My wife found this on Craigslist and just had to have it. I am lucky, she checks search tempest daily for good buys and gets mad at me when I don't go get them. I go pick it up tomorrow, I can hardly wait.
This is one is a 1974. Other than the header and carb it looks pretty stock to me, feel free to chime in if I'm missing something.

:cheers:

Congradulations! Your wife and mine must be kindred spirits! She the reason for my pig addiction.:beer:
 
Picked it up yesterday, made the 600 mile trip without issue. The seller texted me Tuesday evening to say his 2 year old daughter lost the key (sigh). No, I don't think he ever even had a key... He told me a locksmith would be over to cut a new key Wednesday morning at 8am, I expected to get there at 10am to pick it up. Of course the locksmith didn't show, so I negotiated $200 off the price. I was able to take the column cover off and take the ignition apart enough to get it started. It ran... just BARELY. It sat for athe least 10 years prior to him getting it. He said he had drained the gas tank and put in a vinegar solution to sit and then drain when he bought it in December. My first plan is to drop the tank, have the radiator shop clean it out and replace the rubber gas lines. Still deciding on what to do with the carb. I have a new 2f carb that @Racer65 sells. Anyone know if this will bolt right on? I have the mechanical throttle linkage.
Any way, we got it loaded on the trailer and made it home without incident.

It has rust and the interior is bad, but for $5800 I think it was still a good buy.
