This is not a Show Car but a Super Cool Weekend Cruiser. I am helping a Dr. friend liquidate part of his car collection, as he is not longer able or interested in enjoying and he wants someone else to enjoy (look for others to come). He has owned the car for 7 years and did the following work sparing no expense by professionals: New paint job with gold flake white color (beautiful); accent stripes, (2 slightly different colors, that match the dash panels beautifully, new interior, including headliner; complete exhaust system replaced; new brakes, new tires and American Racing Wheels (perfect condition), replaced the 4-barrel carb with after market Edelbrock (needs adjusting, and I am in line with my mechanic to get that done, runs good at highway speeds, sluggish when starting); Remote Pop-out door openers (notice no handles) that are very nice. The car has rare electric driver seat (manual passenger), and swing away steering wheel (easy entry access). The power windows, even the power vent windows work great. All glass is very good! The car needs a new trunk pad (available online for $115.00), and the radiator tank needs painting (see pics) looks like it may not have been painted, or painted poorly. A couple little nicks and a small piece if chrome trim around the passenger side head light is missing ( I had not noticed this until a 74 yr old tire kicker who spent 2 hrs with his magnifying glass pointed it out last weekend) and there is a small scrape on the bumper (got a little too close to his garage wall). The inside rear view mirror is missing (arm is there) and the remote mirror on the drive door is cracked (remote works good). The car rides and drives like a dream and has tons of power. This car is not perfect but a fantastic value, as you can cruise with it now (I have carried it out 3 times, and even my wife who hates old cars thinks it's "Hot".) Classic Example of Muscle and Luxury Indeed! The car is Beautiful, you will be impressed! Please read this carefully! If you have a feedback less than 20, don't bid unless you talk to me. I will cancel and ban your bids. I learned the hard way (cost me $125 last listing) that I can cancel your bid. If you are legitimate and don't have to borrow the $$$ from your rich uncle or wait until your tax refund comes in, we can deal. Do not show up and waste my time with a silly low ball offer. If the car does not sell I am going to buy it myself. My wife loves it, and I have already made room for it. I will try my best to answer all your logical questions asap, so please contact me. The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction, so don't let it get away if you want it! Good Luck, thanks, steve in Chattanooga
