I wouldn't bid any higher on this one.

Appears to be a really nice mid year with a lot of originality, aside from the black painted Fuchs (why to people do this on 6" wheels???). Original body looks great.

Originality can also be a negative on mid years when it comes to mechanicals. This car needs the 11 blade fan, chain tensioner, and pop off valve (if not already installed). At least the smog pump and thermal reactors are gone. The engine was probably rebuilt at 60k-80k miles. That was the lifespan of a 2.7 with smog crap.

I'm in Kansas and I'm assuming you are too. We are lucky, no smog laws. My 77 runs SSIs and a magnaflow exhaust.
