Vehicle Detail
I purchased this car 26 years ago from Bobby Smith of the Motown group, The Spinners. It is a great looking car. I have more than $25,000 invested in it. It has a high gloss finish with some imperfections but it is still a head turner. It's a two tone green and the previous owner had the car painted. The car had a valve seat that had lifted when I first purchased it. Palma's Automotive Repairs in Audubon, New Jersey made the repairs on the cylinder head. Over the years they continued to service the vehicle for me. The car has always been garaged and used only for special occasions such as family weddings and proms. The leather on the front seat has been replaced, the rear seat is original and the leather is cracked. The headliner is in good condition. The trunk is clean. I do not have any original tools except for the jack.The carpet in the back is in good condition. The front carpet is in good except for one hole which is located where the right foot heal hits. The car is a right-hand drive. The windows in the front work from both from the drivers side and the respective windows. The windows in the rear work only from their respective locations; they do not work from the drivers seat. The mileage is 40,818. The wipers, heat, lights and radio all work. The A/C coil behind the radiator was installed when the radiator was replaced after about 10 years that I owned the car. A fan was also installed behind the radiator with a control switch under the dash. This was done with the intentions of installing A/C in the car. A few years ago the heater coil under the dashboard was also replaced. The car does not leak and the engine does not smoke. The tires are original but still have a lot of thread.
