This 1973 V-12, 2+2 is a wonderful barn-find car. The previous owner had stored it in his brother's barn for 12 years, took it out two years ago and put it in his garage where it sat until I purchased it. I replaced the brake master cylinder and bled the brakes, rebuilt one of the four carbs, installed twelve new spark plugs, replaced the heater valve and hoses, and just did a general cleaning inside and out. It starts, runs, and looks great. The exterior was professionally repainted prior to 1986, and still looks really good. It has a few small rust bubbles above the rear wheel and garage rash (see photos), but is amazingly clean. The only other rust I could find was a small hole at the left front corner of the driver's footwell (3/4" in diameter) and another in the spare tire well (1/2"). There are a couple of bubbles where the front fenders meet the bonnet, but nothing serious. The rear muffler/resonator is rusted out, but the chrome dual tip is there and still in great shape. All of the glass is in excellent condition as is all of the chrome trim, wire wheels and bumpers. The windshield washer solvent bottle is missing as are the jack, tools, and owner's manual. The leather is in great shape with the only exception being a small hole in the base of the rear seat. The carpet is in good condition with only a small hole in the passenger side. The headliner is tear-free and clean but needs to be re-glued (drooping). I resrve the right to end this auction at any time as the car is also being listed for sale locally. This car could easily be driven as is with very little work or be restored to a beautiful original collector car. If you have any questions email me or call Barry at 248-505-5390.
