FS: 74 Repu

Selling a 74 Repu with 1k miles on a fresh rebuilt 13b 4 port motor. 5 Speed tranny from a 79 Rx7 with 60k on the clock. New carpet, new body work, bedlined floorboards, bedlined undercarriage, RB header, RB Presilencer, Flowmaster Muffler, New Fuel Pump, Tank drained and cleaned, Carb cleaned and tuned, New rear schocks, Truck is white and is an 7 on a 1-10 scale. To be perfect i would have a complete paint job done and get the bed bedlined.
Was building this truck for myself but have bought a 1977 all original from Cali.
I am driving this truck daily now so miles on motor will go up a bit.
$4500 OBO

Nashvillle, TN.

Sorry to those of you who wanted this truck before sorry it took so long to get the rust fixed. Instead of using bondo or glass I had all the holes welded up so to have metal in there instead of filler that will crack later.

Pic one is a hole someone drilled into the body, pic two is it filled from welding it shut.

As for the people that are interested in her, like I tell everyone money talks. No one has left a deposit so we will see. I have an offer for 4100 and he wants to come see it this weekend, so it might be gone soon.

OK guys and gals.

I have had alot of PM's on this truck as well as a local person that wants to put down some money on it. As of right now the truck is not sold nor has any money (deposit) been put on it. After the pictures seen above, I was not happy with the touch up paint so I had to find a closer match. White is a bit hard to match exactly.

Also I have put off several school projects (Yes, 32 and still in school) to work on this truck and to work alot of overtime at work. I now have to spend the next 2-3 days on school so I can keep my grades up. I should have the new touch up paint on later this week and will try to get the complete truck buffed out.
I have made plans for the local guy to come and look at it on friday or saturday.

I also have poliched out the lips a bit more on the rims. Man, they bling when the light hits them. I really like how this truck has turned out and hope she goes to a good home that will keep the resto going.

Sorry I posted this and the truck is not completely 100% ready but I thought I would have a little time. I did not think this many people would be interested in a REPU.

Is that a Disc Golf bag on the passengers floorboard? I've been playing Disc Golf for over 30 years (PGDA 3348).

Truck has a rebuilt motor with 1K on it, so I would say she runs great. Once 1500-2000 miles get put on her I will feel safe to take it past the 4-5k mark.

As for what is left? That really depends on you.
If I keep it I will end up having the bed sprayed lined by Line-X, Get the door panels redone, replace the ball joints, tierod ends, etc, and get a good front end alignment.
But then I would know I could drive to Cali if i wanted with no worries.
So again it is really up to you.

Thanks. I have 3 people that seem serious and about 5-6 that are interested. For what I am asking and have done to her I probally should ask a bit more but want her to go to a good home or she can stay with me. I mean 6 rotaries is cool but to have 3 repu's is even cooler.

Tomorrow is the day that the truck is open to views. Got one person coming at 1pm to look at her, then another person might be buy around 5pm.

Anyone interested hit me up. I have stopped putting time and money into her for now, unless I keep her.

Ok, a few more pictures of the truck from today. Man she looks really good.

Anyhow, Jeff came out today and looked her over. We went for a drive and he said he wants the truck. I would say she is sold but we have to work out the details on getting the cash since his credit union is out of town. Not to sure about taking personal checks even if I hold the title till it clears just because I never had to do it. So it might still be for sale although I would say not so If your interested in it let me know as I am starting a new list of names incase for some reason this deal falls thru.

Look these pics over.....
$4500 for this truck is a real deal and check out that chrome lip on the rims.
