Vehicle Detail
Selling for a friend,This is a True 400 4bbl Automatic convertible with PHS docs,restoration was started more than 20 years ago by current owners.Most exterior sheet metal has been replaced by local body shop with New G.M. Parts,frame,trunk panels and floor panels are all in very good solid condition,No rust or rot.All suspension parts are original.The original 400 4 bbl motor was replaced with a strong running 72 400 2 bbl motor,original Turbo 400 trans.Also includes rechromed bumpers,400 hood scoops.New paint job was done about 5 years ago by a local body shop and is great condition.Most exterior chrome trim or nameplates were not re-installed but are included.The car includes a new custom made leather convertible top,all mechanicals included for top,need to be reinstalled.The Original leather interior is 95% complete and in very good condition,includes the floor console&shifter and also the AM/FM radio,door panels and trim pieces,needs new carpeting and re-installation.Overall I would say the car is about 85% completed and will require completing the interior and detailing under the hood,a little exaust work needed also.This is an a very rare 400 Convertible with Air Conditioning,not too many of those made back then. ATTN: This vehicle although started on a somewhat regular basis this vehicle has NOT been driven anywhere in the last 20+ years,Please don't ask me if I think you can drive it back to California,however once completed this will be an excellent cruiser or possible Show,only limited to your abitlities and resources.Because of their age and health issues the owners decided it was time to sacrifice this beauty to a new owner to complete and appreciate.Please feel free to make a reasonable offer and ask any questions,I will try to answer quickly,Email me for phone number or leave your's,ThanksOn Aug-22-10 at 11:45:24 PDT, seller added the following information: Hello,I've attached a picture of PHS Documents{hard to read} Vin# 2-2367-8-U-131194,Factory Equipment as from factoy > 400 4bbl YT 330HPMotor,T-400 Trans,Convertible Top,AM/FM Radio,Rear Speaker,Spare Cover,Door Edge Guards,Visor Mirror,Remote Side Mirror,Seat Belts,Cruise Control,Wire wheels Discs,Console,Clock,Dual Exhaust,Deck lid release,Power Steering,Power Brakes,Tilt Wheel,Soft Ray Glass,Power Top,Air Conditioning,Floding Rear Seat,Floor Mats,Dual Stage Air Cleaner,Car was originally Light Blue,ThanksOn Aug-25-10 at 14:40:56 PDT, seller added the following information: ATTN: 8-25-10 After having a conversation with the elderly couple that own this car I was asked to go ahead a lower the reserve price to insure that the car would be sold to someone that would complete this beautiful vehicle and realize its true value.Because of their age and health they will soon be liquidating assets and transfering to a senior type housing and care facility,they just can no longer hold on to dreams.They currently have 5 other vehicles and two large garages of parts and equipment that will eventually be sold off as well,therefore the next bid placed will remove the small remaining reserve amount of $10 and then it will be an open auction to high bidder,GOOD LUCK and Thanks for your interest,Gary
