Vehicle Detail
Relisted due to local deal falling through. Background: This car was purchased brand new by my great-grandfather back in 1977. After he passed away my grandfather received inherited this beauty. I received the car as a gift when I graduated college. This car has always been garaged as you can see by the paint in the pictures. The car is completely original including the factory Becker AM/FM radio. Well-maintained car at 110,000 miles. Car runs great. I am currently using it to get to and from work on a daily basis. Exterior: No rust, one small dent on rear driver side, all the chromes shine as they were the first day. All the rubber seals are in good shape. The front grill and headlight bezel are in very good shape also, same as the emblems. The wheel hub cups are the original and in very good condition. The tires were purchased at 100,000 miles and have approximately 10,000 miles used on the 70,000 mile tire warranty. The comes with original floor jack, wheel wrench, and first aid kit. Interior: Completely Original. All the upholstery is in great condition, same as the headliner and all the wood trim around, all the door panels are in good shape.The dashboard and the back tray are in great shape. All the instrument cluster gadgets work. The carpeting is in very clean condition considering the year of the car. Interior dome lights work, same as the horn. Mechanically: Runs great, shifts well, on time and smooth. No black smoke coming out of tail pipe. The air condition works, the AC blower and heater works also. The cruise control works great. The brakes are good. The glow system works great. This car fired up Friday morning with no hesitation, at a chilly 22 degrees. Some gaskets may need to be changed in the future. Work that has been done recently: New Battery, Fresh Oil and Filter. New Fuel line and clamps. Belts and new hoses were replaced as of late. Fuel filter, thermostat, wiper blades, and many other little necessities. I am selling this because I need to pay off my student loans. I hate to see this car go, but I need to pay my bills. I have been describing the car as the best of my observation, I recommend to see the car in person or send someone on behalf of the buyer, to avoid any misunderstandings or misconceptions.

This car is being sold locally and I have the right to end the auction early in the event of sale. Cashier's check or cash only. No personal checks! Thank you for the interest in the car.
