    Maybe put the lid back on the lacquer thinner? Car looks nice for the price.

    The extra carbs wouldn't be much help. I thought the 223 came with a 1 bbl Holley.

    Nice car for the money. That would make a decent daily driver.

    Looks good due to repaint, but many places where rust is already popping thru, so no telling what is under the paint other than alot of needed bodywork.

    Image #16 shows a possible floor issue. Even the ones with no rust almost always rust at the front of the hood. Would be a great $4000 or less car. It looks complete, a huge plus.

    Yes this shows some rust bubbles on the front of the hood in the last photo.
    There looks like some odd sheet metal patches the bed photos too.
    It otherwise looks more solid than a lot of others offered at this price.

    Cars are like women, you never know really what they look like until the clothes come off. Start grinding down a bubbling area (on the car...) and you learn a lot more quickly.

    If there are bubbles you can't almost GUARANTEE RUST OR BONDO!
