I BOUGHT THIS ONE OWNER CALIFORNIA CLASSIC IN MARCH  2004. IT  HAD BEEN GARAGED IN PALM DESERT AND NOT STARTED FOR THE PREVIOUS 5 YEARS. IT WAS SHIPPED TO TEXAS AND HAS BEEN GARAGED, BUT STARTED AND DRIVEN SINCE. THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS FLUSHED AND THE CAR STARTED IMMEDIATELY WITH THE AID OF A NEW BATTERY. THE ENGINE IS STRONG AND THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN UP TO 75 MPH WITH LOTS OF HEAD ROOM LEFT TO EXPLORE. THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN REPLACED: BATTERY, 4 NEW TIRES,NEW RIGHT POWER STEERING HOSE, SHOCK ABSORBER, SPARK PLUGS, FUEL PUMP AND FILTER, NEW OLD STOCK MUFFLER WITH 4 TUNED EXHAUST PIPES, RADIATOR CORE, RADIATOR FAN RELAY. THE FAN RELAY FAILED TO CORRECT AN OVERHEATING PROBLEM, SO THE FANS HAVE BEEN WIRED DIRECTLY TO THE IGNITION SWITCH SO THAT THEY TURN ON IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED. PROBLEM SOLVED. ALSO PURCHASED ON EBAY WERE AN EXTRA SET OF RADIATOR FANS, SET OF FOUR STROMBERG CARBURETORS, A HOSE KIT - ALL OF WHICH WILL BE INCLUDED ALONG WITH A COLLECTION OF ROCK AND BLUES EIGHT TRACK TAPES WHICH CAN BE ENJOYED ON THE SOUND SYSTEM WHICH INCLUDES AM-FM RADIO AS WELL!  JOURNEY BACK IN TIME IN THIS GORGEOUS EXAMPLE OF SENSUOUS STYLING WITH A CLASSIC ROCK COLLECTION OF TAPES. I ALSO HAVE TWO SERVICE RECORDS FROM EDMUND'S JAGUAR/ROLLS ROYCE WHICH SHOW THE LOW MILEAGE OF LESS THAN 25,000 WHEN LAST SERVICED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER IN 1998. IT WILL NEED SOME REPLACEMENT OF WINDOW GUIDES, SEALS, AND PERHAPS MORE HOSES. IT COULD BE RESTORED TO SHOW CONDITION IF DESIRED. IT WAS NOT SMOKED IN BY ME, BUT IT MAY HAVE BEEN IN THE LONG AGO PAST. THERE IS NO ODOR, BUT PERHAPS SOME GRIME ON THE SEATS? FOR SERIOUS INQUIRIES, I WILL BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THE CONDITION OF THIS VEHICLE TO THE BEST OF MY PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE.
