My brother and I went over yesterday to bring it home. Sadly, it's still there. I got the exhaust and the starter problems fixed, but it bucks and heaves when its being driven down the road. Not sure what is going on there. But at 5:00 p.m. and a five hour drive back home...I put it in storage and headed home.
The previous owner said it sat under a tree for many years and that the owner wouldn't sell it. One day the guy called and said that his computer died and if Steve (owner before me) would fix the computer he could take the car.
Since then he, rebuilt the carb, clutch, distributor (which I suspect is the causing the bucking and heaving), and put new tires on it.
There's no rust (except the rear springs which have surface rust) to be found anywhere on the car. The interior is exceptionally nice. With a good scrubbing it should look like new! I was told that the car had about 80,000 miles on the odometer...it actually has a little over 28000. With little to no wear on the pedals, and with the condition of the interior and the undercarriage....I would lean towards 28000 not 128000.
Not bad for $600.00.
