Whoever wins this car is going to get a hell of a deal. I have listed it before and wont list it again. I dont need to sell it i just hate seeing it sit in the garage. I would love for someone to just enjoy it thats what it was built for. I wish that person could be me but no such luck. Interior is clean for its age but not perfect. It is complete nothing missing. Carpet is very clean. It has a JVC tape deck in it but i have the OEM radio and a new OEM radio mounting plate so it can be put back to stock if you wish. Interior is over all pretty clean with normal sun fading. Drivers seat has a split on the stitch but all other seats are fine. Rear seat was lifted up it's not damaged just out of place in the picture. Seat is back in place now. No rot in the 1/4 panels and floors are VERY clean which is rare to find. This car has been garaged sinse the day it was bought and lady owned for the first 24 years of its life. I bought the car in 2002 and have garaged it just the same. Car was painted about 16 years ago with te OEM color. She's got 74,xxx miles on the clock and maybe 10 on the build. I built it and no longer have time for it. My life was very different when i built this car about 4 years ago. Its in the garage under a cover. Over all she's a beautiful car for being over 30 years old and in great shape for her age. While the engine was out all the wiring was gone through, cleaned up, all new loom, and engine bay was cleaned and painted with POR-15. The car currently has no heat or ac but all duct work and controlls are still in the car. I do have an AC delete box and blower motor that i will also include.
