I bought this 1970 parts car today. Door jamb sticker says it was produced February 1970, VIN indicates it to be approximately car number 3,500. It's been repainted and the interior has been reupholstered at some point. I think it's complete other than the rocker trim (lots of parts in boxes and trunk). Still has the original 1.7 with D-jet and tail shifter. It's fairly rusty for a California car; hell hole looks pretty bad, rust in fenders and floor. It was on jack stands in a garage for about 25 years until this morning.
Anyone have any thoughts on it? Is there anything special on these early cars that I should be sure to save? Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

I opened both doors, took the top off, and had a heavy guy stand on the passenger sill close to the bulkhead this morning. I measured from a point on the top of the targa bar to a point on the windshield frame, and my measurement only changed by 0.1 mm between no weight in the car and heavy guy on the sill. Seems like it should have flexed more than that with how rusty the long is, what do you all think?
