Good running car. New stock carb, new radiator, new brake pads. Daily driver. California car. I have had the car for two years, and it is running the best it has since then. Passed smog with no trouble two years ago -- hasn't come up since. Always gets compliments. Could be great for smaller investment. Cosmetic issues: cracked dash (I have dash cover), oxidized clear coat making sections of the paint dull; cracked and chipped paint on the bumper; seats beat up and split (I have nice seat covers, which I can either install myself or toss in); missing a few chrome pieces (easily replaceable and available on eBay). Only problems mechanically are leaks: it leaks a little oil, but not in a way that worries me for a 36 year old car. Leaks coolant, I believe from one of the hose connectors: I had the radiator replaced and I believe one of the hoses isn't quite snug. As a result, when driving in 100 degree heat a few weeks ago, it overheated. But started right back up with a bit of time to cool off. A/C does't work. Neither does the fan switch or motor, but heat and defrost worked before that conked out. Original radio with tape deck works, and I'll throw in a copy of Night Moves on cassette. Also have a tow hitch for it that I removed. Shop manuals included. Odometer reads 49,000: I assume it has turned over. Buyer to arrange shipping. Local pick up welcome. Car is in Oakland, CA. Deposit required on purchase.On Oct-02-14 at 20:25:48 PDT, seller added the following information: New stock carb, new radiator, new brake pads. Daily driver. California car.

I believe there is something wrong with the cooling system that I haven't the time nor the inclination to investigate. So, I have dropped the reserve and the Buy It Now prices. Get it while it's hot.
