. . . at Sloan's?

Times must be tough.

Considering there's another '73 'S' there --- for $98.5k --- the white car looks like a deal . . . at least from the photos. (Although their description is off: no Sports Seats appear to be fitted.)

Find a local member/expert to take with you, then run down and have a look, take a drive.

And bring your check-book --- just in case you want to leave a deposit pending a PPI.

That's exactly what I was thinking...an affordable car at Sloan!!! Hahaha...but then I saw the second reply that it is sold....figures...

Correct....they also have a silver one with full documentation, air conditioning, and sunroof at a substantially higher price:

comments welcome.

For $98.5 shouldn't the details be correct?

Engine: no MFI warmup/preheat, black fan, no Shell sticker on intake. Coil is too "new" at least paint it black.

Body: Incorrect drivers side mirror (too big). I don't like the hood fit for $98.5. Hood badge looks too dark red for me, but it could be my eyes and monitor. Fit on the engine lid is off on the right lower corner. Shouldn't the 2.4 badge be black anodized?

Interior: Not bad, but the radio appears to be not period correct though they did have a cassette option in 1973. Dash is the replacement type that doesn't have the separate speaker.

just my .02 from lurking around here.

OH, and the tires look cheap to me, should be XWX's or CN36's for that price

Any other Sloan cars you want me to pick apart? Happy to start on both of those 67S's.

Always makes me wonder when a two owner car is listed, like his two 67's, without stating the mileage.

And why does the text in his ads read, e.g. "nine (9) options". Can't the people looking at the ads read?

How about the '73RS?

[fastrnu]

How about the '73RS?

Sure!

Body: Incorrect outside mirror once again, turn and tail lenses should be Euro as there were no legal US road vehicles, as I don't believe you could still do an "individual entry" in 1973, that ended in 1971 as I recall.

Tires are too low profile, would have had taller profile. OE centercaps on wheels wouldn't have that different of a finish from the wheels in 1973.

Engine looks like a Motormeister abortion with that silly red fan, at least the coil looks better and I like the curly wire ground. Where's the engine pre-heat? Updated tensioners aren't truly correct, should run mechanical stops instead so that visually it would be correct.


Interior looks hideous... looks like Mohlman put one of his companies steering wheels (or is he just President of Momo watches?) in the car and then didn't pony up for some real houndstooth or the correct type wide cord. Just kiddin, this car couldn't have gone through Mohlman or it would be perfect.


Or maybe Smith told Sloan that everything on this car was perfect?

That's a quick .02

73 RS - no door pockets , front spoiler not original, not sure about the mirror I guess it would depend on which country delivered , lens also on which country but USA ain't right.
