The car looks well cared for to me...it will come down to price in the end...I would read all the comments on bat as they have a lot of sharp eyed fellows who look a every screw...no matter what there will be things to address it’s not going to be a Honda think more of it as a hobby...
Paul...this Barney Toler I'm in austin Texas I wanted to touch base and get your view on value of a 74 baur targa in 8 out of 10 shape...I've been looking and have found one I like...and want feel I'm not way off market price...
Don't worry about the transmission at this time...body work / engine work...the transmission is not that hard to address one way or the other after the engine is back in car and running...
graymustang...from the picture provided and from your input, your best bet is to order a new weber from Pierce manifolds (mike) 408-842-6667....around $200 will save you a lot of time and trouble.
