Well,
I got the car home, finally! Put in new battery cables tonight, I'll post pics of the car tomorrow.
I have spent the past 2 hours tearing through the stacks of paperwork the seller gave me, but never really went through. It's pretty upsetting, turns out the car doesn't have 78,000 miles on it, but instead it appears to be 178,000...which doesnt make sense at all. The body is good shape, minus the seat covers. The engine is great, pulls strong and drives very well.
I have located all the previous owners and am calling them tomorrow to put together a story line, I found the very first registration tag, registered to a man born in 1931, looked him up and he's still alive according to Yellow pages! Can't wait to call around tomorrow.
Any thoughts on the high milage? That pretty much kills the value of this car...
One reciept shows alot of head work done to the car, all new valves, 3 angle valve job, etc etc. pretty cool..
