For the first 3 or 4 minutes it wants to stall when you drive it, but once it warms up, its ready to go. It sat for about 8 yrs and was put back on the road about a yr ago. During that time, alot of new parts have been installed as needed. town. Ive used it a few time the last few weeks to run to the store and gas station. Some surface rust and a few rot holes, which for an AZ truck is surprising, but check out the pics below for the real story. Nothing to hide. No smoke from the engine and power feels good.
DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, apparently some people who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules. So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid. Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!! These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition that are still affordable to most buyers. DRIVETRAIN: the motor is the 4 cy the best we can tell, matted to an manual trans. Clutch was put in last yr. Radiator was replaced in June. Valve adjustment done about 6 months ago, along with carb rebuild. Starts everytime with the key and will take me anywhere. Idles well, but not ready to drive until it warms up about 3 or 4 minutes. After that, step on the gas and it takes off fine. Tires are just so so, but on some cool factory steel wheels w/ dog dish caps and rings. Brakes feel fine. I believe there was some money spent on parts of the brake system too. Heres the weird thing, it has a little bit of lifter clatter, just sometimes, and sometimes under throttle it gets pretty loud. AND it only happens once in a while., At first I thought maybe it was a rod knock, but it sounds like its coming from the top of the motor. But when I drive it, it has plenty of power and gets around the block okay and up to the store. Only been driving it on short 1 or 2 mile trips just to be safe. Im sure the motor is getting tired, but theres no smoke at all coming outta the exhaust, which btw is new too.
Fuel tank was also cleaned out last yr and e fuel pump added. Maybe V8 swap ????? EXTERIOR: r now brown and old paint, not pretty, the original color was actually a cool pale yellow paint. Best I can tell its only had one repaint over the yrs, probably back in the 80s before clearcoat was used. Rockers solid. Found bondo in one small area, RF corner of the hood. Some rot in a few weird spots, both A pillars at the bottom, drainage here must of been a bad design. Still nothing like an east coast truck this old. Bed has surface rust. Front chrome bumper decent, grill was painted black at one time, a little beat up. Front headlights, tails and brake lights all work. INTERIOR: Tucson has baked the interior pretty well, but luckily most of it all is still there, the important stuff anyways. Making having to track stuff down less of a chore. Carpets removed many yrs ago, and floors have mild rust or rot. (see pics) Not pretty, but functional for a rough daily driver. Maybe just fix up the interior and keep driving it ! Door panels are custom 90s mod. All the glass is okay. SUSPENSION:the suspension feels normal from what I can see .. but old. Works okay as is, and well kept up,. but its a 35+ yr old car, it may need shocks or bushings in the future. No mods at least. Its dirty and a light film of dirt covered most of it for yrs. Could possibly use as is, or maybe take it to the next step. Even under the car, its very Minimal rust under the car, making taking this car apart, almost a breeze. Not alot of resto was done in this area yet.

There you have it, probably The BEST represented 240s on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days speaks volumes. Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.
Email us with ANY questions before you bid please Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. We show you as much feasibly possible via pics. Dont let auctions withlittle to no pics try to fool you.
