Looked at a 77 B today, Asking price is $5000. Newer "ok" paint job and decent interior. Top is newer. Noticed some very small bubbles undernearth the paint in one dogleg otherwise everything else looks sound. Front end looks like its been rebuilt with red bushings.
Some things that I noticed and need to know if they are going to be a big deal to fix. One is that the tach doesn't work. Owner said that it quit working recently. The windshield wipers are slow and don't park. Are thes issues difficult to fix?
There is a shroud over the fuse box area (see photo). I never have seen this before. There are some cut wires and the car does not have electronic ignition which I thought '77 models had. Wondering if this has something to do with a change out of distributor.
Also noticed that the motor mounts did not set square, as though the motor and frame points were not aligned. I can't say that I had ever paid attention to motor mounts to know if this is typical. Is this an indication of some sort of frame problem?
Thanks,
Mike
