1974 Tii Parts Car

[danco_]

Price: $3600

Location: Huntington Beach, CA

Description:

Hey guys, 

 

I have this tii that is great for parts, but not great for restoration. I bought this car thinking it would be a good supplemental tii to my other tii project, but I don't actually need it, nor do I want to start ripping parts off of it. 

 

 

What I know about the car:

 

Clean title, hasn't ran since '95, originally a Seattle, WA car. Currently all suspension and drivetrain is in tact and has been untouched. The engine VIN does not match the chassis VIN, but everything is there otherwise. Car has a four speed and stock 3.64 diff. Aside from the gratuitous rust on the chassis, all suspension components are not rusty, probably due to the years and years of grease, caked underneath - This is a good thing. 

 

As per the photos, the only thing that does not come with the car is the steering wheel. This is my personal steering wheel and I threw it in so I could steer the car. Everything else comes with the car and is fair game. 

 

 

Asking price is $3600

 

Any questions? Please ask or DM.

I may just part this car out, AFTER I get it running. Should be fun.

Couple of updates: I'm going to get this car running. 

 

Started off by removing the valve cover and checking underneath. Everything seems kosher and is tight (but not too tight). I threw on a tii valve cover that I had on a shelf.

 

 

Next was to turn the engine by hand. I removed the plugs to drop the compression, and the crank turned smooth as butter, via the fan. The plugs look new, fouled, and incorrect, but this is a good sign. I'll be swapping to the correct plugs. 

 

Found a good donor coil, cap, rotor, and set of plug wires as well. Those are going on now. I don't understand condensors and points, so I'll do some reading. 

 

 

I don't have a spare battery in the garage, so I'll go to another parts car and snake one from there. I wanted to check the gas tank for gas/corrosion, so I removed the in-tank fuel sender and shined a light inside. The tank is VERY clean, but dry - no gas. I'll remove the tank, clean out, throw some new gas in there, and once ready, fire the ignition and see what happens. Based on oil and coolant, everything looks good and she should fire. This would be good. 

 

As I said before, the chassis is trashed. I wouldn't use it for much. I think both fenders are nice though. They have been replaced and are not corroded. 

 

 

Wish me luck.

Appears re-chassisied 74 sienabraun tii's are worth a lot more than one would think.

You Californians are so spoiled!

 

That looks pretty good to me.  I saw worse '02 rust in Pennsylvania by 1973...

 

Good luck with the start-up.  Oddly, I feel Ike a 40-year-old tii stands a better chance of starting than a 40-year-old carbed example! ?

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

Looks like I'm going to part this car out instead.

 

I got the fuel pump to fire, and the car cranks over fine, but I don't have the coil hooked up yet. Good news is the fuel pump works fine, is pushing fuel to the kfish, but the fuel hoses have deteriorated too badly. 

 

Also I think I just sold the fuel pump and drive shaft from this car.

Oh I'll get it started! That's for sure.

Watch out carefully for the fuel hoses esp the one to the warm up regulator. My $1500 Atlantic City Chamonix was brought back to life (and ran like stink hitting 80 mph indicated in 2nd still pulling) but that hose split and was peeing all over the engine....

Is this a for sure part out? Might need some parts....

[danco_]

Yep, For sure a part out.

 

 

What do you need? 

 

[cibalibeb]

Do you have the complete air cleaner assembly,  and windshield washer pump, any chance there’s an A/C pulley on the crank?

holding out hope for the manifold....
