Drove all day to pick up another one. '71 with 36K miles on it. 10 foot repaint from orange to red - shiny. Has hellhole issues. The car is pretty much unmolested and the original interior is mostly pristine. I think it needs shocks and rear springs. My teenage daughter said it would be acceptable for her to be seen in the car. Car is to be a driver for at least the summer and then we'll decide where to go from there.

My wife always complained about the gas smell from this car so while I had easy access the the fuel lines, I stripped all the old lines and prepped for stainless and new hose. As you can see from pic 2, the old braided lines had seen better days. They tore off with very little pressure. Also found that when the PO had redone the gas tank (good), he kinked the overflow hose and let the end sit inside the gas bulkhead (bad).
