid u-joint and register it to drive. I hope I have put in enough info to get started. Thank you for looking
