Has this car recently been painted? I noticed that in the 2nd interior shot,
the door latch is painted, and in the photo it looks perfect, as if the door
hasn't even been shut.

Subject: 67.5 1600 FS in Eugene Oregon
Hello List,
I am selling my 67.5, because I just don't have the time or space to
devote to her. Right now I have (3) 510's, and (2) roadsters, and I live in
a manufactured home park. Needless to say, I haven't exactly been a model
tenant. The only area I have to work on cars, is a carport, not a garage.
This leads to weather wear and tear on the roadsters in particular. I'll
look at buying another roadster someday when I have a shop or garage to work
on it. Besides, I'll probably buy one that I can modify (maybe a VG30
conversion) without feeling guilty.
This is a very clean car. I would rate it on a scale from 1 to 10 (10
being the highest), a 7 to 8. I'll list the good and bad as I see it below:
Good:
Very clean and straight
No rust at all (the bottom has been undercoated at one time)
all chrome parts straight, although there is some pitting
I have a folder with over $7000 in receipts in it from the PO
Bad:
The dash pad will need replacing (has cracks)
Turn signals aren't working
temp gauge doesn't work (works sometimes if you tap sending unit)
brakes are somewhat squishy
speedo cable bounces
I've been driving this car for the past 6 months about once a week to
work (which is about a 20 mile ride), and this car has never left me
stranded. It is a very reliable car, other than the quirks I mentioned
above. I would say if you are planning a restore on a 67.5, this is a heck
of a start for you. Don't buy a parts car thinking you are going to restore
it. I'm asking $3750 for it. There is a link to some pictures below.
I will also be selling my 68 2000, as soon as I get parts back from shops
around town. I'll be post something when I have it put back together and
running. Some of it's highlights will be Ztherapy carbs, flushed gas tank
with new fuel sending unit, new 3 core radiator, again no rust. It won't be
for another month or so.
Please email off list with any questions. Thanks.
