Vehicle Detail
I've driven this car since high school, and figured since I'm moving to another state it's time to pass it along to someone else. This car is 100% driveable and passes Texas state inspection. Naturally, as you'd expect of an over 30-year-old car, there are a few issues worth noting:It was in an accident in the late 80s, resulting in some body damage that is still visible. Some of the doors don't seal completelyAdditionally, my dad decided to re-paint it white at some point. Some of the paint is starting to chip and there is some rust on the back door.There are also some tears in the upholstery on the inside (visible in the pictures).The radio doesn't work I installed a separate button on the dashboard for the horn (though I'm pretty sure I know where the electrical break is in the steering column button).One last note -- the odometer doesn't have a 100,000s digit, so it's possible the mileage is actually 173,214. It had about 30,000 miles on it when I inherited it, and I'm not sure if it rolled over in the decade or so before I was alive. The engine was completely rebuilt about four years ago though, so the mileage on it is actually pretty low. Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for looking!
