Around my work, rumors of someone owning a rare Volare' with 4 speed existed. I finally found the owner today.
This is what I found out:
Original low option car- manual brake / manual steering
AC and Ac controls were added from a donor . V twin compressor type R12
7 1/4 rear slant 6 car 1bbl
It is a 4 DOOR.... so it was driven as a daily up to a few years ago - less than 10 but more than 5.
I have not seen the car, but other coworkers have.
It is sitting in the owner's mother's yard so it may be turning to dust.
So here is the Plan:
Buy it and either drive it home or trailer it.
If owner won't go for that since he is attached to the slant6,
I want the floor, trans, pedals, bumpers and grille.
OH and the manual brake plate for the firewall. As well the manual steering box for my Volare.
I plan the copy the firewall manual brake plate at a local metal shop and make a few copies. Similar I want to figure out the floor for copying to make a 6 speed fit.
The car has around 300 K and owner thinks it is a 76. I think he is not correct, but I'll see in about 3 weeks.
I'll get pics and post. Anyone have any wants and needs. Obviously, I don't need the grille but will need a respectable offer for it since the guy is not giving me the car. I am buying it. So let me know
