    Inner hubs not staying on

    It is the rear drivers side. I smelled smoke when I pulled up to an intersection. When I looked at it, noticed the one lug nut missing and it was way too hot to touch to ensure the others were tight. It was squealing some on start up but went away after a bit.

    1974 vs 1975

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I checked it out again today and think I can use the mirrors, some chrome pieces, door locks and maybe seats so far. Looks like I already made my money back for sure. I don't need any of the body panels so if anyone is interested I'll be looking to unload the...

    Vin numbers on 1975 coupe

    Insurance The issue here is that because I need an appraisal for insurance purposes, the appraiser won't give me anything without the VIN tag showing the car matches that ownership. So, the insurance company wants a crazy amount without collision coverage unless I can put it under the Vintage...
