I purchased this car over 8 years ago and was trying to restore it, about 3 years into the project my wife was diagnosed with lung cancer and working on the car became more and more difficult. About three years ago I was working on it and it jumped timing, that was the last time I bothered with it as caring for my wife was taking all my time she has now passed and my interest has faded, just can't seem to get focused on it again. Rather than let it fall apart I have decided to let someone else try and complete it. It does need some work yet. The paint job is not great although done at a body shop at $6,000. Has new rockers and fender caps, passengers rear floor replaced about 10"x10" section. Lots of chrome has been re-chromed, stainless has been straightened and polished, new interior by ABC. Car originally had an automatic trans but currently has a three speed standard which is how it was when I got it. Headliner is not installed but I do have it. Interior of trunk has been re-done with correct material. Top does not work properly, works with the relays behind the seat but doesn't lock I believe I installed the top locking motor on the drivers side backwards. All relays, switches and motors were checked and operational and all top wiring was checked for breaks etc., it shouldn't be to much to get straight. It will need new tires at some point as they were put on by the previous owner about 9 years before I bought it. The previous owner stated that he had the engine rebuilt about a year before I bought it. He said he was going to restore it but had too many projects. As far as I know all he did was put tires on it and rebuild the engine as the rest of the car was a basket case. I have spare parts that will go with it if desired as well as a continental kit and an extra drivers door (no glass). The gas in it is very old probably 4 or so years, car has not been started in a long time, and please keep in mind it has jumped timing. The windshield is new, all rubber seals are new as well as window felts. Drivers door window is broken and doesn't roll all the way up, I believe body shop left some piece out when putting it back together. Unfortunately the body shop returned my car at the time I was dealing with my wife's medical issues and like I said she was far more important.It is as is where is, please know what you are bidding on I am being as honest as possible please ask any and all questions before bidding.
