1978 Miller Meteor End Loader
black crinkle top over silver
grey cloth interior
52,600 miles
The Good:
Low Miles, only 52,600 on original 425 motor
Car had 26,000 when I purchased it in 2001.
Have all service records of major work since purchased.
Car is 100% complete - not missing any coach-specific parts.
Interior is great - headliner, rear compartment, dash, and
front seat are awesome. Only a couple tears in the carpet in the cab.
The Bad:
The car was a daily driver and running with NO problems when it was put into indoor storage about a year ago. Since then, I have started it up and ran it around every couple months. It has developed a knock which I have not investigated yet, could be something as simple as bad gas fouling up a valve. The car was stored with Sta-Bil in the tank, but it has been about a year, so some fresh fuel could do it good.
There is a fuel leak coming from the top of the gas tank. Because it only happens when the car is running, I assume it is coming from the fuel return line running back from the carb. Also have not had time to deal. Might get around to dropping the tank or try blowing out the lines from the carb.
The Ugly:
Surface rust has begun. Paint is bubbling in a couple places, on the rear quarters and back door.
Crinkle paint top needs to be completely stripped and redone.
Rear driver side has been bumped. I have the replacement chrome taillight housing, but the body panel will need to be reworked before installing it. Other than that, the body is straight.
Curtains are wasted.
Asking $1800.
Couple pics are in the gallery - lookup under Eaglebauer 2009.
