Buddy recently sold a 75 or 76 Brown over tan auto base motor 2800 miles, registered and driven 100 miles +/- every year - still had the 70's replacement tires on the car from the recalled firestone tires with the recall paperwork. BAT 30k.

Ceptor, as noted there is much here to show the car is not "pristine" but, as you said, that word alone raises everyone's expectations. It looks like a very nice car that just needs some sorting. It's worth $5K all day long my friend. Hope you can close the deal.

thanks Greg, it looks to be a nice original, hopefully when I get to see it myself and inspect it, that it will be a win win

...I do not believe it has one by looking at the pics. It appears the engine was running during this pic and I think what you are seeing besides the main alt pulley is the fan spinning behind it, kind of looking like another pulley.

I noticed that after I posted. Also before I got my new glasses, had to have a prism on both lenses due to double vision....sucks getting old. Very impressive '75 that Grady purchased.
