"Sabrina" is an excellent example of one of the last "chrome bumper", actory overdrive, GBs. In the mid-nineties, he was re-painted her original teal blue, iven a new top, ew leather upholstery, nd the body undercoated. Since that time, he has been driven very little, nd kept in covered, limate-controlled spaces. From 2002 to 2014, or example, he was driven just 2,500 miles.
There does not appear to have ever been a bit of rust on Sabrina. Before purchasing her, had her inspected by a body shop that specializes in car restoration, nd they reported that there was absolutely no evidence of body fillers or an indication that any panels had ever been replaced. As of this writing, he finish is as close to flawless as one could expect it to be.
I recently removed the cylinder head, ecause I wanted to install hardened exhaust valve seats in order to use unleaded gas. At the machine shop, he head was magnafluxed, leaned, esurfaced, nd all new valves/springs/guides, tc., ere installed along with the hardened seats. The engine does not burn oil, nd the compression is perfectly even in all 4 cylinders. While this work was being done, re-built the original SU carburetors, nstalled a new electronic distributor, oil, lug wires, nd inspected all hoses. The tachometer was working intermittently and the trip odometer was not working, o I sent both instruments off for a rebuild.
The transmission works smoothly, ith no noise, nd the overdrive is a real pleasure when driving on the freeway.
Sabrina turns a lot of heads. I am selling her to make room for another vehicle.
