Build 74 red piggie

[Lifelong40Fan]

This is my 4th pig and second 74. She's all original - F155 and 4 speed. No immediate plans other than to just drive her as is and, maybe, try and fix the dent in the driver's side fender and door. She's on her way to TN from Albuquerque with a few extra parts. Looking forward to seeing her tomorrow, I believe.

If it’s all there I’d be interested in some under hood shots of the harness connectors, my 74 has a transplanted 2F and several connectors are just hanging out doing nothing…

Cheers

You bet.

Is this the one owner from Denver earlier in the year that went south for a quick relist. ?
Couple quick exchanges but glad to see it going to a loving home

This is not mine but I have driven it and know the seller. It runs good and shifts good but definitely needs some love in the looks department but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I told him I would post up here for him. Please respond through the Facebook ad. He is asking $6500 obo. Just wants it to go to a good home.

Same rack. Wheels swap along the way?

 

[Lifelong40Fan]

It looks the same. The fb link no longer exists, so I can’t look at more pics. The guy I bought it from said he got it out of Durango.

You still have all 4

Guess not

Yeah, just the one pig coming tomorrow morning now.

 

[greenbeast]

That is the same one! You sitting in front yard waiting for new pig arrival? Kinda like watching mailbox in old days for a special package...maybe a decoder ring.

Anxious to see more pics

 

[Lifelong40Fan]

Yeah, getting ready for it. I’ll post pics once she’s here.

 

[Lifelong40Fan]

Just arrived. Sounds great! Looks rough!

Maiden voyage to fill her up. Here we go

 

[WarDamnEagle]

I know someone that can repair all of that Mike.

 

[Lifelong40Fan]

Back. Cruised at 65 no problem. Runs, shifts and stops well. Steering needs addressing. She’s rough. This will be a marathon. Just gonna take it a little at a time. Steering, hoses need replacing, try and get gas gauge and speedo working, and driver’s side window regulator will be the first items.

Driving home from buying a 6 pack on the 4 lane going about 60 I discovered the driver’s door flies open with the smallest bump. Dang near fell out because the seat belts are a pain and I don’t usually use them anyhow. So, new order: 1 fix driver’s door 2 get the seat belts easier to use so lazy people like me use them 3 engine is backfiring through the carb, so must be jetted for Denver, not 400 ft above sea level, so pull carb apart and reject.
