ABOUT THE CAR9 - The car starts and drives. It drives well but could do with a tune up as it has not had one yet. The steering seems great and really it is a beautiful car as far as we are concerned and as far as the many people who drive past looking are concerned. We understand the car is worth a lot more totally finished but it was donated and we are selling it to raise funds for our non-profit organization. With minimal work you will have an awesome car. We have mentioned most that we know about if there is anything missed ask questions please and remember it is not totally complete in the restoration process for a driver classic car. It does run, drive, start, shift through the gears well. We think you will be happy with the car but wish to try and cover everything. Comments We are told it is numbers matching but from my understanding that means different things to people so will say this. The engine and VIN match, but the brake master cylinder has been replaced and a front caliper so the brake numbers do not match. That's if brake numbers matter we don't really know. We believe it to be matching numbers but you need to confirm that and we are happy to check any numbers asked.9 We have the title in hand and are selling this for a non-profit it was donated to. Title is in the name of the non-profit and proceeds will go to the non-profit as it is titled in their name. Please look at my feedback I personally have already sold a corvette to Australia with positive feedback received.9 We would sell to an international buyer as long as they contact and talk to us first. The car needs to be out of where it is in a reasonable time as it cannot be stored where it is much longer. Car is mostly restored, just a few minor things left to do. We have listed the known work done to date. The reserve is set at less than half the book value and any buyer should understand that although it has had a considerable amount of money spent on it and only needs a minor level of care or work to complete a beautiful classic car project and pass a safety inspection.9 If you wish to import the car to Australia contact me and I will email you the needed steps.9 Happy bidding hope we are all happy with the outcome.9
