Vehicle Detail
This is a project car/restoration project. Looks good overall for its age with some original paint and generally shiny over-all but has rust issues and needs brake work. Engine runs. Does not drive so you need to have it transported. The interior of the car is very original and is in stunning condition. Excellent seats, door trims, carpet, head-liner, console, dash, dash-pad, steering wheel without rips, tears, wear, holes or stains . Quite amazing really. The wood on the dash is perfect - only the wood at the base of the windshield needs redoing. Still has original factory fitted Becker radio which is probably worth some $150 in its own right. Car has its original operating manual and service books with documented & stamped maintenance for its early years! The cars has been in storage for several years as a "pending project" but I never got round to doing it. It will need a thorough going-over to be made roadworthy. I did fit a relatively new battery a few months ago. A good project being offered WITHOUT reserve. Please note that the title is being processed with DMV. In this state, titles can take a a few weeks to process so you will need to be patient until it arrives. Please do not bid if you cannot. I have a copy of the processed title to prove one exists and is in order. Timing shouldn't be an issue as you will need to restore before licensing in any event. The car is being sold "as-is" with no warranty or representations whatsoever. This is a project car and may have various mechanical, body, cosmetic and other issues requiring attention so there should be no surprises to the purchaser.
