Title: Retiring my 1977 Wagon as parts
Post by: Hal Nelson on March 11, 2007, 11:25:59 PM
I have a 1977 Wagon that served me well for many years.   I have too many old cars on my property and it needs to go.

It does NOT currently have a title.  I have the scrap tag for it and a new title could be issued but it would have to go through a Washington State safety inspection.

As I say, I kept it on the road for many years and have LOTS of spare parts for it, including:

two cylinder heads (2.3L)
extra working carburetor
rebuildable 2.3 L Block core, disassembled
C-3 Transmission, rebuilt except for final reassembly; clutch packs fully reassembled and new bands
New 2.3L header from Whitney
New tailored carpet from Whitney, green matched original interior color
Window weatherstrip
and more...

I did some mods on it, including 8" rear, lowered front suspension (cut springs) by about 1-2", heavy duty front and added rear sway bars

Right now it is pretty well dogeared and wired together but I had it running earlier this year until the fuel line clogged up, probably from accumulation of varnish in the tank..  the carb wasn't in it while it sat and is clean and rebuilt.  Minimum of work and it could be made driveable, at least..  the engine still runs strong but the tranny that's in it leaks. 

I am located between Seattle and Tacoma in Washington.  E-mail me if interested and I will send pix and details.  I would like to get rid of as much at one time as I can.
