STATUS: The car is a grade 4 (plus) and needs TLC. The reserve is low commensurate with the current grade of the car and the amount of new, NOS and good used parts which are already on the car and others which go with the vehicle.

Drum brakes have been redone but significantly grab (need adjustment or a new proportioning valve?) Rug is serviceable. Tilt / telescope steering column has also been installed. WORK NEEDED: New power top and rear window in addition to a replacement interior. Power top is slow but have new power top motor, two cylinders, hoses and fluid for replacement. Front power window motors have been replaced but the driver’s side needs a replacement helper spring (part included) and the polarity on the passenger side reversed. The rear windows do not work. Two replacement power window motors go with car. While brakes have had extensive work, they remain very touchy. THE CAR WILL NEED TO BE TRAILERED. MANY EXTRA PARTS INCLUDED: (refer to pictures): heater/AC box, cornering lights, side marker lights, extra hoses and belts, AM/FM radio, trunk lock and keyset, black fiberglass seat back and seat side covers, roof rail weather stripping, radio bezel, seven tail light assemblies, heater / AC dash control head, heater control valve, “Chrysler” trim script, extra chrome trim, repainted bumper jack stand, base and lug wrench, speedometer head with gauges, upper dash head (idiot light bar), NORS console body, speedometer head, gauges, dash switches, master cylinder and power booster cylinder, power steering pump, power steering box, power brake booster, master cylinder, original steering column and steering wheel and extra parts.
