True Classic
I'll try to make this brief. Financial crisis is forcing the sake of my beloved X. Most here know of the car and have seen it first hand. As mentioned it's a 1300. The car had 39k original miles on it, body is strait and very nice paint, car was stripped for a bare metal respray in 08-09, steel wheels wrapped in very good Sumi's and KYB's at all 4 corners. motor has a built a performance head from Matt Brannon/Midwest-Bayless with 34/34 DATR on 1500 manifold and exits through a 4 to 1 header with custom piping into a quad tipped Empi exhaust with only 4 k on all the above. Other features are the much coveted insertable headlight mod by Bob Brown, 11.5-12in vintage steering wheel, recolored/refurbed seats. Interior is very tidy, but was my next area of restoration. Belts tensioner and water pump replaced last year and also have only 4k on them as well. Motor also has new plugs, wires, cap and
points. I have everything needed for an electronic dizzy swap and was planning to do this in the spring. Parts for swap are dizzy, discharge box, cap, rotor, wiring harness & hardware. And will be included if full asking price is reached. The best part of the car had to be the extensive history of service and parts. This was done mostly by me, but also has some very great bits from the PO (2nd owner) and even has the original Dealer Title from the first owner purchasing it in 1978!!
Now for the bad: it's not running. Last winter I tore the engine apart at around 34k and with the help of Dave May, rebuilt the engine for s performance stand point with the parts above. After running for about 4k miles the new head gasket blew. I suspect this was due to s too lean of carb setting. I then took the engine apart again and replaced the head gasket and reassembled it. I believe timing is what is holding this car back as it was running after but very poorly and not generating enough spark to even power the timing light to fix this issue. The only other issue is slight damage to the scallop and chin spoiler from a tow dolly. These issues are extremely trivial and minor. THE ONLY reason I'm selling and especially at such a loss is bec with non steady work/pay I now face not making rent this month and my X is the only asset I own
any $ made from the sale will goto rent and bills and hopefully provide a nest egg so I'm not in this position next month while I secure steady employment. Asking $2500 Obo
