This is a "Project" car that still needs more work. Look at the pictures and read the description. Starting the bid low to give everyone a chance. Due to disability and financial problems, I am unable to finish the car. Now looking to sell to raise quick cash for bills. The Rebuilt Engine, Transmission and Rear plus all these parts listed, then add all the machine shops and all the mechanics costs come to over $12 grand total. Most of the hard work and cost has been done. Should not take much more to get it on the road. Owned this car Since 1982 when I purchased it from family member. This car was a daily driver up until several years ago. We decided to upgrade the engine, transmission and rear end. Plenty of New parts and alot of mechanical work has been done. Started up this engine for it's first time (has zero miles since rebuild) and it sounded great with the Hooker Headers and Turbo Mufflers. Unfortunately it stalled out a few times due to bad fuel (tea colored) shown in the clear fuel filter. I would recommend replacing the 40 year old Gas Tank and Fuel Lines because of the gas tanks internal rust will contaminate the engine. The engine has no miles on it and will need adjustments and a breakin period. The 3 Speed Automatic transmission has no miles on it, needs to run all gears and check fluids. The rear end was rebuilt with new bearings and 4.11 gears also with no miles on it. The car will need some minor work and TLC before you can drive it on the road. The car needs lots of body work, has rust in quarters, floor and trunk. Will need paint and body work to make is look great. Plus any other minor mechanical issues. The interior is original all black as it came. Dash shows cracking and so does the leather seats. The black carpet is worn and needs replacement. The door panels show alot of wear. The black headliner has wear and a minor few tears. This is normal condition for a 40 year old car. Below is a partial listing, many more New parts just too much to list all of them. This sale is for serious car buyers only, email me with your phone number for more details and appointment. This car is in a Las Vegas Storage Facility. Not driveable, so it will need to be towed and or shipped. Local buyers, If you want to hear the engine, I will get help to start it up for a demo run (not to drive). Payment in cash upon pickup. Clean Nevada Title in my name.
