Subject: Gotta let my project go - 1971 BGT
To all:
Well, after four years of a slow restoration on my 1971 BGT I have to let
her go. I can't go into it now, but my time and efforts must now go into
other things.
I have replaced most of the metal from the lower 12 inches of the car
including floor pans, inner, outer sills. New muffler and pipes (1999).
Front panels are rust free, and back panels are new welded metal. All
replacement panels (pan, sills, etc were from Moss). 2 year old 12 volt
battery. Interior is new install (1999)- Moss standard kit. Clutch kit
replaced less than 2 months ago.
She still needs more work (like paint, a new bonnet, door skin on the
passenger side needs replacing, etc.), but runs every time I start her up.
The body is in black primer right now, as I have never got around to the
painting part. I estimate she is 75% to 80% "restored."
I am asking $1,500 OBO. I am located in Columbus, Ohio.
She will never be a concourse car, and all the work was purposefully on a
"rolling restoration" basis. As a second driver for weekends and the
occasional trip to the park/store she is in great shape.
She has never stalled, only looses a few drops of oil on the garage floor
and with a coat of paint could be a nice car.
I have all the parts that I have taken off the car.
If anyone is interested let me know. I can e-mail photos of the car. If no
one is interested here, I'll put it in the local paper and wait to see what
happens.
