Nice find. IMO, if you like doing the work, buy a beater and fix it up. My budget is $5k for mine.

Brakes are new. But control arm bushing, sub frame bushings, springs, seals (everywhere, motor, bearings, tranny, diff), window felt, door seals on and on are 45 years old.

Low miles means it sat. Seals dry out. Start running it and it starts leaking.

But, if you don't want to do the work, it's nice. Do little things as you go.

Unless they can document the low miles, I'm guessing Odometer probably rolled over once = 134k miles.

Always leery of a car for sale that still has the temp tags on it.

And I highly doubt the mileage claim.

Nice looking car, I love my 72 220 gas.

Pity it's not a stick-shift.

Happy Motoring, Mark
