1976 280 in Dallas - project - $500

I bought it about a year ago for $1,000. When I got it, it had been sitting for 3 years, but I changed the oil, coolant and hoses, fuel, and it started. The engine sounded very good but the carburetor was overflowing, so I had the carb rebuilt ($300-have the receipt). Put the carb back on, still started but was still overflowing, so I suspect that it needs a new needle valve. The newly rebuilt carb is now sitting on the driver floorboard (pictured), and probably just needs a needle valve. The carb on the engine in the pictures doesn't go with it, it's just one I threw on there out of curiosity of how it would run. The intake manifold has a messed up bolt hole for the carb mount on one of the 4 corners. It is still usable when a nut and bolt are used on that corner. I had it installed this way with no vacuum leaks. This car isn't far from driving and it has a clear title. The battery in the picture also doesn't fit, it's from one of my diesels.

Body and interior:
Very straight body, some door dings and hail dings. Paint polishes out decent, not great. Almost no rust. Little bit of rust at bottom of the driver rear quarter panel, and a rust hole at the front of the passenger front floorboard. Floorboards are otherwise totally rust free from what I can tell. Interior is rough. Padding inside the seats is dead, feels like you're sitting on springs. And the springs are shot. Some tears in the MBtex. Carpet in pretty bad shape too, headliner falling in rear, wood on dash needs re-varnishing.

Sunroof works, 3 windows work (driver front doesn't). Hubcaps are included (pictured) and in decent shape.

Comes with some spare parts and lots of maintenance history. Firm on the price.
