[Mike Self]

Early '76, looks pretty nice from the description with a $14k "negotiable" asking price.

Looks good, but needs underneath shots.

 

Take off that stupid pouch thing where the ashtray goes.

 

Man, those rear fender tubs look beatup!

+1

 

On both the “pouch” and the terrible rear wheel well repairs! If the latter represents the work of the person who prepped the car for its repaint, I’d be worried about what lies under that paint... ?

Spend another $4k and get something VERY worthwhile:

+1, again!

 

Like all ‘02’s, needs a careful underside inspection. And don’t bank on that paint being original: besides a replaced nosepiece, there’s no body schutz on the quarter panels, between the rear wheel wells and the rear lower valance (first and second photos) — the rockers and lower nosepiece, which should also have body schutz, are not visible in the photos provided.

 

The last photo shows my bought-new ‘76, before its Big Re-Paint, illustrating the great care the factory lavished on the schutz application... not! ?

 

Oh, yeah: not a fan of the two-tone seats in this application... ?

 

Why are you reading this rambling drivel, tii buyers, you should be on your way to Landsdowne?

 

Regards,

 

Steve

This one was for sale for $43k earlier this year, and has been reduced (now) to $18k. May not be a steal as it's also an East Coast car that has had a little bodywork done.

You are amazing, Les!

 

Look: it’s got a little secret storage compartment in the right rear wheel well, disguised with that original paint! ?

 

Best regards,
