Vehicle Detail
First of all, the reason I am selling this is because I have two jobs and do a lot of traveling for one of them. We recently had a baby and I no longer have the time for this project. It is taking up space in my garage and I need it gone. I purchased this car a couple of years back from Florida. It was a solid car to start with. It had no molding so I spent about 1.5 years tracking down each and every piece for it. It is missing one rear bumper end. I stripped it down and did a lot of work to it this far. Front end is tight and in great shape. I replaced the idler arm, front and rear shocks, all new brake system. New shoes, all four corners, spring and hardware kits, new wheel cylinders, master cylinder, lines all new, hoses new. Remote hydrovac unit was rebuilt. Easily have $1,000 in brakes alone. Bumpers have both been rechromed and the pictures do them no justice. Grill is stainless steel and hand polished (beautiful).Dash, all garnish moldings, and window moldings stripped and repainted. Front frame cleaned and painted along with cowl and firewall. All of the chrome and molding is there and in great shape. Car is complete. I will include the paint code so paint can be matched to finish. The previous owner had the motor and transmission rebuilt professionally about 5 years ago. Never fired (turns over). I do not have the paperwork on this so will not guarantee it. I did take the pan off the tranny and new fluid and filter were found and I could tell it was rebuilt. Has a 331 V8 auto tranny (hydromatic). Car has duel exhaust. The body is solid with some rot in the lower rear quarters (pictured). Driver’s floor had a hole in it from a previous leak so I patched it (welded). Floors are solid with solid frame. The light lenses are new. I tried to take as many pics as possible, but most parts are in my already cramped basement and patio. Also, with the car are new plugs, coil, points, dist. cap and rotor, voltage regulator, ballast resister, fuel pump, plug wires, and condenser. I had the water pump rebuilt along with the generator. Started was tested and is fine. The carb is rebuilt. I also bought a new sending unit. Gas tank does not leak, but should be cleaned out. All the glass is there and in great shape with no chips or cracks. All the doors open and close fine, but the interior needs redone. The dash pad is excellent and I redid (painted) the steering wheel. This car is equipped with the altronic eye. The mileage on this car is actual at 68,983. The title is clean. There are some extra parts with will go with the car as well. This car is as is with no warranty. The buyer is responsible for pick-up and needs to do so promptly. Bidders with good feedback only. I have $7,000 into this car and the receipts to document it. Please don’t ask me to sell you a part from this car. As I said, I am very busy and do not have the time to part it and ship it. I put the starting bid low and reasonable to if you need parts, buy the whole package deal and you can probably make a nice chunk of change parting it out yourself. I do not have a buy it now price so if you want the car, please bid. I may possible be interested in a trade for a vintage car that runs and drives. Happy bidding!
