Vehicle description
This British Classic needs a new home with a enthusiast who values all the work put into it butalso wants to have some fun making it even better. It is substantially gone through. I have a HUGE amount of time/money in this car but am going VW. Got it from my step-fathers estate, towed it across the country, finally got it fixed up but other projects beckon. . . Current title (La) shows "78 but previous (Wash) showed "76, I believe it"s really a "76. A very tidy install of Ford 302 (rebuilt at install), C-4 trans (rebuilt 5-17), and 8" rear end, only 1160 mi. on the conversion as far as I know. Custom radiator with dual electric fans. Dual exhaust with a very nice rumble!
Good things: Edelbrock Manifold Holley 550 Pointless ignition New front brake pads New urethane subframe and suspension bushings New competion springs New anti-dive modification New 225/45ZR16 tires and alloy wheels New fuel sender New electric fuel pump installed at tank New headlight relays and switch Stereo with electric antenna, not connected Rear spoiler Rear battery installation with remote battery switch on rear bulkhead behind passenger seat New air filter assembly New valve covers New radiator catch tank Comes with manual and a few spare parts Hood scoop All lights work Interior is in surprisingly good condition for a 40 year old car! Balance of the car is not as bad as you would expect. With 100 lb of bags or ballast in the trunk and both seats filled, weight distribution is only about 54% nose heavy. . yes, I weighed it.
The not so good: Could use paint but it"s not so bad that it has to be painted. Depends on you. I was going to spray it in flat or satin blue like a rat rod The spare tire well is rusted through at the front, otherwise, not much It could use a front spoiler. I cut off the valance because it was bent. I couldn"t find a spoiler/air dam I liked in the USA, so you can choose!
The odometer reads 1160.2. I got it with 500 miles on it. I believe the conversion was done and the odometer zero"d or bought new at that time. The 80000 miles listed is just a guess. Many of the mileage sensitive parts on this car have been replaced
I have a rebuilt spare 302 block, heads, used pump/pickup, and used cam that I will sell separately if wanted. Car can certainly be driven home but it"s loud and windy. . . .
Please ask your questions before bidding. I will answer everything I can
