Description
The strengthening of the chassis was done at the sills, the windscreen pillars were gusseted on the seams (see book photograph, main picture). This part of the roof work was done by local company, Trust Manufacturing Co.
It came with a blue interior originally, which has since been changed to the current caramel hides you see today. It is in driver condition, with many documents and receipts for work done in the past 40+ years.
With her original Campagnolo wheels, she has had 1 re-spray (by Gene Winfield btw for you SoCal hot rod nuts), in 1982, major services (hydraulics/clutch) in 2003 and 2008, and remains largely original with 76,9xx miles showing.
The paint is not perfect, nor is it a show car, but more of a "good ol' nail of a driver" (as my friend says). Tons of paperwork and receipts go with the car, detailed documentation and papers for everything that was worked on.
The Merak is really just a nice, California, no major issues Driver, that needs a new home, she starts right up @ cold, idles great, doesn't run hot, shifts, brakes and drives down the road quite well. She has never been wrecked, or damaged, clean, no issues, straight car, with no Smog too!!! (we have a Video of a Cold start and a quick drive off in her).
Please keep in mind, this car is 50+ years old! It has never been restored, it has it's imperfections, so if you're looking for a "show" car, move on! I am upfront and blunt, I do not need to sugarcoat things like some people who sell. Pooling through the documentation on her, what I'm asking for the car and than some, adds up in receipts alone...
A clean, no stories Title (1975 NO SMOG!) comes with the car. The Merak also comes with (2) keys, original Owner's Manual, receipts/documentation.
Some areas of attention are as follows.
-All of the hydraulic lights on the dash work, and gauges (except noted gas gauge)
-A/C car, but currently non-functional, fan motor and defrost etc. run though
-Crack rear flying buttress (picture)
-Crack front bumper (picture)
-Chip in hood above Trident (picture)
-Hood latch is not working properly (hence the "ajar" look of the fitment per pictures, common)
-Driver window is slow going up/down
-Gas gauge is INOP
If you need more information or pictures, please let me know I'll do my best.
