free 96; last try, i suspect
Posted by dischinger (more from dischinger) on Mon, 3 Sep 2001 15:58:59
Folk,
A year ago, i posted that i had a 1973 96 that i bought new and have
kept; it is almost certainly one of the last five 96s sold in the U.S. I
said that it was free to anyone who wanted to restore it or just needed
it for parts (for sentimental reasons, i prefer the former, but that
would be up to the new owner). I got an interested party, who for his
own reasons never made it here to pick it up. Then i went to the second
interested party, who wants photos, structrual info, et c. Here are the
facts, if i had time to scan photos and assess the structure, i would
have time to do the work myself. I simply don't.
The car has been wrecked, but is mostly intact; the door, fender,
and wheel support were replaced. A paint job about five years ago was
botched; the shop said they wanted to do it right, but did not. It is
the original color:yellow. The interior is there; original seats, but
covered. The undercarriage is the biggest challenge; i drove the car in
northern West Virginia for five years, and the passenger side floor is
rusted out. Rockers look good. The engine ran well last time i drove it
(again, 5 y ago); exception is carburetor, which is cracked.
Transmission also was pretty good, but the clutch needs to be reworked
or replaced.
I will answer a few questions, but as for a whole lot more info,
sorry; i work long hours and am busy most weekends. If you want it, come
get it before i have to get it crushed (about a month).
