Vehicle Detail

Good restoration candidate! Body is straight, no damage. Stored in garage or fully-enclosed, dry storage unit since obtained in 1993. New air cleaner, fuel pump, fuel tank, fuel filter, and brakes. Reconditioned wheel cylinders, backing plates, brake-line fittings. Lower channel of both rear frame rails have small rust perforations just upstream of riveted frame horns. Some body filler work on left rear quarter panel above wheel well opening that needs a little TLC to make paint-ready. Both doors need latch, lock, and window linkage/mechanism overhaul to make everyday functional. All weatherstrips need replacing. Driver's door glass missing. Passenger door glass and windshield glass in good condition. Soft top rear window needs zipper recondition/replacement. Needs new interior carpet. Interior door trim soft material in good condition - needs cleaning/conditioning. Top and seat soft materials in good condition - need cleaning/conditioning. Needs complete strip and re-paint inside and out. Powertrain and drivetrain in good mechanical condition, but most seals and gaskets have signs of leakage. Needs battery, carb overhaul, and complete tune-up to make runable. Reason for selling: my personal circumstances do not make it feasible to keep and restore.On Jan-10-12 at 09:13:52 PST, seller added the following information: ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION DETAILS: The new air cleaner is an OE replacement still in the box. Driver's door interior door handle is missing. The trunk and interior floor pans and side panels are all solid with no rust/perforations. A solid-state ignition module system was added prior to me obtaining the car to eliminate the mechanical points - still installed and would require replacement to make OE again. Electrical system is still 6V. The battery has a dead cell and won't hold charge.PS - I will post engine compartment photos to the listing late on 1/10.
