This is my 90 year old grandfather's baby. He purchased the car in Clearwater FL in 1985 from the second owner with 43k. The door tag shows matching color, interior and eng specs. I beleive it was built in Missouri and has the 200hp engine. The car was repainted the original color about 5 years ago although it really didn't need it. The finish is very good although there is some minor detailing around the doors that could be touched up. When the body was sanded down it showed very few prior repairs. The carpet and floor mats were replaced with pony embroidered units. It has had quite a bit of mechanical work done in the past several years including brake wheel cylinders, master cylinder, full tune up, trans fluid flush, and battery. The car has a Pertronix solid state ignition and an Edelbrock 4 barrel carb and intake. The radio was replaced with a Pioneer am/fm tape deck unit. I have all original parts as well. Other slighty older items that were replaced: tires and 4 wheel alignment, water pump, starter, reciepts to show that the engine was rebuilt(bored 60 over) in 1985. This car runs and drives perfectly. It is a very nice "driver" car. A few items that will need attending are, the right front shock is making a creaking noise and will probably need replacement. A mouse found its way into the car several years ago and ate a hole in the top. The A/C does not work. Thank you for looking. Please e-mail me with questions if you are interested. I encourage people to look at the car before bidding.

I have a copy of the previous owners title from 1982 stating the milage of 33,900. I also have many work receipts and registrations indicating the lower milage. I apologize for the late information and will try to get this problem corrected as soon as possible.
