Vehicle Detail
This car is a one owner that my grandfather purchased new. I still have the reciept! It was a daily driver for my grandmother till the day she got a new Marquis. It ran like a top the day they parked it there in the garage and took the key out. It has been sitting in the same spot for over 20 years. For someone who knows what to do it should not take much to bring it back to life. They kept it because it was an anniversary present and they didnt want to let it go. Well, my grandfather has since passed and its time now to move the car out. From what I can see there is surface rust building around the trunk and rear window but nothing terrible. Its what you can expect from the 20 years of dust on top. The coolest part is the interior. It looks perfect, maybe after a vacuum hits it. The headliner looks like it was put in yesterday and the seats are not torn. The chrome and wood on the dash will still shine and as far as I can remember as can remember as a kid playing in the front seat, the 8 track still works. There are some 8 tracks that come with it as well. Overall the car is kind of a barn find but has potential to be great. It just needs some love from someone who knows what to do. I have many more pics that are not posted for interested buyers only. Thanks and happy bidding.
