Buying tips 78-79 Leone?


Recommended Posts

I have been looking for an older project car to build and I think I have found one I want to do. its a late 70s Leone wagon, 78 or 79 4-door. I am going to go look at it but wanted to ask experienced people what I should look for or be aware of?

 

Its a 4wd, but I don't know which transmission is in it yet. Was planning on making this my daily driver for a while so should I stay away from any particular trans? I believe they came in 4 spd, 5spd, and a 3 spd auto?

 

tnx

*Update*

 

I bought the Wagon, 4 speed 4wd D/R. It hadn't started in over 8 months, and after we got the fuel pump to suck in fuel, the thing instantly started and purred like a subie kitten.

 

Gonna put a tapered washer in the front axle and drive it home hopefully tomorrow. Almost no rust anywhere, only a few dings, gonna be a great fixer/driver. :Flame:
