‘72 tii in SoCal. Thoughts?

[72roundracer]

Saw this car on Craigslist and was wondering if anyone knew/had more info on the car.

Any input would be appreciated.

Plenty of potential. Doesn’t look quite like Baikal metallic to me, but color interpretations and photos vary. Does “model correct 2.0L” indicate the engine block is not original?

 

VIN 2761864 is likely a late May or early June 1972 car and it should, as it does, have plastic intake runners and no firewall notch.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

If it's as good as the seller represents, I'd buy it!  I would miss a sunroof though.  But that's just me.

It was on BAT a while back (same Seller by the way). Has a non tii block.

No firewall notch and no snotkle. Probably original nose. 

Front strut spacers still on top just like the owner in the 80s left em.

AC was a common dealer install for non-sunroof cars. (However, Paul, this car DOES have a sunroof....now ya gotta buy it)

 

Any history in the tii register?

Rob (hack mechanic) had it a few years ago on Ebay selling it for a friend. It was in TX in the '80s. Current Seller has been trying to sell it for a year.

Is that this video?  If so, may give some more details on the condition.
