She is absolutely beautiful. Two owner car that spent the last 34 years in CA with the original owner. Very AWESOME car with EXCELLENT Battleship Grey/ Blue exterior color with Blue interior that gives it more richness and beauty. Paint is excellent, painted once, and it is all shines and gleams, just amazing. This is car went on many cross-country trips and it was a complete pleasure to drive. The last trip she made was from CA to Wash. D.C a few months ago! Still has valid CA smog. THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF A COLLECTOR QUALITY AUTOMOBILE, IN MY OPINION.

Very sleek eye catcher that demands attention any place that you go. It has never seen salt, snow, or rain. Very clean car that has no rust with very clean undercarriage. It is a very safe car and always passed safety inspection. Car runs, drives, shifts, and handles very well; it can be driven anywhere on a moment’s notice. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED, I ASSURE YOU! Pictures do not do justice to the car, she is more amazing in person and I do have many photos to show you if you like more to see. I will be more than happy to talk with you in person as well! It has all original factory books and manuals as well extra keys. It has all dealer’s service books and records and are all stamped by the dealer. It has all of its tools, jack and a full size spare tire. Here is some of the work that was done on the car and it is all documented and that does not include the service that was just done in Aug, full tune up, fix vacuum leaks, oil and filter as well as steering box tightened, AC service and more with cost over $1600.

You can imagine how much did all that cost! IT IS A SMALL FORTUNE. As you can see, nothing was spared to keep up with this beauty. This car needs nothing at all and it is ready to be driven anywhere. It has a salvage title because many years ago the car was stolen for a joy ride and was reported to the Ins. Co. hence the salvage title. Exterior is in excellent as you see from the pictures. All glass, chrome, moldings, lights are just excellent and like new. In addition, hard top and brakes, tires, exhaust are excellent as well. As you can see from the photos, the Passenger side fender is dented; backing out of the garage, happened last Oct. and it is a very easy repair. It does not affect its drivability or performance, only cosmetic. It has actual, original and documented 185k/ miles, but being a car that has been well maintained, it does drive very well. Interior is in excellent condition and all original as you can see from pictures with no rips, tares, or cracks. Only the carpet by driver side left foot has some wear. Soft top is taped in couple of places. It has power locks, power windows, power steering, cruise control, AC & heat, updated stereo system. All of the options on the car work very well as they should. All gauges on the instrument cluster work very well including lights inside and outside, turn signals, cruise, even the horn works as well as the clock, antenna and lighter operate very well. Heat is hot and AC is very cold. Everything works as it should! Car can be driven anywhere or I can help you ship at your own cost.
