I had a 70 that had a dual port 1640, Zentih carb, 010 distributor and a Engle 110 cam. that was a fun car! I had a blast on beating up on small block V8's with a auto trans up to about 60. Lucky bastard!

here are some pictures the guy sent
car looks really clean
and here is a nifty thing instead of cutting up the car to add a radio back in the late 70's early 80's the original owner got of of these he calls it a "sound bar" it sits behind the rear
seat
you can just smell the 70's from that thing. i am going to see what size the speaker openings are and probably get some new modern ones as i bet though are dry rottedOriginally posted by Remy-Z;n1167534Congratulations, man.

well grabbed most of the parts could not get the main body do to uhual being booked out and college move in week
first off in person car is pretty clean and has some nice NOS parts form when the guy was going to put it back together in 84
the car was a BAJA before the guy got it in 73 he decided to turn it back into a standard sedan in 84 and paint it..... the paint is horrible LOL
still has the off road seats and the front and rear are still raised
over all though i am amazed int eh shape it is in and should come togeather real quick
need to figure out where all the body seals go as they are not labeled just says part number and germany

Revell for big kids! What's wrong with the paint? Cut and buff?

i figure i'll see what color it ends up being after the first wash LOL
they also missed some interior areas as well. i think i'll just toss it together with it;s current paint and just blow it a part later when it gets really bad
color is also a very expensive porche color formt he 60's soooooo color match is not going to happe nLast edited by Mater; August 6, 2017, 07:21 PM.Originally posted by Remy-Z;n1167534Congratulations, man. You've just inherited the "Patron Saint of Automotive Lost Causes" from me. No question.
