This car has not been advertised anywhere else I will post it here to see what feedback I get if it sells on here will make a donation to the site.
It's a blue plate California car that was lurking in a Los Angels garage since the 1990's. It has been recommissioned not restored, I have driven it many miles and it drives superbly has Weber carbs so is surprisingly spritely, could be an everyday driver with a little attention. The brakes, cooling and fuel systems all work as they should . Instruments and lights and wipers all work, rear windows are intermittent and hazard switch is bad so disconnected. The horn was shorting out so was disconnected . Overall the car is pretty much rust and accident free though we did patch a hole in the drivers floor and fix some rust bubbling under the hood but really honest underneath and never been crashed . Going to price it around $30k .I f sells in California have to charge sales tax and transfer ownership as we are a licensed dealer. Happy for someone to fly in a look and test drive have a lift available and happy for people to poke around underneath . It will come with the fender trim we got two right hand side ones so waiting for a replacement. Please note this car is being sold needing improvement it was sat for a log time so the more it is driven the more issues will arise it's a good driver or a good start for a resto mod . Ask for more pics or videos if interested..

Hey Steve; Nice car!

My compliments for the information given in the description. Indeed driving it for a while will likely show some improvement points, but don't we all have them?

It may help to post pics of the work you've done on the drivers floor and under the hood. Metal work on e9's is the biggest money pit of the car, so you're work will be important to a interested seller. The rest of the car seems to be in pretty OK shape (but buyer would need to poke around to confirm)

If you'd like to increase the selling potential I'd remove the rocker trim and post a few pics of how it looks underneath those things. The rocker trim is the black piece of sheet metal below the doors, on which the chrome-rubber strip is mounted. you can unscrew the rocker trim with the cross head screws on it's perimeter.

BTW; the car has had the door panels redone and the seats.
Erik.
 
GLWTS. Can you post a pic with lid removed from air cleaner so I can what Weber adapter was used to mount the air cleaner?
here are some pics of the carbs

I like that the air cleaner adapters use the original mounting holes. I think the JAM Engineering style requires an additional hole to be drilled in the air cleaner bracket.

And as Chris indicates, the JAM ones (and others) move the air cleaner to the rear due to the additional holes required.
 
I think it's a decent buy from what I can see.

Sure it has a hole in the floor patched kinda fugly and the seat upholstery is not correct, but she looks good under the hood and underneath mostly.
