Thanks to all of you guys who responded to my question about the value of the
1979 Midget 1500. Sure did help to give me more confidence in talking a deal.
I ended up buying the car for $3250. Seemed like a good price to me looking
at the car overall--very clean and spiffy with lots of new stuff. During the
test drive the car started right up--has a miss in the motor, and on pressing
the accelerator quickly, the engine bogs and backfires--I surmised timing.
Seemed sluggish on acceleration, which too could be the timing, I am hoping.
Exhaust pipe rattles against frame or body--needs attention. Motor sounds
very tight. A little grind going into 2nd gear either way, up or down, while
moving--Is there any adjustment here?
So here I go again!!!!
