NEW to 1G from PA.

Post by jdmreddy »

Hey guys - gals!

I've been searching for a ra29, for a few years now
And spotted this 76 liftback in an old garage

Stopped talked with the guy and purchased the beaut for a whopping sum of 700
Plus's 8 hours of driving to go back for it!!

A bit of dust....

And then a carwash visit for the great unveiling

It does run now! Haha

A guy drove it up to PA from Florida in 98 and parked it a few months afterwards

Sat there since!!


I had to flush the gas tank
rebuild the carb
new fuel pump
And new points set

Fires right up and rolls down the road!

(Admittedly a bit of tire shake) haha

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious $#!+.

As far as rust this is just weird surface rust from humidity and such
