FS: 1973 1.7 GT Replica Project Options

[TACAN73]

For sale near Washington, D.C.:
1973 1.7 Targa - I purchased this mostly complete project from upstate NY as an ongoing restoration. The car arrived as a complete, running vehicle with a collection of spare parts. I planned on a GT conversion and engine swap. The car has not run for just over one year- My plan was to strip the chassis, repair the rust, then convert to a GT replica (steel flares and reinforcements, partial cage) and then a LS swap.

Chassis: Originally Bahia Red, resprayed to Irish green. Bodywork is in mostly good shape with some scuffs on the left front wing. Original glass all around. F and R sway bars appear original. Overall, the dimensions check out-driver's side door works with no binding; passenger side is tight-but the opposite of usual the gap has opened up at the top, likely from welding-induced distortion on the passenger long. Hood, trunk, engine cover all work

Rust report: Complicated. The passenger long has rusted through above the jacking point. The passenger side floor has rusted through and there are separations along the long. The transverse floor brace has separated. The driver's side has numerous small patches around the floor. No jacking point on DR side. Here's where it gets strange. Another, separate floor (in what looks like galvanized steel) has been added underneath along with extensive additional metal added to the outside of the passenger long and a patch at the front. The end result is the car needs a passenger long, floor and lower firewall replacement, but it is pretty close to factory geometery and stable thanks to the mass of reinforcement.

Interior: Old. Mostly complete: bucket seats, adjusters, controls, basketweave dash, top. Mostley stripped and rotten items removed.

Engine: it ran. cobbled together exhaust and CAI.

Transmission: 901, side shift. Moves through all of the gears.

Brakes: all there, new SS lines. They work. Parking brake works.

Suspension: original, all there and F/R sways- missing a rear end link.

Wheels: Minilite style. spare wheel

Electronics: Battery croaked early so a current inventory is hard. Headlights worked, many many stray wires so it will need a close inspection.

Additional: Parts books, AA 700 book, period AA catalog, Haynes, etc.

-Doors, with glass
-Fuchs wheels, NOS caps
-a second set of instruments
-a lot of interior trim pieces
