Recently (Less than 2K miles ago) rebuilt from the frame up. Car is in like-new condition. New paint, original color (Pewter Silver). New interior (Black, Vinyl Seats). Ready to show.
I got under the car yesterday and took some pictures.
From the back looking to the front:

Behind Rear wheel (new trailing arms):
Under rear wheelwell (I haven't driven this car in the rain since the rebuild. New brake and fuel lines.):
Great looking car Jake, it looks like a bargain at that price. If I hadn't been set on certain options I would have bought it when you sent me pictures. I can't beleive it's still for sale; whoever buys it should consider themselves fortunate. Good luck with the sale.

Who did the restoration? For 2k miles on it, it looks pretty dirty under there. You have cracked bushings in the back, a rusty "new" exhaust system, etc.

Great job on the restoration. Did you rebuild the engine and drivetrain to factory specs?
I started to take the engine apart when I had it out of the car, but when I got into it I could tell that it had been rebuilt in the very recent past (I could still see where the cylinders had been honed). So, I just replaced gaskets and put it back together. I did replace the lifters and cam shaft (stock) as well as the timing chain and sprockets. I do not believe the engine has been bored or modified. Starts and runs great.
I didn't rebuild the manual transmission, but I did have a transmission shop replace the seals in it.
The seals in the differential were replaced, as well.
Jake72. Not that I can buy your car, because I already have a white 72' Coupe, I did want to pass on that the car is VERY nice, great colot, and, I must comment that I wish everyone did what you had with this.
You posed the sale, have details, lots of pics, and where the car is. (even one exterior pic was at least good). As an example I'm in GA so with what you posed, if I didnt have a car its a simple decision for me that you are close enough for a drive.......badda-bing-badda-boom. (no waiting for emails to return...... yadda yadda yadda)
(the ad's with no location, or "guess the price", no pics is a tad old").
So to you sir............. GOOD LUCK with the sale!!!!
