I've had it for about a week now. Just got around to getting it cleaned up to see what I'm dealing with. Bought from a member in Seattle, might have seen it posted in the for sale forum.
1978 4 door with AMC 360, TH400, Qtrac, cruise (not working), AC (not hooked up) and Levi interior. Headliner and carpet have been pulled and only surface rust in some areas, a good solid candidate for a project. PO was nice enough to already have invested in 31" BFGs, but I will have to get a 4" lift on before too long...just not enough clearance without, mild rubbing. PO also threw in new rear quarters that he had purchased which should take care of the only cancer spots on the rig (edge of wheel well, just behind rear tires). All for the low price of $900 and drove it the 120 miles home with minimal issues...oil leaks and threw the alt belt (easy fix).
I did a lot of checking around in old posts about the Levi interior. I like the idea, but it sounds like it didn't hold up very well hence the torn up driver seat. The others are in decent shape, but dirty. Thought maybe when it's time to get them redone I'll go leather, similar color, same stitching patterns and try to incorporate the buttons. Just a thought.
