Vehicle Detail
I guess I was too greedy the first time I listed this, so I am trying once more to sell and make a fair profit, after this I will just have to store it awhile and decide to either do it or sell it. This car should be restored. It is all complete but through out the years is was neglected. It looks like the top and seats were replaced the carpet is new. Don't expect to buy this car and just hop in and drive it, it will not happen. You should expect to invest some money into this car to bring it into a nice piece. Very Restore-able Car. Getting Harder and Harder to Find these Convertibles that are all complete. VIN # BILU129713 93,000Miles Flathead V8 I just purchased this car off eBay for an Investment. It is an early restoration. I got a good deal and I will give you a good deal. I would consider this rated as a 2-1/2 on a one to five scale with 5 being the worst case. By no means am I an expert on rating cars, but this has a lot going for it. This car Runs but it backfires a lot and seems to be starving for gas. I tried to keep it running but it continually stalls. It sure could use a Tune Up! I believe it must have old gas, maybe the Carb is shot, out of timing or maybe the engine needs rebuilding. The Floor Pans Trunk Pan, Rockers are all good. It appears that this car was redone at some point. Crappy paint job. The 3 speed Transmission shifts nice and smooth. It is a Manual Shift. ( I did have it running when I purchased it but now it is not running that well. I can't tell you a lot more about this as I just got it out of Ohio. I purchased this car to strictly sell it, as Convertibles are getting very rare. The interior seats are in excellent Condition. The Radio even works! The Dash Chrome is fair. The Black Convertible Top is in Excellent Condition. It is a Power Top but does not work. Carpets are very good. The Chrome is all there and in good condition but should be re-chromed. I recently lost the keys! I did purchase another starter switch and I have it installed. I do not have the trunk or door keys. Shipping is your responsibility.NOTE DEPOSIT IS NOT REFUNDABLE. Car sold as is. Buyer responsible to get car. On Jun-07-11 at 04:27:27 PDT, seller added the following information: Note: This car is a 3 Speed Manual Shift on the Column. On Jun-07-11 at 11:28:25 PDT, seller added the following information: This is a true convertible I have more #'s to list. A kind gentleman in Florida told me to post these numbers off the tag to show it is a True Convertible. On the Fire Wall tag is 76 H S CB538D VIN # B1LU129713
