History
Purchased from HOONIGAN after it sat neglected for a couple of years.
I bought this car of Scotto at Hoonigan after it sat for a couple of years. Those two years took their toll as all the window seals leaked and the recently refurbished interior got pretty ruined. Luckily it doesn't look like much rust, just the battery tray area which has already been cut free.

The plan is to build it back up to be a reliable car for vintage rallies here in CA. Ultimately I'd love to put an Ecotec, volvo rear end, and an upgraded brake system in it.

That’s a 1974 model year, they have the big bumpers, 1973 had the skinny ones.
