skyblue Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Long story short, my GF bought the 4dr 510 420n620 was selling. It's a 1972, AT all original. Needs some love, but it runs and stops. Wont take much to get it to DD status for her. Here's a couple pics from the CL ad to hold you guys over.And some more from the ad.Numbers matching engine!Originally an Idaho car I believe. I guess it gets pretty wet up there. Lol. 4 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Awesome. Wondering who ended up with that. Kim said it was a Ratsun guy, but was hush-hush on who. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Yea it was me, or rather my lady. She's excited. It's almost ready for the road. It's insured, dmv'd. Fixing a few minor things. Getting exhaust done tomorrow if all goes well. 2 Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Yea I was actually surprised it hadn't sold when I contacted him. Such a great deal! CA prices are retarded. Its nice to know there are still fair honest deals around. Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 yea, drove it for the first time to the muffler shop today. feels underpowered and exhaust smells rich. thinking i might just get a 32/36. put 5gals of fuel in and i could smell it in the car. gonna definitely need to do the fuel filler hose mod. also, the brakes will need some attention. 2 Quote Link to comment

Glad YOU got it, Micheal! Believe me I would love to. But we're trying to keep this one economic. Lol. Thanks. I will do good by it. Things I've fixed so far: - brake lights - turn signals - matching wheels and tires (stock steelies with my old hubcaps) - fuel gauge - battery hold down - rear and side view mirrors - added a spare 4 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I would just buff it out and roll it the same color with the rust. Slam it down Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Where's the car from. We got it from east Washington. But I think it was originally an Idaho car. dude I'm stoked for you guys! Me and my girl watched that CL as quite a bit haha glad it went to a good home! :) Thanks!! I would just buff it out and roll it the same color with the rust. Slam it down That's the plan. Except won't be slamming it. Gotta make it a comfy ride for her. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Lol. Idaho is 2 blocks away from where the car was stashed. Clarkston, WA and Lewiston, ID. 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted July 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Nice. Got nice new exhaust yesterday. It's so much nicer and quieter. I also put the stock hubcaps on from my 510. Pretty big improvement. The front brakes took a shit at the muffler shop. But, I was at least able to get it home with rear brakes. Definitely sketchy to say the least. Getting close to road readiness tho. Just gotta fix the brake and throw a weber on. 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 This will be at blue lake then? Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Staying automatic? Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted July 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Doubtful it will go to blue lake. But possibly canby 2017. It will stay auto. My gf doesn't drive a stick so she wanted an automatic. 1 Quote Link to comment
