Great car. Durable and strong engine. This car was purchased by me to restore for it's classic value, but I have never gotten around to it. It is a good car for every day use, but it would be pretty easy as far as classic car restoration goes. You could even convert it easily to run on vegetable oil!! In fairness and honesty I am going to list everything I know that is wrong with the car. This way you know what needs fixed in general, and you can also see that as far as a restoration project (if that is what you were wanting) it would be very easy to do. The reverse gear is out on the transmission. It will need a radiator fan replaced (electric). Those are the only major repairs. The body is in great shape, with only one small rust spot on the entire thing. The paint is faded though. The chrome on the bumper is flaking some. Two of the window motors do need replaced. There are light bulbs that need replaced in the dash. The AC needs refilled. The fuel gauge is inaccurate. This car has black leather interior, and the plastic elements (dash, etc.) are also black. It is almost mint on the inside! I think the only thing wrong is the string webbing on the back of the seats has fallen down, where you would tuck in a map, etc. This item will have to be paid for with cash or cashier's check. It should be picked up in person. If someone buys it that lives too far away to pick it up in person it is up to you to find a company to transport it to you and you will deal with their costs directly. This is an amazing car and I hope someone will find and really enjoy it!!
