Vehicle Detail

Hate to see this one go but I have a few too many vehicles and this being my first and only American car I decided she should go. She is a riot to drive and the big block really purrs. Gets admiring looks even from Prius owners! This car needs nothing to enjoy now and is completely reliable. In fact, I suggest the buyer fly in and drive home and spend a mini vacation here in Santa Fe New Mexico - a great place to visit! I'll pick you up from the airport and help with hotel suggestions. FREE AIRLINE TICKET TO ALBUQUERQUE AIRPORT ONLY WITH BUY IT NOW (economy, continental USA, 2 week advance purchase) Does not leak or burn oil, decent highway mileage for a 440, new shocks, smooth ride. Does not overheat. Starts and stops great. This car has spent most of it's life in New Mexico having spent a short time in Tacoma. I have many service records, manual, and other paperwork so the car has a pretty decent history dated back to the 80s. It has a brand new edelbrock 4 barrel (weber) carb, new starter and brake booster/mastercylinder. It has a glass pack exhaust which really gives the car a muscle car sound without being too obnoxious. The car gets up goes.I would trust the car to cross the country. AC is all there except I believe it needs the thermostatic switch - I was assured it worked great but did not fix it due to our dry climate and cool driving with all four windows down. Speedometer may need calibration as I believe it reads about 10 mph too slow. The front windows operate fine with the rears probably needing lubrication as they are very slow and need occasional assistance when raising or lowering them.All other electronics work on the car including idiot lights, washer, lights, horn, etc.... The radio is an aftermarket Sony CD player, a rather nice unit with input jack and such but the speakers on the car are the original oldies so the sound is tinny. I did not like the job the prior owner did when hacking a hole for this unit so I sourced an original AM radio and faceplate that goes with the car - they were hard to find and expensive so it is really to have them. Tires are in excellent shape with 90% tread at least. Interior is extremely nice with no tears to the seats although some cleaning may be in order.No cracks on the dash (also comes with a dash mat not shown) or the rear window deck. Passenger roof pilar vinyl has a tear but the other side is perfect. Paint still shines and is original but showing patina and has touch-ups here and there where the paint was worn thin on the sharp edges of the body. A couple of minor dings no real dents and the chrome is excellent. You probably won't find a such a rust free car anywhere. THERE IS NO RUST ANYWHERE. The trunk is clean, the rockers are clean, fenders, floor pans, etc.... Email with questions as all sales are final. A PAYPAL DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED WITHIN 24 hours and full payment within a week. I'll help out with getting the car to meet a truck if you don't want to drive it home and can help to arrange shipping. This is a OLD car so no guarantees or warranties are implied. I always suggest people join AAA if planning to drive old cars any distance. YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH THIS CAR ! I will be hard to reach from July 22-26 but I will answer each and every email I get prior to the end of the auction.
