Biggc2's car looks fairly good. Would make a good driver. The engine is a replacement A12 that appears to be in excellent condition (no smoke or blowby). It's an automatic -- perfect for engine swaps.
Open in new window

As you can see there is one dent only, in the drivers (left side) door.

The hood is in perfect shape. The bumpers are straight. The grille is in great shape.
Open in new window

It has some rust along the roofline and all the usual places (floor, fender corners, trunk, etc). maybe a little too much to restore the car to perfect condition.

OK, here's some more information. I looked at this car Thursday evening.

I figure this is a good driver, but on the borderline for restoring to top condition (could be done if you want to fix the floor and rust, doesn't need a lot else).

I get the feeling this one could drive cross-country after only brake repairs.

Mechanical: Not bad, mainly needs brakes fixed.
- Very complete including air cleaner
- Seems to drive good (though I didn't drive it on the highway)
- Engine seems excellent
- Needs front brakes repaired and rears adjusted
- Carb has a hesitation, but drives OK otherwise
- tires good, but rub on the fenders due to wheel offset

Body: Over all, looks OK
- rust in floor pan and trunk, as is common
- rust in corners of fenders and other small spots here and there
- rust bubbles along roofline, a little above the drip line. They may have treated as the car was repainted.
- seller said the front and rear glass needs more sealer (small drip?)
- one dent, in center of left door
- one spot of the paint needs touchup (about palm size)
- passenger door hinges perfect, closes tight
- driver door only has a little wear

Interior
- Instrument panel surround painted black
- seats have been recovered with interesting fabric: I thought it look OK, back seat needs steam cleaning perhaps
- has original floor mats
- steering wheel bearing has some slop (as do many many 1200s)
- Seats are swapped. Drivers seat doesn't come back upright (frame may be broken?)

Give Biggc2 a call if you are interested.
