Vehicle Detail

This vehicle is a head turner, I named it Apollo 17 since it looks like the Saturn V rocket used on Apollo 17, and 72 was the last Apollo flight, rare to see a hardtop black on white, these are the original colors. I bought this car from an older couple who put 78,000 miles on it (it now has 80k original). After many enjoyable weekends of TLC, I replaced the the vinyl top, fresh upholstery to the seats, installed noise and heat dampening inside the whole floor board (that 500 rumbles pretty loud), then installed fresh carpet, new 3 core aluminum radiator, new shocks and CV boots, changed the points to an electric module, new AC compressor (blows cold). Runs excellent, transmission is smooth, floats on the freeway. It sits on 18" with about 80% on the Goodyears, the original tires and hubcaps come with the car if you like it original. Changed out the speakers to Bose on the front dash and rear. I absolutely love this car, it is a classic piece of Americana I wish I could keep it, but we just had twin boys. I only have one of the side wheel skirts, I like it better with them off. Car still has the automatic leveling compressor, but it wasn't working so I went with KYB shocks front and rear. Paint is about a 7-8 out of 10, it looks amazing, shines and has the original pin striping. This car is about 95% complete. The passenger door needs to have the door pull fixed, the driver door lock doesn't engage with the key, but the power lock does. It has a few minor details (crack in the winshield $250.00), but the heavy labor has been done. I've put over $3200 into this car, with my touches, but its ready for yours. It really is an eye catcher, you'll get so many compliments from all kinds of folks, prepare to do a lot of stop and chats. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
