71 coupe MN 12K
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hn...465211863.html
Found this local on craigslist. I'm not into 71's or would be all over this. Went to look at it today. It was originally green didn't look at code tag and was a small block car according to the seller. However, it was a frame off resto all the hard work has been done. Looks like most of the suspension bushings are new. Frame was sandblasted and painted. I didn't hear it run but he claims it has only been started a couple times since rebuild. Was rebuilt by a local shop. Paint was done needs to be rubbed out and some touch up around headlight doors. Much new in regards to wire harness and vacuum lines from the firewall forward. Looked like new tail light assemblies in the back as well. New fuel tank and lines. Most of the brake system was replaced. Has no power brakes but has power steering. Glass good, however windshield trim not installed so don't know if there are fit issues there. Glass looked good. He has a lot of new parts. Needs hood as the small block hood he has doesn't have enough clearance for the carbs. Has hooker sidepipe hedders but no mufflers. Most of the weatherstripping has been replaced except for the rear window.
I think the car is a good deal for the price and the seller is a real nice guy. If you have questions, give him a call.

Thanks for the replies I agree. A good deal at least in my mind. He has documention and receipts for many of the parts that were bought. Even has aim and noticed a spec label for the cam that was purchased from summit. Also noticed aftermarket distributor had mechanical tach drive, but cable missing. If you are close, give him a call and take a look at what he has.
