Car needs body work and interior work. It also needs a wheel alignment on all four tires and the car needs to be gone over before driving.

Original color was Steel Cities Grey with black interior. Headlight buckets are on car, only hoses were removed. Everything else is there except carpet. I do not have the original air cleaner. I will see if I have any birdcage photos. Thanks.

Paul,

At some point was the body off? How id the frame? the birdcage pics would be nice. When you disassembled did you take pics of everything? how far is it from running? Sorry for all the questions...

paul1972

The body was never pulled off frame. I cleaned the surface rust with wire wheel and grinder. I used Ospho to etch metal and Eastwood black frame paint. Anything that was removed was sandblasted, etched and painted with Eastwood Ceramic black. Frame looks really good and had no rot that I could see. The pics for windshield frame pics are blurry and I am going to get newer photos asap. *$ 8500 takes the car with everything I have for it. Car runs very well and needs a wheel alignment to be road worthy.
I do not have the rally wheel caps and trim rings.
Thanks Paul

Paul,

These pics are good, it looks like some repair work was done on the birdcage? Is that just surface rust? You did some great work with everything else! How are the interior parts? Does it need vacuum hoses? I wish I could check it out in person but I live in FL. I don't want to run into any rust problems. Do you have a front shot? Any other opinions folks on this 72?

paul1972

The windshield frame pics are from last year. I never had the windshield out. It is surface rust with the passenger side being the worse. I really didn't see any repairs. I drove the car the car for 2 years before doing the suspension work and it drove very well. Here are some older pics.
I have the hoses, but all were dry and cracked. The lights never went up or down, neither did the wiper access door. The vacuum tank is there and looked very good, not rust. I removed exhaust manifolds, sandblasted, painted. new alternator, belts, hoses, all new e brake components. i have new seat belt braces for under floor board(not installed) I have center console, not installed. The passenger seat track looks pretty crusty, did not reinstall that seat. Have all interior trim, no carpet. Thanks Paul

Looks like a great project.


Good price for a Chrome Bumper car!

Well, since no one was really interested in the car I found a garage to store the car. Thanks to all who asked !
