    no problem

    I'll take some pics for you tomorrow James.
    In the mean time, try to figure out a weekend you can come up here to pick it up if you end up liking it.
    It's in good running order last I knew, but it has been parked for a while since the heater core went.
    Needs a tranny mount.
    She also has that along with brakes.
    I'll post the pics tomorrow.

    Jeez, the prices of these cars is either skyrocketing, either that or I just got lucky. Bought both of my 2 doors, one a 250 auto, the other (and first one) a 200 3 speed. Both were straight and only the '74 (the 250 auto) was the only one to have rusty floorboards, but that's an easy fix. The other one, which is the the bracket car, only had around 48,000 miles on it. It had been sitting since 1984, and I did not feel like cleaning the fuel system. Both got their engines yanked in favor of more power of course. Gave $100 for the first one, and the guy even delivered it to my house, and $250 for the '74. Drove it 40 miles home with no problems..though picking it up was quite an experience:p

    Don't buy a "rust-bucket" at ANY price unless you're just gonna use it for parts...

    That does look way better then that thing i almost got......i realy like the looks of it. i am very interested in it and its alot closer and easier to pick up....i can do 600 if you are willing to let me smooth some money things out first. it shouldnt take more than a week or two. I will figure out a time that i can come up there too. thank you for you help Ray. its very appreciated.
