Up for sale is my baby. i have owned her since 1998. Purchased with 42,000 miles from original owner. I have always kept her garaged, however prev. owner did not. tops of door panels have slight fading. I tinted windows just after i purchased. Black paint looks pretty good for 24 years old but definitely shows her age. 305 V8 engine is all stock except for Edelbrock intake and edelbrock headers. Both are smog legal, in fact was just smogged last week. I changed out weak 200r4 trans for 700r4 trans, has shift kit and corvette servo. Shifts crisp at light throttle but will scratch 2nd gear. The rear end is stock 3.73 gears, no posi. Interior is all stock, no rips or tears, floor mats are original and drivers side is worn but carpets are in excellent cond. Needs headliner repaired. I have added screws so it won't fall all the way down. everything works. Has stock upgraded radio with equalizer. I added keyless entry alarm and alternating high beam lights ( looks like a police car when they are turned on) I was young back then and it was cool. I just recently converted mechanical fan clutch to electric and wired it so it comes on automatically when needed including when a/c compressor is turned on. Just tuned up, plugs wires, cap and rotor 9 months ago. I drive it about once a month just to keep her running good. power, windows, power door locks, cruise, manual adjusting mirrors from drivers seat all still work good. This is an original California car, no rust. I put drop spindles in front 2", i don't like how front end sits so high. I still have original spindles, exhaust and intake manifolds including stock crossover pipe. Also i have a test pipe for checking if converter is restricted. She does not smoke, make any weird sounds, feels tight when driving. A/c compressor leaks a little, have to charge a/c every 2 years, has r134a so it is cheap. Rear of engine has slight oil leak from pan area. drips a drop every so often. not bad. No other leaks. Tires are in great condition, drives really well, smooth. stops good as well. I replaced original headlights with sylvania bright performance lights. they light up road great. Body has a few dings, nothing bad. Car turns heads everywhere i go. Battery is a little weak, probably from sitting so much. If i start it every 2 weeks, always starts. I will deliver on flat bed trailer if the right price and not too far. Any questions, let me know. i think i touched everything. Thanks for bidding/looking
