Seemingly not a bad deal. Look how nicely that rear bumper fits in that old pic. When right, they're beautiful.
The pic is from September, 1970 on its first road trip to see the family from Seattle to Iowa. According to Mike Trom in another post, here is the contents of the body badge decoded: 69 = year 43437 = GS350 Sport Coupe BF = Fremont California Assembly Plant 00849 = Fisher Body ID Number TR 186 = Buckskin color Vinyl Bucket Seats B80 = Roof Drip molding 61 = Burnished Brown body color F = Dark Fawn Vinyl top (I believe) 05D = Build date of the 4th week of May The remaining numbers are for factory use and are a mystery.
Agree- for those with metal skills, this would be good The price is right- just a big project. The shifter is also missing- hence the vice grip shifter...
Correct. The original shifter is broken. I did fab up a new one out of steel that is now on the car, but I don't have good pic. I still have the original, but the muggyweld repair didn't hold.
Not sure what the policy is about links, but here are some more pics and a video of it running. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1B03ioKsXuhvst14nk2hf7F8HXECdOJxY?usp=drive_link
Yes, Washington State is a lot further than Little Washington. Alongside the state of disassembly, it does make it "tough". The hood being shown standing on its points is cringe worthy - but Colby comes across a very honest seller. Love the vintage photo with the double pinwalls!
