FS: 74 REPU $8k, Nashvill,e TN 37212

repu510 · 04-09-2008, 04:10 PM

I'm probably going to regret this, but I'm putting the REPU up for sale. New job and other stuff coming up, so I dont have room for this anymore... prefer to sell locally to keep in the state, but money talks.

about 2k miles on rebuilt 13B 4-port motor by C&C of Murfreesboro.
Owned for about 1.5 years. Only put about 1k miles since I've had it.

White w/ black interior
no kids, no pets, non-smoker
Fairly new carpet kit, in good shape. No wear marks or holes.
Rides firm, but very controlled.
Steering pretty tight. Very little play or wander.

Since purchase, I've done the following:
Rear end FD LSD upgrade
New rear leaf bushings
New brake lines all around
New front upper ball joints
New front sway bar bushings
New front idler arm
New KYB Gas-A-Adjust shocks all around
New rear brake shoes
New sliding rear window
Factory A/C (not hooked up yet, but working on it)
New Carter fuel pump
Relined fuel tank (professionally done, not a backyard job)
New fuel hoses
Upgraded to FC alternator w/ internal regulator
Recovered door and kick panels w/ new vapor barrier.
Has Volk TE37X rims, but will remove for lower price.

Can include a few other things if price is right:
Axxis Front brake pads
Outer tie rod ends
Lower ball joints
Mazdaspeed steering wheel (no hub though)
Racing Beat Power Pulse air filter assembly w/ K&N filter
Racing Beat dual belt alternator pulley
New clutch master and slave cylinder w/ SS line
New tail lamp lenses
Extra window crank handle
Extra door release handle

PM me. I'll try to post pics asap.

a couple of notes:
engine pic - repu will not come w/ the fuel pressure gauge, power pulse filter assembly, or dual belt pulley.

interior - i did not install the kick panels yet in this shot and a different steering wheel will be installed.

bump for a sweet truck! I really miss here.
Everything posted about her is true. She is a good truck. We did build a 4port so she is a 13b 4port like factory.

Jeff, make sure she goes to a good home.

repu510 · 04-15-2008, 12:51 AM

Thanks Chad,
Will definitely make sure of it.

Love the truck, in fact Im looking at a similar one locally right now. Yours is def. nicer (but more $$ and too damn far!)

repu510 · 04-15-2008, 12:06 PM

thanks!
i'd also need to mention that it has a 5MT trans and just filled w/ Royal Purple. Shifts smoothly w/ no grinding in any gear.

WOW! Nice truck!! Tempting... but my wife will kill me if I bought something like that!

repu510 · 04-22-2008, 02:19 AM

thanks again for the compliments! i'd love to keep the truck, but my new job requires me to have a 4 door, so the REPU would have to magically turn into a crew cab. haha... also, with my 510 just about complete from the restoration, the repu would probably not get the attention it deserves, so i would like for it to go to a good home.

Hello

Humm, thinking of adding it to my collection. Have you done more work on her such as connect the AC or put in the door panels yet? Was she originally white? How is the battery box, all parts there?

Regards

Max

repu510 · 05-04-2008, 12:11 AM

the ac hasn't been installed yet, but hoping to put in the underdash portion of the unit within the next week. lines will need to be found or made.

door panels and kick panels are in. not really a whole lot more needs to be done. maybe center link, lower ball joints, and bed liner would be the small things that i think it still needs. o yea, the fuel gauge needs a look. it doesn't read accurately, but i think contacts just need to be cleaned.

orig color was green. so not original paint.

battery box - as far as i know, its complete. i've heard all kinds of stuff about sliding battery trays, battery hold down straps, etc, but i've never seen an OEM one.

repu510 · 05-04-2008, 12:16 AM

more pics for you to ponder...

leknaw · 05-21-2008, 02:45 PM

That sure is one of the sweetest REPUs i've seeing. I have own 5 of them and best better looking one did not came close to it. Where did you get that shift knob?

repu510 · 05-27-2008, 02:52 PM

ebay, of course!!! i think it definitely adds a little somethin somethin to the overall vintage feel of the truck.

repu510 · 05-29-2008, 11:45 AM

there hasn't been much interest. i guess i'm asking too much...
so i'll keep it for now. stay tuned for updates as work will continue to improve this bad boy... work to tighten up the steering and suspension more will continue, the a/c will get plumbed, and spray-in bed liner. still open to offers though!
