A friend of ours bought this several months ago intending to restore it but his wife said he had too many projects and wanted "that ugly thing out of their yard" so we brought it to our lot to sell for him. The previous owner was a little old lade who purchased the car in 1973 and only drove it to church on Sundays; well maybe a little more than church but not much. Sometime around 1988, the owner was no longer able to drive and the car was parked under a carport until our friend bought from her heir this year. It only shows 9,603 miles (no there is not a digit missing) because, according to the heir, the car was driven very little until it was parked and she doubted that it was ever driven out of Longview. Although he intended to eventually get around to getting the car restored, nobody has attempted to start the car because it still has 26 year old gas in it. A jump box was hooked to the battery, not to start but only to determine that the lights, power windows, wipers, radio etc. all still work. Despite the fact that the vehicle was stored outside, we could not find any rat nests or chewed wiring anywhere inside or out- we didn't even see any wasp nests. Neither the seats nor the top were not kept conditioned but the seats show only minor age related cracking (not even as much as the seats on my 2006 Acura). Unfortunately the Landau top did not fare as well and has major exposure damage and would need to be completely redone. The carpet has no visible wear and the headliner (board?) is in good condition but looks like the glue is finally giving up the ghost and coming down above the rear passenger side. The weather seals around the doors are also old & crumbling. The pointed lenses in the front do work and are intact but each side has a crack in the lens, none of the other lights appear to have any cracks. The passenger side front fender has a few places where the paint has flaked off and minor dent right behind them- almost like it was rubbed against a post the drivers side also has one similar place. The fender flares and hubcaps are in good condition and are being stored in the trunk to keep them from sprouting legs. The car is located at 506 S. Greer Blvd in Pittsburg TX and you are welcome to come check it out. Please feel free to email or call if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them.
