On Jan-06-18 at 11:57:25 PST, seller added the following information: today on Saturday December 6 2017, I went ahead and pulled the plugs , gave each one a squirt of marvel mystery oil for safety , and removed the belt , took and a 1-5/16th wrench on the front of the motor and it turned freely and effortlessly back and forth to confirm motor was not seized , the plugs looked good , I took some pictures of the plugs and installed each one in the exact place it came from , the motor looks like it was in a time shell, once the fuel system and carb have been maintained and cleaned old fuel out and the electrical spark checked ,fresh fuel added it should start, however ,its gonna smoke now until the marvel mystery oil burns out of the cylinders, anyway the rings have been hit with a quick lube and the motor is freeit still a car that's been sitting and will need properly put back into service , I did this because more than one person ask if the motor was frozen , it is not and was free spinning and was not stuck I have a 25 second video of it on my phone also the manufacture date is 9/1979 which means I believe it was an early 1980 and does have ac that's kinda rare on a drop top its a complete car and the trunk rack is in nice shape , I have lots more pictures and some from today , just ask ill send them if I didn't mention it I can recommend a shipper ,if your real close I could possible do it ask before you buy or handle that yourself , thanks thank you I donate profits to charity
