I finally found a great coupe and it was local.
I went to the Petersen museum for their monthly cars and coffee show. I got the energy to wash my 240z and show up with one hour left to see all those Porsches and Jaguar e-types.
I spotted a lonely coupe and waited around until the owner and his son came back. I chatted with him and he told me that he bought the car from Coupe King in 2010. Then he mentioned that he might be selling it since his 14 year old son is finally interested in cars and he wants a speedster replica.
I test drove the car and inspected it in the usual areas. Then we struck a deal at $26,500 and I just couldn't say no.
The car is a 73, originally an automatic. It has a 5 speed and updated AC.
The sunroof seems stuck
Fuel gauge needs some work
Passenger side window is not working
Car has some rust bubbles contained to the doors
It is a nice driver that I will enjoy and then start the restoration process.
I want to thank Peter, Chris, Jon, and Don for being patient with all my questions and for providing guidance.
