Is that car up in Greensboro , you should be able to pick it up for less than 1250 . I took a look at it and it needs a lot of work, there is another in Chapel Hill on craigslist.

NW, if it's the green (67.5) you're talking about then yes-that's the one? There's a Red 68 2000 up there now? And I saw the one in Chapel Hill (the white 69 1600)? LMK, I also send you a PM.

Welcome to the forum. I saw the green one posted in CL. It's a 67.5, looks to have had an engine swap? Pics aren't great but at a glance it looks like a solid platform.

Yep, that's the one. Haha, I know the FS add is still up...car is Sold though. I just have to make some time to go and pick it up? Just moved back into our home, and you how some tenants don't maintain your property as good as the original owner? This is where we are right now, knee deep in renovations, mixed with a "honey do" list a mile long. lol As far as the engine, yep you're correct It has a toyota engine in it currently? Which toyota engine, I'm not sure? The car looks much better in person? Needs some work, but not an impossible task?

Post the link. I wanna see!

Looks like it has a 20R or 22R Toyota. 2200-2400cc.

Yep, cole455 that's the one...you beat me to posting it up. Not bad for $800 bucks huh? I watched that car for almost a month or so. She went from $2500 to $1800 to $1250 to $800...so regardless, I'm the new owner of a 67.5. I'm going to finish up the restorations here around the house, so I can go and pick her up soon?

Awesome! Looks like a good buy - even with the crappy paint.

lol, and you're correct! I've got some serious cleansing to do...I'm up for the challenge though, I do auto-detailing on the side and I believe I can bring back the paint to it's former color? I'm going to do a full write up and the process as well as detailing products that I will be using. More to come!
