My son bought a nice 73 a couple of months ago - I helped him find it. Nice
car but I don't like the newer energy absorbing bumpers.

He paid $3500 to the original owner and it seems that yours would be a steal
at $2500.

If you don't get any bites then you should run it in www.thesamba.com for
$3500.

Son gave me back the 73.  Wife wants it gone.  I would like to keep it, but
can't garage it. After work stuff and messing with the van, I find I don't
have the time. If I could garage it, I would keep it.  Still may, but
thought I'd put it out there. Asking 2500.00.  Pics have ben posted b4, but
I will repost if asked. Bought it 1.5 years ago and replaced tires, MC, gas
tank, clutch(Sachs), DS floor pan, tranny mounts, rebuilt carb (34PICT3 CA
model carb), brakes lines, rear wheel cylinders, and fuel lines. Interior is
all there, but dash needs work.  I picked it up from him a few days ago and
was on the highway doing 75 mph without even noticing. Just putting it out
there and I won't be offended if nobody bites.  If it wasn't for these
projects, I'd get old real quick.  Thanks.
