It was cheap, like derby guy cheap and 5 minutes from my house so as soon as I saw it on Offer Up I jumped on it. 4 Dr with a horrible silver paint job but originally Q4 turquoise. All the trim is in the trunk I'm told. Runs but not well. No battery in it so I haven't started it or checked anything out yet. Good AZ title too!

Looks like it'll be a good project with a good result! 383 2bbl 2.76 with AT keeping the interior comfortable.

Thanks for rescuing it and saving it to cruise another day!

Tried starting it yesterday and it would start for a second with gas down the carb but must have some kind of a no spark issue. I'll try to mess with it more today. I did pull all the trim out and found 2 things missing. The left front molding and both front marker reflectors. The right molding is pictured to show which one I need.

Well I got it running on a prime. Have to go get a fuel pump tomorrow so it will Stay running. It had a bad distributor but luckily I had a good one laying around. Sounded good while it was running so I'm optimistic it will be a driver soon.
 
Looking forward to your progress with this one! Going to look for your parts tomorrow, I know at the minimum I have the marker lights. I thought the wagon came with the bright work but I'm not seeing it anywhere.

PS: Please paint it turquoise again one day.

Thanks for looking Wyatt. If any of the plastic clips are good I need all of them too. And yes the plan is to definitely go back to the Q4.
 
Cool! Look forward to seeing DH43G9D225577 back in its original turquoise livery. @69CoronetRT will tell us about the original top color (do I read V1X ?)

Probably.....you will not see many black interiors with a white ( v1w ) vinyl top.

Saying that....i owned a Q4 with white/black interior and black vinyl top....
Orig 383 4bbl , that was a fast car!!!
