Seller says he has the smog equip - (I'm 100% sure he assumes he does) I was told previous owner put a new tub on. So, it's not "all original"
And, not registered......

Interesting better hope it all works though

is this a joke?

More waves than the Pacific Ocean! And what’s with those quarters?

…and that’s just the beginning ‍

I was told previous owner put a new tub on. So, it's not "all original"

you were told a new tub was put on? new by who? looks like all sheet metal just slapped together
inner wheel wells, trans hump, etc

wonder how much of the front end might be original?

if the tub was that bad, the rear frame needs to be looked at

“All original” is laughable.

poorly done quarter panels, bed floor, wheel wells, and holy s*** look at that drivers side door.

missing air pump based on the hoses that aren’t in the engine compartment. Non OEM carb, That fuel filter

does appear to have oem power steering though.

I exchanged emails with the seller as soon as it went up, he said the previous owner was a welder and put on a new tub. The first thing I asked was, why does it look like the entire drivers side looks like it's been in an accident?

My gut is the seller got it in exchange for something, or bought it low thinking he was going to flip it.

He obviously doesn't know what "all original" is, and he also said it wasn't currently registered, so I'm sure it's been sitting

there are guys who can weld and guys who are fabricators, big difference.

looking at the pics again, just realized the original gas tank is gone
