I just bought this car here in Texas back in January. I've been down here on business since then and have been daily driving the car with no problems. Now I am nearing the end of my dispatch and will be returning home in about a month. It's beginning to become a hassle to arrange the transportation back to KY so I am looking for an offer to save me the effort. I had this up for sale previously and decided against it, but as time is getting closer to my return home I may just let it go. If I can't get a friend down here with a truck in time I'm looking at ~$500 to ship it, so I'm factoring that into my new asking price. I've considered driving it, but it would get pretty uncomfortable after ~16 hours with no AC.

If you know anything about these cars, you know that the '75s did not look as good as the '71-74, mainly due to safety regulations that required huge front and rear bumpers. This car is almost fully converted to a '72. The rear conversion is complete, including shaving the fuel door from the c-pillar and relocating it to the panel between the tail lights. '72 rear bumper, lower panel, tail lights and center panel are all installed. Up front I have installed a '72 "smiley" bumper that is not pictured here. I've replaced the mirror with a '72 mirror also not pictured.

The car has NO rust problems. Spent almost its whole life in California, the only problem with that is the faded paint. The only rust is VERY light surface rust on part of the core support and under the hood that you can see in the pictures.
It's a great car. I really don't want to sell it, but dealing with transportation back to KY on top of everything else I'm trying to get done before I leave is just a headache. I have 2 other cars in Kentucky and when it comes down to it I just really don't need this one. As much as I hate to see it go, it's just more convenient to sell it.
Asking price is $6,000 OBO. Car is located in San Antonio, TX. If it's sold before the end of June I can be flexible on the price, otherwise it's going home and I'm probably keeping it.
Quick updated picture with mirror and bumpers....
