NMNA but was mine from new until about a year ago. GF is sick and I was board so I was looking around for stuff I am not going buy to fuel my Automotive Deficit Disorder and found my old car.

Here is what I can tell you, I sold it about a year ago, with 250K, it was still tight and running strong. It is a true ACR, yellow konis with mopar high rate springs installed at about 150K. Front control arm bushings where done around 200K.

The rocker on the driver side ahead of the rear wheel had rust, I cleaned it up, eastwood rust encapsulator and a patch panel bonded in and pop rivited in, not a projob, but better than some of the shops around here do, it was soft from the wheel opening to about 7-10 inches forward and about 2 inches from the lower seam (done the year before I sold it). Passenger side was fine at the time, some surface rust, rust encapsulatored it also. The front fender on the driver side had rust behind the front wheel and the lower bolts pulled trough. Passenger side rust but solid at the time, it got encapsulated also. The floor pans where solid.

The ad states rebuilt at 150k, I do know the new owner stated he was building an engine for it so I cant comment on that part. I did have the timing belt, waterpump, idler pullys, and all other belts done around 22Ok, new cat and 02 sensors around the same time, and at 250K it still ran strong and was stock with the exception of a drop in K&N. It did use about a quart every 1000 -1500 miles, it did that pretty much since new.

I would buy it back, but I still have the same issue now as then, no where to store it and keep it dry, but its even worse now as I have a legacy shell in the yard that needs to go.

If some one here buys it and wants the original acr springs, I still have them.

The 2nd pic is me filling out the bill of sale for the current owner, I think I may have the missing grill piece from that pic, it had a broken tab, may have given it to the new owner, cant remember.

Damn, seems like a good deal. Still one of my all time favorite cars. Loads of fun to drive and fuel efficient to boot.

I really want another acr. Just not a rusty one.

Someday....

Fuel efficient, and it was getting better when I sold it. For the first 225k I was getting 31mpg, when sold it was up to 36, same commute for 16 years. Guess it was finally broken in.
