Kingbuzzo, you have a '74 TA, mine had a factory ratchet shifter and I'm fairly certain they all did if they were floor shifted autos.

To me, that's a way more exciting car than you're run-of-the-mill TA out there. I love it. And talk about a rare car. Man.

Some things are SO easy to get right, but are NOT... I doubt even the new owner would flatted that thick shock plate and install the rubbers correctly and insure the center bolt can work. The rear anti sway bar is now at a wrong angle as well in the shock plate. Think it ever got any grease?
A suspension system that doesn't move is NOT a suspension..
Oh, but the "stance" , yeah thats all that matters... to most

That was a rough test-drive video...reminds me of the roads here 🙄

Everyone complaining about all the part swaps poor buggar. Maybe this one will be a down-to-earth sale at least...

Has PCV/EEC hose under the hood with mm printing. Gas cap looks replaced. Other touches here and there. I'd like to know more about the master cylinder too.

He added the rear console but still cool. How many shipped with that?

That seems like pretty good money for the condition of that car.
