Has optional third row of seats. Orig radio and power windows work! Easy restoration but I just don't have time. Please call 952-500-1736. Will not respond to e-mails.

Nice !!! It looks sweet for a quarter. But a lot more pics than that will have to be seen, seeing as it's location. It could be 'rustacious'.   ;)

Is that the jumbo alternator, or what?  :rockon:

I kinda like the red on the engine too.

That Silver exterior with a lipstick red interior is just beautiful. I know that's not it colors, I'm just sayin', that's all.

Looks to be the 80A deal. If so, and it's original, it would be the earliest example of one I've seen. And I think it would have the internal regulator as well.

I have seen internal regulated alternators as early as '72 so far.
