This vehicle was owned by my 83-year-old father who passed in February 2014 and I need to sell it as is because I no longer have a place to store it or want to pay insurance. I believe my father purchased the car in Florida several years ago and had it shipped to Alabama. It was stored in a garage most of the time and driven in parades. The tires were dry rotting so I had them replaced within the last month. The paint is very good for a vehicle of this age but it does have a couple of small blemishes on the hood and some of the black trim has faded. The interior has normal wear and tear. The power windows don't work but could just be a fuse. Radio and CD player appear to be aftermarket and in good condition. The car is drive-able as is but could use some cosmetic work and detailing. I believe the right person could put it back in excellent condition.On Aug-14-14 at 14:31:51 PDT, seller added the following information: This vehicle was owned by my 83-year-old father who passed in February 2014. He stopped work on it due to his health. I need to sell it as is because I no longer have a place to store it, want to pay insurance or have the skills to work on it myself. I believe my father purchased the car in Florida several years ago and had it shipped to Alabama. It was stored in a garage most of the time and driven in parades. The tires were dry rotting so I had them replaced within the last month. The paint is very good for a vehicle of this age but it does have a couple of blemishes as pointed out in the photos and some of the black trim has faded. The interior has normal wear and tear for vehicle of this age. Power windows don't work but could just be a fuse. Defroster does the job but A/C needs work. Radio and CD player appear to be aftermarket and in ok condition. I was told the car should have had a hard top from the manufacturer but there is not one now. The soft top is good with no holes or tears. The car is drive-able as is or it would be a good project for someone who wants to restore it to ideal condition.
