My car above was advertised on Craig's List for over a month for $10K. Not the best pics in the ad, but you could make out early sport seats. It was 2 hours away in western MA and I couldn't ever get to see it. Emailing the owner a few times, all kinds of people were looking at it from all around New England. I was surprised it wasn't selling.
When I finally got a chance to get out to it, the car represented very well. Had the sport seats. Also had a 69T with Webers. Owner said it was hard to get moving so I assumed the 915 would need a rebuild. We got it running, I put it into gear and it just lugged. Owner came frantically running over to stop me, got out of the car and there's a huge puddle of gas just behind the driver rear wheel. We looked and the line had ruptured. I offered him $5K. He happily agreed.
Got the car home, found that the shift coupler bushings had disintegrated, so the car was going into 3rd, not 1st. Also found that the 915 was from a 77 and had been rebuilt and has a 7:31. With bronze bushings, it shifts like butter.
So not being a fan of sport seats, they are way too heavy, and not very comfortable, I sold those and the Fuchs to make the car "free." With a 3.2 and bars in it, and thoroughly lightened, it's a fantastic car, one of my favorites. Someday it will go back to Gemini Blue.
