A neighbor has had this thing sitting outside for 10+ years with a blown motor and is about ready to make his son finally part with it (fingers crossed). Its one of those things where I've been eyeing it for years but haven't wanted to approach the guy until I was ready. (Don't want to get him itching to sell too soon.) Sounds like they are kind of giving there son an "get it off our property this summer or we will for you" ultimatum. (Son live on other side of the country.)
So, I've been trying to figure what year it is to start the haggling without sounding too desperate, and asking too many questions up front
At one point he said it was a '79, but I thought '79's all had square bezels? The thing is bone stock so I can't imagine them changing it out. The blinkers definitely look '76+, and it kind of looks like the wipers are on the bottom. I seem to remember a rear heater when I rode in it 10 years ago.
So anyways, can anyone else get any ideas off of this crappy cell phone pic of what year it is? Kind of funny, I was trying to be sneaky about taking the pic and the guy walked outside right when I was walking by, so that's why its a little blurry, played it off like I was answering a call.
Oh ya, I couldn't see the entire back, but the top of the rear looked like it was split down the middle, so I'm guessing ambi doors.
On a side note, how much for rebuilding a 2F?

) and wanted to do a little research first. I've found that sometimes these deals work better if you can be kind of spontaneous. Basically do as much research ahead of time so you can give a cash offer on the spot without too much tire kicking. At least that's how I seem to get better deals. Gotta slow play it.
