Hey guys - gals!
I've been searching for a ra29, for a few years now
And spotted this 76 liftback in an old garage
Stopped talked with the guy and purchased the beaut for a whopping sum of 700
Plus's 8 hours of driving to go back for it!!
A bit of dust....
And then a carwash visit for the great unveiling
Glad to be a member of 1stgencelica

It does run now! Haha
A guy drove it up to PA from Florida in 98 and parked it a few months afterwards
Sat there since!!
I had to flush the gas tank
rebuild the carb
new fuel pump
And new points set
Fires right up and rolls down the road!
(Admittedly a bit of tire shake) haha

Welcome to !stgencelica.com!
nice find! how is the structural integrity of the chassis rust wise? Interior?
from those dust photos I thought the car was two-tone!
the wash of a lifetime
post more pics!
If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious $#!+.

I'm from the southeast corner Lancaster co.
How about you??
As far as rust this is just weird surface rust from humidity and such
I did find rust under the rear window seal
What have u guys done for that tricky area??

Right on, hopefully continues to be solid and no surprise areas pop up…
about that little area under the window?…time for a new hatch

This car had to be purchased when the opportunity arose and now its OK with me if the restoration takes a couple years so long as I do it correctly!!! Haha
