scooter stuff Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I bought this 1971, 2dr about 6 years ago. It's been slow going due to raising a family and working full time. About the car... The good- When i got it, it it was a rust free driver w/ 2ltr. The bad- it was hit in the front & rear and needed multiple panels replaced. Some pics- 1 Quote Link to comment
