FS:73 412 wagon

Post by Jadewombat »

Complete, was running last summer. Gold, rare manual trans.
-Straight car, never been hit
-AZ most of it's life, although some rust here and there
-slight crack in the windshield, hasn't spread all the way
-front seats need to be redone, back seat is fair, carpeting is fair, door panels good
-1.8 with partial rebuild, runs good
-have AZ title

What it needs:
-Hydraulic clutch master and slave cylinders, tried rebuilding both(you'd probably have to modify a setup from an American truck or something at this point, or put an automatic or bus 002 or 091 trans in)
-Brake master cylinder(also tried rebuilding it)
-trans burps oil out of the breather on the nose cone(not sure why, my idea was to take it down again and hook up a brake bleeder valve to an overflow bottle, like a breather bottle on the 1/2, 5, 9, and 11 off-road cars)
-the rear springs/shocks sag(I have a pair of 800lb. airbags which could take the place of the shocks, I'll throw these in with the car)
-some sort of induction system(the D-jet brain, harness, and map sensor are still there, what isn't there is the fuel rails and injectors, center section, and airbox) I may be getting a 914 D-jet setup complete though, or I also could get a pair of dual solex's with the shorty manifolds to fit under the decklid. When I had it running, I had a bug 30PICT carb on a standoff adapter mated to a plate mated to a Weber progressive center section...it ran good, but was real loud inside the car as the carb poked through the decklid. I also have two complete CIS setups, long story short, I did have CIS running on this engine, but that was in the shop with the engine out of the car, I put the carb on the car when we put the engine in for simplicity.

OK, enough writing here, I parked the car last summer when the clutch hydraulic system failed. I'm moving in a few weeks and I may trade this for a car dolly. As of now I'd sell it for $200, if I get it running and the clutch/brakes/etc. fixed, the price is going to go up. Let me know, Tucson, AZ 1-520-623-7505.
