NO RESERVE. HIGH BIDDER GETS IT!
A fun, unique, and affordable to purchase and operate survivor. I spent quite a bit of time sorting this car out, fixing everything that was necessary to make it a reliable summer driver. The recommissioning involved a bunch of things including a tune up, new carburetor, new fuel pump, new brakes (including master cylinder), and all safety equipment including seat belts, turn signals, and horn. It is surprisingly peppy and will more than keep up with traffic on the freeway. The 3 speed automatic transmission shifts perfectly.
I didn't address the things that didn't bother me such as the radio, gas gauge, and shifter knob (which I am told is somewhere in the previous owners warehouse).
I purchased this car from a collector. We were both attracted to the fact that, while it has been repainted and there has been some body repair, none of it seems to have been from a major accident or as the result of major rust. He planned to strip the car to bare metal and repaint, as he does with almost all his cars. For me, it's fine just as it is. It isn't rust or dent free, but it's pretty good. Definitely above average.
The interior appears to be original, save for the drivers seat bottom. The dash is a hot mess, so I just put a custom cover over it.
If you have any questions that I failed to answer, please message me. I want you to have as much knowledge as possible before you agree to purchase the car. Also, if you are going have the car shipped, it might be cheaper to do so from Columbus, Ohio (German Village) where my winter home is. I would be happy to leave it there. And please refrain from bidding unless you are willing and able to perform. I am relisting the car because, as the high bidder explained, "I thought about it after the auction ended and I guess I just changed my mind". He did tell me that he hopped he didn't inconvenience me. Crazy.
Anyhow, I love driving unique cars that don't nickel and dime me to death. For me, this car checked all the boxes. But I have two other 1970's rides and I just don't get to drive it much, so I'm letting it go.
As you are probably aware, classic Japanese cars are rising steadily in value. There aren't a whole lot around, especially with chrome bumpers. I suspect that it will be dang near impossible to lose money on this car. Certainly you could have fun trying.Thanks!
