What do you think. I see the problems, they are pretty obvious. But.....I miss my old 73.

I would want to see more undercarriage pics. Say.18k would buy it (worth a try), it might be ok for the do it yourself er who can patch the 1/4s and do his own paint and keep it on the cheap. Not worth a full blown resto where you pay someone else…at all. A 533 rear? Really? Is that even a ratio?

I agree undercarriage pics would be a big plus.

I am thinking the undercarriage is probably OK. It has sun baked virtually bare metal in places bust still with little rust. Seems to be from a dryer sunny environment.

As for the quarter rust I think they installed in on the cars during assembly in those years. LOL

I can't say the price is good but if you like the price and the frame/floors are solid, Go for it.

Looks like a cool cruiser. If you could get it within a couple grand of the asking price, it is probably worth it. If it was me, I'd probably just drive the wheels off it as-is, and not mess with any body work. It looks pretty cool with some scars.
