Not sure, but aren't the wheels wrong for that year also ?
Shouldn't they be steel ?

Yes, the 10-holes are on the car because it has 87-up 11" front brakes, which will not work with the steel wheels. Original wheels and caps (and brakes) went with the car when I sold it, but who knows what happened to those...

It's back up for sale, but apparently it needs a new clutch and carb now -

You know when that CHP car brought 35k at a auction down South, I knew it spelled trouble for the hobby. Now there is going to be more flippers/dealers trying to make the big bucks.
I guess it does make members who own SSP's more valuable but doesn't help members who are searching for one.
This poor car is less expensive but is priced too high, in my opinion, for the work it needs.
Time to tap-out.

Do we know (from the previous owners) what, if any, the major issues with the car are? Like why were the brakes changed out for a later year style?

Is this the one that used to be all black that I've seen pics online of?
