That's most of the good; now here are some things you should know to be a truly informed buyer. I believe in, and practice honesty being the best policy, and I invite you to ask, and will I answer all of your questions as best I can. So here we go...Original radio doesn't work properly (better than an aftermarket hack install in my opinion.)Hood and DS rear quarter panel has a round ding the size of a dime. (See pic)Passenger door has a minor blemish (see pic).Doesn't have factory limited slip differential but does have the proper 8 inch rear, just not posi.Probably could use better shocks and springs on all 4 corners.Some of the aftermarket items like the rear fillers and weatherstrip doesn't fit as nicely as the original GM stuff. The original GM stuff is discontinued, even if it was original 26 year old rubber even on very low mile cars is cracked or doesn't stand up well over use.Ok about the mileage.... When you look at the vehicle report. The previous owner logged 48,924 miles in 7/3/1995 one month later 8/3/1995 during re-registration the car was titled as having 148,810 miles.Now something went wrong there.....How can anyone log 99,886 miles in a month? Let us do the math: 99,886 mi / 30 days = 3329 miles per day.For one to travel 3329 miles /(in) 24 hours = you need to drive(speed;) 138 miles per hour 24 hours a day for 30 days.Not very likely. Since that happened when I registered the car the title reads 60,500 but with "exceeds mech limits" designation...But I don't know what GM was thinking when they used a 5 digit odometer and a 85 MPH speedometer to begin with, so this is what we have to deal with 26 years later. The condition of the car to me, indicates it has less than 100,000 miles; it still has the original factory exhaust, it is a 100% rust free body, fuel/brake lines, suspension, and frame. The interior plastics are still well formed, colored, and unstained. The glass is clear, and not scratched. There is only minor wear on the original steering wheel. I bought in 2010 from the 2rd owner who started a restoration and due to costs, too many car projects and not enough space had to sell this one.I am now selling it because of the same reasons as the above, except this car is done. Payment must be made in cash, postal money order, anytime. During business hours money order or bank check drawn on Wells Fargo or a personal check can be sent ahead and once cleared title will be signed over. Delivery of vehicle is possible as I do have access to a flat bed trailer contact me for location and we can discuss fees. Payment of vehicle must be done before delivery. Now its most likely those of you looking at buying one of these cars already knows a lot about them and wants one BADLY. So good luck, and welcome to the Darkside. Here are two video links to YouTube showing a walk around and a test drive who else does listing like this? Most sellers give a few sentences and a few pics; you're getting the whole experience.
