    Here I go on my soapbox again.....

    The lack of even a basic amount of professionalism when one is trying to sell something for a non-trivial amount of money never ceases to amaze me. In this case the pics aren't bad, but no engine pics. The verbiage does provide some info, but is horribly written. And then, no response to inquiries. I get that it is Craigslist, but still....

    My car was built in 3/79 and is also 9F (Dearborn). The VIN's are only about 3700 digits different. So likely the cars were built perhaps one week, at most two weeks, apart. I wonder if this car shows the same evidence of a strong-selling car being rushed down the assembly line, coupled with the less-than-spectacular build (and overall) quality of the era??? Just part of the charm of our beloved Four Eyes.

    Here is the engine and build sheet too.



    Notice the 79 Year only Battery shield, maybe, could be just a black battery, and correct battery cable.

    Looks really unmolested. Love to see in person.

    Don't get me started. Let me just say, "I agree with you."
