Photo from previous owner owner.
It was definitely not perfect but for 201K miles with a stack of records an 1" thick I decided to take it off his hands.
On the trailer.
Got it home and washed it all off and started taking notes on issues and repairs needed.
"Looks" pretty clean but at some point the passenger rear door and fender where hit or something and repainted (terribly). Only a little rust is starting in front of the rear wheels. I'm going to find a new rear door as this one is too far gone from a combination of bad prep, paint and neglect.
The good
M47 - seems ok
Solid body
Motor is OK - Edit - Motor is no good. rebuilding a 94 B230FT
Good wheels and tires -
Windows all work
clean interior
The bad
Headlights - broke and yellowed
drivers seat - busted and broke - FIXED/Replaced
Suspension - All original . . . . . . . including shocks and struts
Tune up neglect - runs like doo doo. - tuned up but still starts rough- Edit bad head and I think LH 3.1 no good
Passenger rear panel and door (paint and rust)
First Mod - Added Tach from my old cluster
First Fix
Had a wheel wobble at speed, kinda like an unbalanced tire. Turned out to be a loose front wheel bearing. Pulled, inspected, repacked and torqued to spec (while turning wheel) no more wobble.
Oh and the nickname (Spy car) Co-worker said it reminded her of the Car from Spy vs Spy. And it stuck. now I'm contemplating a Black & White paint scheme.
