    I am representing this for a friend.
    The car went through an almost full restoration in 2000/2001 that is fully documented with receipts and photos. The car has not really been driven since 2010. It had new belts, hoses, and maintenance withing the past 2 years. It is a complete car, smog pump is in place but disengaged. It has the original books and tools.
    It is current sitting on 16 in, but I have the original 14 inch wheels.
    There are a few issues that need to be addressed/ It needs a new master cylinder, the brakes works but are soft. It has some rust bubbles on the lower driver's side door skin (see pics)
    The car runs excellent when hot, but the cold start valve has not been bypassed so it needs to be hot before you drive it.

    88,XXX miles.
    Asking $72,000 obo

    The rust was thought to be addressed during the restoration. We discovered a few years after that one of the drain holes in the door was plugged. The rest of the car is rust free.

    Even if the drain holes aren't plugged, you want to bucket wash a 308

    What's the color/code? Looks like azurro metallic, but hard to be certain from the photos.

    I wouldn't order them today, but they're very "period cool" for a 1979 car.

    My #22641 was that color.

    Very nice PaulC.....a new set of cams (reprofile these) and some jetting and this car could be early spec.

    Lots of blue cars in the 70s, but the first paint gun they saw, made them all red!

    Even my #20405 was blue OEM..:D

    Sorry for the lack of response. I have been traveling with work and have neglected the ad.
