1971 SX Project
I've decided to sell my project and a few spare parts and buy a house at the end of the summer instead of collecting more cars.
I'd be willing to trade this car too for a 64-67 project (for my Dad).
The 71SX is clean, just needs a few small odds and ends body wise, nothing major such as welding in panels etc...
Car was originally Metallic brown with a bench seat, power trunk, bumper guards, hidden wipers, AC are the only options I can think of.
It's a real SX, confirmed by the bracing that runs from the bottom of the cowl up over the fender well (like the 442's had), 455 engine mounts, 4 row radiator core support, and the original passengers fender with the original paint underneath and SX badging. Doors and drivers fender were swapped out.
Have title from second owner, dates back to 1981.
Floors and trunk are clean, couple tiny holes in floor from a drill for mounting aftermarket buckets and shifter, easily patched.
Front clip, rockers and quarters are clean
Drivers quarter was worked on a little
Doors just have a little spot in the corners, I have a sport mirror to replace the pitted chrome one, hinges are good, doors close nice and smoothly.
Rockers, trunk lid are clean.
Trunk is power, lock hole needs work though, was planning on shaving lid
All trim for the car is there and in nice shape.
Rear bumper has cutouts for duals, front bumper has guards on it, both need to be rechromed, nice cores, leave as is or paint
New brakes, air shocks, motor/trans mounts, carpet and a few other odds and ends.
Interior is complete for the most part, in the middle of converting to buckets/console, have good buckets with new white Supreme seat covers from PUI, rest of the interior is black.
I was going to redo the door panels/rear panels and headliner in white and paint the rest of the interior in red with red carpet and package tray (none of that's been started yet) and paint the car matador red with white stripes/ram air etc...
Also have a nice 73-77 red sport steering wheel
Nice floor console and floor shift speedo, just needs brackets and column, all linkage to the column present
Was going to put a dual gate so it needs a shifter or whatever you prefer.
Dash is nice, black, no cracks or hacking of the radio area, have AC delete center vent
Comes with a 455 J head HEI core motor, turns over.
Have the correct 71SX carb in good shape, just needs a rebuild.
Have driveshaft, crossmember, 4 row radiator top plate...
Also comes with a very nice original ralley pack wire harnesses for the engine and dash.
Parts wise the car needs: rear seat core and front seat belts (have pass. retrator and shoulder belts), trans/lines, exhaust. radiator, fan shroud, AC box under the hood (was going to buy the heater box conversion from The Parts Place, have blower motor).
Car is far from junk and is a great start for anyone looking for a project.
Not sure what to ask for it, I have a little over $4k invested so $3800 will takes it.
Otherwise I'll part it out (which I do not want to do since it's a rare SX).
Have a bunch of photos, PM email and I'll send them.
