1974 coupe 350
Price = $7995
Location = Sacramento Ca (Rancho Cordova off Sunrise/Folsom)
Mileage = 132K
L82 Motor
Description: This car belongs to a customer, who is the original owner. The car was brought to us for some basic maintenance to get it road worthy and to store for the owner while he tried to sell it.
I rebuilt the carb, rebuilt the front calipers, and some minor misc. The car runs, drives well. It has been repainted at some point, the paint looks nice but has some orange peal and minor damage at the front as visible in the pictures below. Interior is decent and in the expected condition for the mileage.
The owner is doing a remodel on his house and asked me to store the car while he completes his remodel and tries to sell it. For questions or to view the car you can call the shop and speak with either Mark or Ed. The actual sale will be directly with the owner (we are not in the deal other than the mainenance and storage) but we will be fielding most of the questions and showing the car as a favor to the owner. Anything I don't know I'll find out.

Just a bump....
Don't let the lack of shiny valve covers scare you. The nice thing about a car like this is you know what you are getting. It is an un-molested car, everything is there and intact.
There are alot of cars out there that have been tinkered with for their entire lives and you will have to sort out all the previous "fixes". While some "bling" may be attractive on some cars, keep in mind that the items most people put on a car are inexpensive compared to the overall condition and maintenance of the vehicle.

We have not tried to smog the car. All the original equipment is on the car and the car runs well so smog shouldn't be a problem. As said above CA does not require smogging a 1974.
I don't know how the damage happened. I believe the bumper just got old and brittle and would not have needed much to crack it. Everything underneath is intact with no visible damage.
