In Search of a Project Car

That 73 for £22k is a very reasonable buy for the UK. A bit of overspray on a rubber?? a piece of trim missing?? the cars 51 years old.

Wonder what the costs would be today to get the A/C functional again ?
What shape all the A/C system condition is and converting it for the Freon allowed today

Probably more than most owners are willing to pay I’m afraid.

ZR1 Jon, the power steering in that '73 is there......its just under the alternator.

OK
Why does the crank damper pulley look like 2 belts are missing ?
Could one be for smog pump if they had them, and then also for the A/C ?

Can't speak for SBC with multiple acc's like a/c compressor and perhaps smog pump - BBC can have 'fixed length' unadjustable belt around water pump and crank pulley plus additional belt 'looped' also around crank, water pump then over to PS/Alternator? (presumably if on driver side)

I replaced everything except for the liquid line and it cost less than £600
