Greetings all, I have a few too many projects so I've decided to sell my '74 Special. I got the car 2 years ago, it was just out of long term storage. In that time I've managed to get the car running/driving enough for short trips to work and local club events. Lots of work done: removed the boosters, rebuilt the rear brakes, re-hung the drivers door (you're welcome
), restored the header/muffler, new exhaust studs, fuel sender, rear lower links $$, thermostat. Removed gearbox to sort out reverse, installed new driveshaft seals and o-rings (the un-obtainium 5th gear parts looked great), and lots more. Car has an aluminum flywheel and newer clutch from the previous owner. All lights, gauges, windows work. Downsides: Was originally Olympic blue, now F150something red. Needs Master Cylinder (brakes work well, but there is a slow fluid leak), Engine has a little top end rattle at about 1500 rpm coming back to idle... my guess is waterpump, valve adjustment, or timing chain adjustment?. Oil and coolant look ok. I have all the original parts, the trunk, and the ashtray!! Asking $7500 for a decent running/driving project, clean title in my name, pickup near Chicago. I can't seem to get my pix to work, I'll try and add them as reply posts...
PM me with any questions, Thanks! Mark
