Sad parts car

Postby whitenviro » 21 Sep 2012 23:28

I am in Michigan this week and found this sad looking parts car. Or as some of the UK members on here would say; A great place to start a restoration! What potential!

I was able to get the door latch I needed, so if anyone starts restoring it they can come find it in Seattle.

Those look like the mags I got for TCT.I guess that rear axle is too old to be a 3.45[:(]

Piece of cake for us [:D]

Front end looks okay you'd would only need to restore
half a car.

Have seen an ad in either Georgia or Alabama for a perfect rear half from the half front windshield back for $ 275 if any one is interested.

A very rare car with front wheel drive - the engine is mounted transverse due to the lightweight rear end [:D]

When you see those roof bars cut open from the rear you can't help but notice how hefty they are and how they must have contributed significantly to the cars strength. supercass

I took a pic of the VIN tag; ACL28735 U built in May 76, for anyone who tracks that kind of thing (obituaries?). Paint FAB and trim code CPAA.

The owner also had a TR7-V8 that he was "working on", but from what I could tell it most likely will never see the light of day. He had quite a collection of other cars too, including a nice looking 73 Mustang fastback. But most the others were in rough shape.

DNK I'm in Seattle near UW.
