Just bought a CS1 (74) Spider

Post by prodigalson »

I'm excited to get one! Looks to be completely original except it's been painted. Carb is a 34 DMSA, engine is 132A10404 (1800cc) and the ex manifold is a 4-2-1. Runs decent, I'm sure I'll have tons of questions as I go.

Seller also included a complete parts car. :D

Are these the original wheels? Not sure if I can clean them up. IF not, then I'll powdercoat them. There's exactly one 13" tire option on tirerack.

Here's the parts car:

No, the wheels aren't original, but the original steel wheels are cheap and plentiful.
13 inch rubber is almost nonexistent, which is why many have opted for a 15 inch wheel.
Nice find by the way.
