It started here with John-Peter telling me about the craigslist ad he'd seen...so, I'll finish it here:
So, its 8:36pm & I'm sitting in the Phoenix airport waiting for the red-eye flight home...& had a great Mexican dinner at a local favorite restaurant.
Now to the car:
Absolutely no rust!
Couldn't find any body filler....somebody sprayed some type of white paint over all the body imperfections then put the windows back in - with NEW rubber!
We went over it top to bottom out in the dusty Arizona desert....he tossed in a perfect hood, trunk lid & front valance & is going to see if he has a better RF fender (though its not as bad in person as it is in the photos).
Looks like somebody ran out of interest or money....frame is straight & clean...appears to have recent high gloss black paint on it & I couldn't find any rust on the frame either...he told me the guy he got it from in California had just sprayed the body to protect it - & now that I've seen it in person, I can believe that...I ran a magnet over every inch of that body & frame - nothing but metal!....the trunk is full with things like a complete extra set of shocks, extra "B" posts & boxes & boxes of parts in the trunk & car itself.
We made a list of all the things I want to make sure are with the car....did I say that all the glass is in excellent condition...worst pieces I found were the door handles (I just bought a pair off ebay) & the oval 1500 emblems on the front sides of the tub...& he's going to make sure everything I put on my list is there (he said he wasn't even going to go through the boxes, if I put it on my list he's gonna put it in the car!).
So, he's delivering it to me on Monday!
