Needs full resto and is missing air cleaner and wheel covers, but engine is said to be correct...
Well...that didn't last long! "Auction ended early because the item is no longer available." Wonder who snagged it???
Never mind...it's been relisted. I don't see any significant difference in the listing. Strange...
Some quotes from the listing make me wionder:
"Condition of original material is unknown"
"Rust is evident in the rocker panels under the doors, rear quarter panels and bottoms of front fenders. Rust is not bad but does need repair."
"Vehicle is not available for inspection."
Note the Firedome headlight doors and the super rare triple antenna option. The starting bid seems optimistic. Caveat emptor!
Have a nice day

PS, the triple antenna option did not exist.
Yeah, that would be interesting to see in person.
The carpeting isn't the black trinidad (from appearances). The rear antennaes are aftermarket. I don't see any clips on the wheels for the Adventurer wheel covers. The grill is silver, and should be gold.
Hey, it's got a horn on the passenger side of the radiator core. I need that.
It's supposed to be fun!
