Nice to find some people who appreciate the 1970 models. I overheard a woman talking where i worked about how her husband had passed away and she needed to sell his car. i inquired about it and she told me it was a 71 RR that has been sitting in her garage for the last 40 years. At the time she said it was towed into the garage after it broke down. She had no knowledge of what was wrong. No keys or title. She said she will get a replacement title. I offered her 5K. She wanted 12K. To much for a car that could possibly need motor and trans work. 1 year goes buy. i receive a call from the woman saying its yours for 5k. Because of a back injury i informed her dont want it. She told me she sold the house and needs to get car out in 2 weeks. She said she would also pay for the towing. I felt bad for her and agreed to take the car. Long story short. Motor was seized. Marvel Mystery oil freed it up. Found neutral wire from trans broken. Started up. Heres picture sitting in garage and after i cleaned her up.
