hello all. just taken the plunge today and bought a 1971 3500s. the p6 has always been on my classic car wishlist and now i've finally gone and done it. not sure if its wise to go for a v8 but you only live once
i am collecting the car on saturday and will post some pictures as soon as...she is mexico brown with a vinyl roof, leather interior and seems pretty sound. i had a good look around the boot, under the back seats, around the sills etc and couldn't turn up any rust. the engine oil pressure is 30+ on the gauge when the engine is warm. the gearbox has been replaced with a 5 speed from an sd1. there are lots of little bits which need attention though, it is far from concours. the tops of the rear seats have split, the windscreen surround rubber is split in places, the intermittent wiper setting doesn't and the washers don't, the speedo doesn't read correctly (presumably due to the 5 speed box, hope this is easy to sort!) i am sure i will be posting questions on all these irritating things as i get around to looking at them.
the car comes with 2 large red ring bound workshop manuals and a boot full of old spare parts as well.
don't see many p6's in northampton on my travels, are there any people on the forum who are nearby?
