sdsurf Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 As many have you seen or known I have been madly trying to sell parts to get some extra cash. Well here is the reason. I found the cleanest 521 I have ever seen on craigslist a few weeks ago. Original owner, bought in alhambra (so cal) original paperwork, manual, warranty book, all registrations, etc. Body is basically perfect, interior is immaculate. Uncut dash, recovered dash pad, speaker, parcel tray, steering wheel... Thanks to John (Datrod) for helping me out. and: Quote Link to comment

sdsurf Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 The engine situation is this. The guy who had it was clueless about engines and had dropped a z series mated to the stock tranny. That is as far as he got, no motor mounts, no exhaust, nothing. The engine bay is fine, totally stock and fine. The engine in the back is the original L-16 which is supposedly frozen. I have all the original parts plus the z that's in it. I am going to pull the z and rebuild either the 1600 or an L20b I have sitting in my garage. First I have to get rid of the other black one. '70, L16, newer 4 spd with shortened driveshaft. Had it running but needs tuning and brakes. Anyone want it? I think I will list it on cl for $900 once I get all the trim on it. Quote Link to comment

ppeters914 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 That's the third burgundy 521 I've seen for sale/sold in the last month. Nice score. :thumbup: That carpet has -GOT- to go, though. :poop: New guy with PL411 might buy one of your "spare" L engines: http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=9366 Quote Link to comment

sdsurf Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Well I finally got all of my crap pulled out to bring my new truck home. It was dark so no pics yet plus I want to clean it up. A HUGE thanks to Datrod for letting me store it at his place. I wouldn't have been able to do it without his help... Quote Link to comment
