that's a bargin,, for one thing,you don't need a tech in a white coat with a computer charging 80 bucks an hour to tell you is what wrong with it when it don't run and 6 more techs to pair it, anyone with a little mechanical knowledge can fix a 73 and back then, parts could be rebuilt for a few dollars, today everything on a trk cost a few hundred dollars, even a simple tune up is 500.color me ignorant, but $8500

Well I looked
At 4900 it's a bad deal the back floor board was rusted thru inside looked like the "Bates Motel" and smelled like it, showed 59 K miles so it's turned over once for sure...
If you got it for maybe 2 K max and spent 3 K to really bring it back you'd have something.. but for 5 K you can buy something that's better...to bad, I always did like them ol rigs

Your right on the chevy thing , but it was obsolete when they bought the molds, it has no parts in common with chevy 6 cylinders built since '63. the differentials were also chev knock offs, also obsolete, not used since '63
