needs fitting to plug heater core hose to engine.

needs battery.

before heater core hose broke, car was running in great shape. $7000.00 obo

Please don't be offended by this answer but if you put a battery on it it will help to show that it runs good. You should be able to start it without the heater fitting but it will spew out coolant fluids.

I recommend you fix both items and take it for a spin. Be warned though, after driving you may decide to keep it. These cars are a lot of fun and yours being what appears to be a rust free one is an excellent canvas to start with. I WISH mine were rust free! lol

Good luck with the sale.

None taken, and thanks for the feedback. I just don't see spending 100 bucks on a battery when I can't even start it with out all the coolant spewing all over the place. And I looked into pluging the block and it's just to much work. But I just might have to do that to get itto sell. I'll be more motivated to get all tht going as I get closer to a sale.

Thanks

Take one of the heater hoses off and loop the other one back to where you took the first one off, takes the heater core off line so it doesn't leak.

Nope, his problem is a fitting broken off at the water pump. Nothing a 35.00 water pump and an hours labor wouldn't fix

Dude, you should really just fix it. Then you shouldn't have a problem selling it for close to what you're asking (depending on rust, parts, etc.). Otherwise nobody will pay anything near $7k for a plain-jane sportsroof that they can't start up and run. Just saying.

BTW, nothing against plain-jane sportsroofs. I have one (2F02F - '72 302 SR).

Yah it looks like it gonna be best to get it running. I thought some one would be interested in it the way it is. But I'm ginna have to break down and get it done. Hey who knows maybe I will like it and end up keeping it huh?
