For when the ebay ad disappears

8M70TGL366743X

217421A
1886 18V
L31 M21 GV4
AHX17548A
1950 2

Another consecutive id and with the same build details. Chassis is later than those around it by 500, waiting for Sandman parts??

Looks like it has a 6cyl HJ dash, but not bad buying for the money

Leroy, do you have the chassis number for L366742? I have the VIN and BODY plate details but no ADR plate details.

[mr.jones]

No chassis no. unfortunately; only a pic of the Vin and Body plate

You don't and I will..... Colour match for the ID plates but that tacho looks out of place (its condition?) to me.

The choke knob is possibly a dealer fit as it is a genuine cable (6 cyl), and we used to have issues with the auto chokes locking on when other (mostly non dealer mechanics) used to remove the thermostat and chuck them because they took the easy fix rather than address the bigger issue (whatever it was at the time) with the cooling system which ended-up costing more to fix by a long way. So, we'd hook up a manual choke system at the request of the customer once the vehicle was out of warranty.

Regards,

Dave.

Too cheap at that price. Doesn't seem to be a reserve either so I'm willing to bet the ad will get pulled in the last day unless some serious bidding happens.

Pity they didn't think to put the blackouts on when doing their resto. Looks pretty good otherwise.

Just so the forum has reference after the auction is long gone.

Personally I think the money is about right for what it is.

Headlining is all wrong and makes me think it may have had a body swap
Original 308 replaced with a 253 ????
Door trims ????? Ewww
Dash and armrests are originally Tan that have been sprayed with cheap vinyl paint... look at the dashpad below the steering wheel....
Interior painted yellow??? ..... no shaggin in the back of that wagon without throwing up.....
Side windows blacked out.... dark tint would be far better
No blackouts painted on????
I would be suspect of the panel work considering the big hole left in the rear beaver panel from a trailer plug!!!

I think $10,000 is on the money.......
