i remember that one, nice.

I remember that car too from.. the old forum? Didn't it used to belong to one of the members?

Nice car!!!
That was the original colour of my car when new!  Same interior etc too; mine had a white vinyl roof - I like your black one though.

Welcome

Sweet ride. Third Gens. Rule. OK, I might be a bit biased.
Welcome to the board.

Nice car at a good price.  Just further proof that there are still excellent deals to be had.  Even on Ebay.

It says it has the torqueflite does that mean the 904 or 727. Im guessing the 904.

With a 318 that would likely be the one.

Nice ride! Have fun restoring it -- looks like a great project!

[Mr_fixit]

Nice car, if it had a title I might have got it first.  Police impound... only a bill of sale..  too many questions without answers for me.

[Silver R/T]

nice project, like those 74's

[The Ghoul]

Heck of a first car!!
Looks good.
Make sure you spend the time and money to replace the wriring.

[tan top]

from the pictures it looks a nice project to start with.

AKLB was the guy who sold you that car.  He is on this board.  Congratulations.

[MassCharger73]

Congratulations on the new car. Looks like a good solid car for restoration. Don't forget to post pics when it lands in the driveway.

[Nacho-RT74]

Now he is selling te rest of parts he had to make his project on separate auctions hehehe

[bordin34]

Does he still visit this board? Also he says the tranny doesnt work well in reverse, is this a common problem?

[Nacho-RT74]

yes, oftenly he visit the board...

I never have heard about that tranny problem before... it could be just the reverse band adjusten bolt some loosen.

Don't worry, you will find LOTS OF HELP AND FRIENDS here... and welcome

All parts he is selling are on right price numbers, so if you think you buy everything going with the car you will save LOT OF SHIPPING cost. IMHO if you don't want to be on a bid race, you can go with confidence with Buy it now option on last moment.

Only detail is that seat covers are for buckets and no for split  highbacks bench with arm rest integrated in the middle. However rear bench is the same. The complete set will work for you only if you change to buckets your front bench setup. If you won't change the bench for buckets then doesn't worth just for the rear bench.

If you keep the front bench, will need a custom buy... ask to legendary autointeriors. However, any local upholstery shop is able to recover your seats. Is not a NASA job... I made mines locally here in Venezuela. ( check my signature links for pics )
