At the time I was living in Florida and the car was driven and shown regularly. In April 2006, I transferred to Seattle for a job opportunity. The car has been enjoyed when possible taking into account the weather. As the economy has changed, the car has not been used as often for a number of reasons. It spends the majority of its time in the garage. It's too nice of a vehicle not to be used and enjoyed therefore I would like to find someone to give it that attention again. It's a great cruiser and has had its share of parades, weddings and visitor sightseeing tours.Overall condition: The car is in good condition and can be considered #3. There are no fluid leaks. The car runs and handles well. The engine and transmission have been recently checked. Both are in good condition although the fluid pump in the transmission can be "fussy" when the car is cold. Two different transmission specialists have noted the issue is age and do not feel it is a detriment to the vehicle at the present time. The body and frame are in good condition. There is a small rust spot in front of the right rear wheel opening, roughly 1/4" in diameter. (picture available upon request). Additional detailed pictures available on request. I encourage interested Buyers to contact me to discuss the car. Purchase will require cashier’s check or similar secured method of payment, balance in full due upon receipt of the vehicle by Buyer or Shipping Agent. Delivery/Shipping should be arranged by the Buyer.
