New'n72,

Lady has (I think) 150K on her. The speedo says 50K and the previous owner was unsure, too. Since she is so old, she is true mileage exempt in TX. Engine and trans run like 50K and body condition supports that, too.
The interior and door mechanics wear indicates more like 150K, so that is what i am guessing.
I have a good paper trail from the previous 2 owners and I heard she had been sitting for 10 years from about 96-06.
Before she was sold to the previous owner, the guy had a 1700.00 'refreshening' done, including gaskets, oil pump, timing chain and gears, and tons more.
Carb has been monkied with at one time as the little cover on its back side (over the temperature compensator (?)) is missing and a bunch of screws were backing out.
Coil looks original so it is gotta be replaced. Vacuum lines are all misrouted, so I need to fix that, too.
