WTB - Looking for an enthusiast/mechanic ideally located within 100 miles of central Vermont (Ludlow, VT 05149) for top to bottom inspection and service of 1967 Thiokol Imp to get it ready for this winter season- change all idler wheels, repack hubs, open differential and inspect, replace brake bands if required, change all fluids and grease all joints, replace radiator hoses, new spark plugs, tune V-4 engine, confirm operation and condition of brake masters and slaves, water pump, alternator, and fuel pump etc.
 
Presuming it's a new acquisition...all the regular stuff when going through an unknown. Nothing that a DIY shade tree mechanic can't handle, been there done that. The hardest part is dealing with removing/replacing the tracks.
Not a big chore to open up the C4 differential inspection plate and if needed replace or rebuild the brake bands. If your brake hydraulics are still building pressure and not leaking, then no worries there.
Engine access is somewhat of a bear, but mostly for anything up front like belt replacement or checking ignition timing. If I didn't live 3000 miles away I would be happy to skin my knuckles on your machine.
