rebuilder X1/9 at Rocklin Pick-n-pull

[mikeroten]

this one looks pretty darned good. I wouldn't put it up here if it wasn't.
writing on the window says it's a 76
interior is actually presentable! engine bay looks like it sat under a tree for a long time but is complete.
car is originally red, too

I'm guessing at the Pick-n-Pull. In Rocklin, CA? I was wondering the same thing - until I read the thread title.

I looked at this red X this morning. It is January 1976 production. Car is very straight with respect to panel gaps. Original paint was rosso arancio. It is painted red which looks like it was painted 10 years ago and then stored inside. Paint is in good condition and there is some poor masking of the trim present. The fresh paint job makes me think there may be surprises hidden inside. No rust on floor or at base of windshield. rust bubbling inside P/S door on frame rail (possibly cosmetic). Rust thru at top of PS front fender thru to next layer of structure. This car has a sticker on the windshield that makes me think it lived at the ocean in a salt air environment. It is missing the shift lever and shift tube and the clerk advised me it has 'no transmission'. It has the transaxle in the car and the engine compartment looks complete except for the aftermarket air cleaner. If someone buys this, I have both a rebuilt engine and transaxle for sale. I have pics, but Xweb error message says they are too big to attach.

And I have a shift lever and shift tube. How about that? With that and Johnph's stock, someone in NorCal could have a cool car for small money.

 

[mikeroten]

sweet!

Looks pretty good. However, I have to say, this is one model where even I would do the bumper delete! It would look sweet at that point.

I have an inexpensive set of single tier crash bumpers as pictured. $15 Parts are in Sacramento, CA.
