  1. Last week I purchased this car from a woman for 2000.00. I feel it was a fair price after all there was a lot of unknowns. She said it ran great when she parked it twenty yes twenty years ago. I was able to get the car running but pretty rough lap around the block. She had owned the car for more than 30 years and by the looks of the service receipts was pretty good about routine maintenance. I am super excited about rolling my sleaves up on this! Just a couple of pics of the car here to get some general feedback. A little bit of rust here and there and and some pretty trashed tires and brakes. I am super curious about two things. One is the leak of fuel near the bottom of the carb? Is the solex even worth messing with or just replace. My plan is to do a daily with some mild engine/carb/suspension mods. The second thing is the oil leak near the exhaust manifold. doesn't seem like valve gasket. Perhaps I have one of those leaky manifold bolt dealios? Anyone know of any good engine guys in Spokane or am I gonna have to go to Seattle for some help? I would like to pull the engine and tranny. I would like to find someone to do a refresh on the engine...new head...oil pump...fuel pump...exhaust and carb. any feed back would be cool...Adam
