Don't see too many of these anymore. Purchased this vehicle from a salvage yard for parts or for sale, so I purchased the whole vehicle because it ran smooth and had no significant issue. The exterior was a little beat up either from the wrecking yard or previous owner. Interior is all intact, but does need reconditioning. I have a few extra pieces and parts for misc around the vehicle. Headliner is gone. Dash is in good shape with no cracks or blistering. Dash is in good shape few pieces need to be screwed back in as I was taking some off and putting them back on for reconditioning, but quit. Original steel wheels and beauty rims. Has not been legally registered since 2001 in California. This vehicle did live in a beach town when originally purchased. That why I suppose there is some surface rust and rust on the front rockers behind wheel. All glass is original and intact. Right front tire is brand new and others are in really good shape. Purchased from Discount tire with lifetime warranty, but not much mileage on them. No battery and carburetor probably needs rebuild. Gas tank needs to be flushed however I did poor in Stable gas additive. Needs a new positive ground wire from alternator to battery. When this vehcile ran it was smooth and had no issues. The transmission whined a little bit but shifted fine and has no leaks in drive train. Changed oil, rear end gear fluid and transmission fluid around 60,000. Not sure of acutal mileage. Odometer still works but doesn't appear that it has more than the miles listed on there. Meaning I don't think the odometer has been turned over 100k miles. 77,000 is what it reads. If you have a few parts or car know how this can be a clean everyday driver. Needs some TLC to get going. I would drive this vehicle back and forth to work all the time and it consistently got 33MPG. Any questions about this vehicle let me know. Happy bidding and good luck.

The gas tank should be flushed first as I would not want you to harm the gas lines with the old gas and Stableizer. This is an answer to a question via my e-mail.
