I saw this on Facebook Marketplace. I don't know the car or the seller. Just passing along the ad. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2030303734127272/ From the seller:

Thanks for posting. I'm going to add photos too since Facebook can be weird if you don't have an account. Info from the seller:

Well, it wasn't the strut rod bushings. :( I replaced those last night (way, WAY more than a 20 min job!) and went out late for a hopeful test drive. But no luck. Same problem. Having my power steering work again definitely makes the braking problem easier to manage. If I brake like normal and...

Thanks. Steve. I just went out and checked and the bushings are very hard and I can wiggle both strut rods by hand, so that's not good. I already have new strut rod bushings in the garage, so replacing them is my next step. Should be a quick 20 minute task (of course I just jinxed myself by...

I cleaned up the oil on the right rear drum/shoes and did a bit of test driving last night. Still the same issue (I didn't really expect cleaning off the little bit of oil to actually fix anything) I was on the same page as you Marty and did some skid tests, but it was dark and I was alone, so...

Yes, I replaced all the rubber hoses.

Calipers are on correct sides. The brakes worked fine a few years ago before I pulled the engine, did body work, paint, etc. I started a new thread on my brake woes: https://californiaspecial.com/forums/threads/brakes-pull-hard-to-the-right-front-power-discs-rear-drums.14908/

I'm finally getting my HCS on the road again after rebuilding the engine and transmission. And now the brakes pull hard to the right. If I brake slowly it definitely pulls right, but I can easily control it with the steering wheel. But if I slam on the brakes I have to really hang on tight to...

The seller (actually neighbor of the seller, who is the one helping with the sale) just let me know the price has dropped to $15,000

I had time this morning to hook up the pressure guage and the pump was creating ZERO pressure. Aarrggghhh! So I bought a pump cartridge from my local parts store, installed it and now the power steering works fine. I was only able to test it in the garage because I'm also dealing with a brake...

Marty, I've contacted the seller about also adding it to the online registry. Should I send this to Mike and Arlie too, or is it good now that you have it?

Marti report is in my 1st post. It's the very last attachment at the bottom. Price per the FB post is $22,000

This car is in Paul's 2011 book, but with no info other than VIN and owner name (not sure if that owner is the same as the current seller). But @classicsguy just ordered a Marti report confirming it's a true HCS. See the last attachment to this post. I'm in AZ and normally would be happy to...

Thanks for the reply Steve. I did rebuild the pump myself, as opposed to buying a rebuilt cartridge. Honestly it was just gaskets, seals and O-rings, although I did have to replace the pressure plate because it was cracked in half...

I rebuilt my PS pump when I rebuilt my 289 a few months back. the new engine has been in the car and running fine with test drives around the block, but I finally got a chance to install the PS pump yesterday. The problem is the car still feels like it's 100% manual steering. I turned the...

I had multiple vent windows and took the best parts from each.

The vent window seals were easy enough to install in the frame. Then the division bar gets installed, and the small metal tabs in the seal need to be bent over to hold it in place. I used a sharpie to mark the glass runner channel before I disassembled, which was helpful to be sure I got it...

This weekend I rebuilt my front vent windows, replacing the seals, chrome levers and window run weatherstrip. So I thought I've post some photos of the process in case it helps someone in the future. To replace the seal you need to remove the factory rivets holding the division bar to the vent...

Sorry, I can't help since I don't have any extra. But just to clarify so others know what you're looking for, do you mean the large flat washer that sits on the surface of the hood, or the small serrated retaining washer on the shaft?

The script placement looks OK to me. Here's my original (repainted) trunk and emblem.
