The needs are very few on this car.This is what needs to be adressed; Heater/AC control needs new cables installed as they are frozen from years of non use,AC belt installed and system charged from years of non use,sun visors dyed to match and re-installed.The tire rod ends,ball joints and center link are all original but do not have an issue with them as the car steers straight with no tire wear evident.Just thought i would mention that.The shocks and springs are also original from 1978. This vehichle is being sold AS IS WHERE IS with NO WARRANTY expressed or implied.No Joy Riders Please I will miss this car as it was a project build with my son but at this time we need the space and we don't drive it enough to warrant keeping it in storage when I know someone out there will enjoy taking this car to Car Shows or just out for a cruise in the country or maybe in a parade.Would make a great gift for that graduating high school or college senior.May consider partial trades for example 3 bedroom farmhouse with land that has private sewer and water or 99 or newer 26+foot Camper or toyhauler camper + cash,VW trike or Harley trike plus the differnce in cash.I have over 28,500.00 invested in the car so i ask that serious bidders only.
