Sellers description:
I bought this car from Texas. It is rust free and I had it painted 5 or 6 years ago. It pretty much sits in my garage except for an occasional 1/2 drive. Today I was showing it to a potential buyer and the engine started making a loud ticking noise. With a stethoscope it is loudest at the right hand cylinder head. I am sure this is the dropped valve seat. I do have a pair of heads and a tool to remove the heads. I bought these things years ago just in case. Guess it was a good thing I bought these. I have no time for a few months to work on this. So I decided if I can get my reserve I would just let the car go. If not, I will repair it over the winter and sell it in the spring.
