The ebay buyer that won the auction had a financial problem come up unexpectedly but did buy and provide me with a marti report. That report is included and shows this car is much more rare than I had originally thought. I have a copy of an old title dating back to '91 so there is some ability to trace more history. I do believe that it has been a california car all it's life by the condition and lack of rust. Only very small areas of surface rust as the pictures show. This was originally a gold car from the factory, repainted light yellow then repainted white after that sometime. The interior including the carpet all appear original. I'm selling for a friend that I gave this car to back in 2011. He put new tires, brakes, hoses and belts on it and drove it for about a year and lost interest. There is also a new canvas top put on but it needs more attention to close and operate correctly, power top. The car starts right up and runs great. I didn't drive it because the brakes need more attention (I've been told a brake booster) to function correctly, but I feel the trans is working great also. There is also an expensive replacement radiator in the the engine bay. I did notice the AC pump has been removed and there is a small pinhole in the top of the gas tank, they'll both need some attention. I believe the engine is numbers matching but just guessing by vehicle overall appearance, let me know how to double check for you. The motor is a 351 Cleveland with the original four barreI carb(I think). It came with a 3.00 Conventional Rear Axle and a FMX Merc-O-Matic transmission and I assume they are original too. I'm happy to answer any questions and show the car in person. I do reserve the right to end this auction early if necessary. Chris @ 310-709 5561
