If you really want a NICE 1973 4 door, just buy mine! It has:
New professionially re-built 250 I6 with nation wide warranty!
New 195 70 14 goodyear eagle tires
New brakes
New C4
complete new front end inc p/s hydro's
New A/C
All of the above has only 500 miles since the work, except the engine that has -0- miles.
Make me an offer!
The money you give me I will go day trading with!
: I havn't been around for a while...I am finally self employed, and should have about 2000 bucks to play with next month. Half of that is going to get all my bills pay'd off, but the rest is going into my mav.
: It's a '71 4-Door, 200 CID. The suspension is shot, so I'm probably gonna get the PST Kit, new shocks, springs, bushings, control arms, steering box, and probablly leaf springs. Whatever isn't in the kit I will go buy.
: I'll probably take the c4 in and get a rebuilt, this one had almost no fluid in it when I got the car, and I think it's pretty well shot...It slips constantly.
: I need tires also.
: Basically I just want to get it road ready...I'm gonna pull the 200 out and pull it apart, clean it up, replace the timing chain, lifters and anything else I find wrong with it.
: If I can't get it all done next month I'll finish it up in may.
: Anybody have a Ford Focus? I'm gonna buy one this summer. I'm just gonna get the hatch back with the 5 speed and the larger engine, no extras. After I pay it off I'll modify it and go racing with some imports. What do you think?
