Honest Mechanic in SoCal?

Post by cebarro »

I am the proud owner of a '74 Ghia. My wife want's me to sell it. My dad thinks he knows how to work on it. If I ask my Grandfather, it'll be bulletproof but take 5 years to get done.
As of right now the car:
Stalls
Smokes (When warm/HOT)
Chatters? (pretty sure about this one as I can see the alternator pulley chewing the housing.)
I want it to:
run
not smoke
not die
not catch fire
be somewhat reliable (had to push it home from 7-11 at the corner the other day)
OR:
find a good home
