Vehicle Detail

Listing this car for my brother. He bought it 30 years ago in Mounntain View, California, and moved to Fairfield, Iowa in 1999 Since '99, the car has been driven less than 500 miles. Before this week, the car hadn't been started in 3-4 years. Headlights, taillights, blinkers, tachometer, horn all work Starts up easily and idles. It idles high because one carb slide is open more than the other. No smoke from muffler. Clutch pedal went straight to the floor. So... you can't drive it home. You could take it to a local shop to have the clutch fixed, then drive it home. Body is really straight with just a few spots of rust, like one on the trunk lip. Chrome trim on front left, above the wheel, is smashed a little(see pic) I opened the passenger door and the trim caught, so it's a spot that needs attention too. I'm using the spare. One tire went flat and they probably all should be replaced. The interior is old, probably the original carpet. The back seats look original and it all needs to be replaced. The electric overdrive light comes on when you flip it. It worked when parked. Miles- unknown I surely have left things out, and I'll respond as soon as I can to any and all questions. The car is in Fairfield, Iowa, and can be picked up during the week, but not the weekends. The B20 motor in picture is available for an extra $200On Sep-11-12 at 19:54:19 PDT, seller added the following information: I notice that there's a spot on my camera lens that is not in the paint, and we didn't do a real good job of washing it. We just hosed it off, so you'll see dirt and such. Thge reserve is quite low, so it'll sell. If it doesn't meet reserve, we'll lower it until it does, without actually giving it away. With a little work, it'll be a good car.On Sep-16-12 at 02:58:49 PDT, seller added the following information: Here's the information on the tag under the hood: Type 18345 VB Chassis Nr 6375 Colour 79 Upholst 305-218On Sep-17-12 at 19:29:41 PDT, seller added the following information: Okay, the car was looked over for rust, and the floors, trunk, and rocker panels have little or no rust! I have some pics. They are not so great, but if you want to see them, e-mail me at orngard@yahoo.com
