With 10k miles, the service history should be a short read, and a tb/wp job - why - did they just deteriorate through no use ?

I guess you're right, but if (truely) the "service on the vehicle has been kept up" I see it as a driver. Garage/hangar queens are rarely drivers unless they are relatively new. IMHO...

Reminds me of the '79 "tract house" car.

I sure helped **** that guy off.

Remember Greg's warning about head/cylinder corrosion from sitting.

On the other hand, it didn't appear to affect Blue82 found with 3300 ish miles.

Doesn't look like a lot of history is out there, but some of it looks good.

Looks to me like an interesting car, maybe only nice early one to show up this year, and at a realistically fair price. Those who want and do not buy will suffer remorse.

Not driven does not mean good as new, by a long shot.

Carry on.

Glad it is a 5spd car or I'd buy it! Despite the baby poop brown color that I am not overly fond of... Still want a Kermit Green '78 BAD...Oh and the Geneva White/Red car too...if its an auto anyway!

That green car reminded me of our family room in the 70's every time I saw it. Wouldn't matter if that car was from the showroom floor, my sorry butt would have painted with rattle cans if necessary.

The same old tired, worn out, kind of thread that always brings on the same comments by the same people.

I say,



C'mon Danny boy, give it a rest already.......

To the OP; nice find and thanks for sharing.
