This original 250 mile vehicle was purchased by the original owner, driven a couple weeks, and jacked up and put on blocks in late 1975. It remained there, covered in his garage, until he recently passed, and we are handling the sale for his estate. Original option build sheet, original sales receipt. Ordered without a radio. Original bezel in GM box. Trunk never opened, original boot cover never opened. He had it "Tuffcoated", which was a big deal for Michigan folk in the 70's. He reportedly started it up 5 or 6 times a year, and let it run. Other than a few rake or handle bar scratches, it's pretty close to factory perfect (considering what perfect was back in 75). It has original crayon marks under hood, as you'd expect. It has the original tires as well. We drove about 35 miles on them, a little lumpy, but they're not cracked up. It wasn't stored in a heated garage, so cosmetic surface rust underneath will need attention on un-painted factory suspension components. The gas smells like varnish, and the car will no doubt run better once it has all passed through the system. We replaced the plugs and changed the oil. There's nibble marks on both under hood stickers, which will need to be replaced. The underhood wiring all looks untouched. There's a video below of the walk around and test drive.
