Hi I have this yellow 1974 2.0 that I light at an estate sale a few years ago. I messed with the fuel and
Electrical and got it starting, running and driving . It revs and shifts through all the gears well. I replaced the broken throttle pedal but the cable and/or pedal box need attention as it does not return. I put a string on it to pull back so I could drive it. Floor pans have rust with a few holes and will need replacement. The he’ll hole has some rust but I don’t see it rotted through. The horizontal sheet metal next to the engine is compromised. The drivers exterior door handle is broken. Interior is fair. I have pics and videos but won’t let me
Post. Life has changed and I need to let her go. I’m keeping my 911 , Datsun 260 and t2 rx7 though. What would be a good price to list at? I want to be fair and honest but I could use some $ . Thanks.

Photos, lots of them, depict condition and sell special interest cars, in addition to good, clear, detailed, honest descriptions. Also where is the car located?

Sounds like it could be a very rusty car. Maybe $3-4k.

Car is in Cle Elum wa. I drive it on my rural street just to go through the gears. I will
Work on pictures and concentrate on rust areas. Any suggestions on how to post pics and video? Thank you for the input.

A sharp awl or ice pick is your friend--or frenemy. Poke it hard into the bottoms of the sills, the braces around the jack tubes, the floors, and just about anywhere you can reach. If the gods like you, it will not penetrate.
