YOU ARE LOOKING AT A 1976 2002 AUTO, A/C, SUNROOF CAR THAT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 9 YEARS. I DO NOT KNOW IF MILES ARE ACCURATE, THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID THEY WERE, BUT, I DID OR DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM. THE TITLE SHOWS MILES EXEMPT AND WAS LAST TITLED IN1999.. MY UNDERSTANDING IS, THAT I AM THE FOURTH OWNER, OF WHICH THE LAST TWO OWNERS HAD NOT FINISHED THE RESTORE. THE PREVIOUS OWNER PURCHASED IT WITH GOOD INTENTIONS OF RESTORING IT, YOUNG KID 20 YEARS OLD, WELL, AFTER THE EXCITEMENT HAD WORN OFF, REALITY SAT IN. IT WAS JUST TOO BIG A JOB FOR HIM AND NOT ENOUGH CASH. AFTER HE HAD BOUGHT SEVERAL PARTS FOR IT WITH ADVISE FROM SHADE TREE MECHANICS :) HIS MOTHER STEPPED IN AND SAID; ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, THEY PUT IT UP FOR SALE, MY SON SAW IT ON LINE AND WANTED IT TO RESTORE, YOU KNOW, ME AND HIM(FATHER SON REBUILD) THAT QUICKLY TURNED INTO ME.... LOL. I HAD A 72 Tii YEARS AGO AND ENJOYED IT AND DID ENOUGH WORK ON IT TO GET IN TROUBLE. WELL, MY SON WAS GETTING HIS DRIVERS LICENSE IN 6 MONTHS AND THOUGHT WE WOULD GET IT DONE. HE WAS REALLY EXCITED AND WE STARTED THE PROJECT, WELL, NEEDLESS TO SAY THE EXCITEMENT MY SON HAD, HAS SINCE WORN OFF (16 YRS OLD). HE HAS HIS LICENSE AND HAS NO PATIENCE TO WAIT ANY LONGER. I HAVE A 76 FIAT SPIDER, I'M WORKING ON AND NEED TO FINISH IT INSTEAD. OK, YOU GOT THE STORY THAT HAS LEAD TO SELLING THIS CAR. NOW, I WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW AND HAVE HAD CHECKED OUT MECHANICALLY / COSMETICALLY. THIS CAR IS A BARGAIN AT $1500......IT IS A COMPLETE CAR........LOOK AT THE PHOTOS AT FLICKR......DO NOT MISS THIS DEAL!!!! I'VE TAKEN AS MANY PICTURES OF THIS 2002 AS I CAN TO SHOW YOU THE VEHICLE AS I SEE IT, YOU CAN GO TO FLICKR & SEE MORE PHOTOS.....http://www.flickr.com/photos/51008199@N05/?saved=1. I BELIEVE THIS WOULD MAKE A GOOD RESTORATION PROJECT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS, IT IS A COMPLETE CAR WITH AUTO, A/C, AND SUNROOF!!! THE VEHICLE NEEDS COSMETICS MORE THAN ANYTHING. THE ENGINE IS FULL OF OIL AND HASN'T LEAKED A DROP, NEITHER HAS THE TRANSMISSION. THE RUST ISSUES ARE REPAIRABLE AND AFTER MY BODY GUY LOOKED AT IT, SAID IT WAS MINIMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THE AGE, HE HAS SEEN A LOT WORSE. ALL TOWERS ARE GOOD, FRAME, DOOR JAMS, (TRUNK IS NEAR PERFECT), FLOOR PANS JUST NEED PATCHING WITH A FEW SMALL HOLES, AROUND THE WINDSHIELD NEEDS ATTENTION, A LITTLE UNDER THE HOOD, THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE ROOF, A FEW HOLES THE SIZE OF A DIME AND QUARTER, BUT, MOST OF IT INSIDE IS SURFACE RUST ONLY, AND, ALL THE ROOF HEADLINER FOAM IS THERE. THE SUNROOF NEEDS CABLES, THE HANDLE WORKS, WINDOWS WORK, ALL GLASS IS GOOD. THE BELT LINE IS IN AMAZING CONDITION. THE HOOD AND REAR PIECE IS GOOD NOT IN PICTURES. I TOOK A LITTLE OVEN CLEANER AND CLEANED A SPOT ABOUT 2 INCHES THEN POLISHED IT, WOW, LIKE NEW. THE SEATS WERE TAKEN OUT OF A 72 Tii AND THE FRONT AND REAR SEATS ARE ALL THERE EXCEPT ONE 6" TEAR IN DRIVERS SEAT. MY PLANS WERE TO TAKE OUT THE CARPET AND DYE IT THE ORIGINAL BLUE, I'VE DONE IT BEFORE, NO BIG DEAL. THE RIMS ARE ALL GOOD WITH NO DAMAGE, JUST NEED REFINISHING.THERE ARE PARTS IN THE TRUNK. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE. MY PLANS WERE TO CLEAN/FLUSH/SEAL TANK. ADD ELECTRONIC IGNITION, NEW WIRES, PLUGS, FUEL PUMP, ETC, YOU KNOW THE DEAL, MY PLANS WERE TO HAVE MY SON DRIVE THIS CAR, SO, PULLING WHEELS, CHECK FOR BRAKE JOB, FRONT END, ETC. ITEMS THAT ARE KNOWN MISSING; THE LOWER MOLDINGS, THE FRONT HOOD BELT LINE TRIM IS AVAILABLE, THE REAR TRIM BETWEEN TAILLIGHTS ALSO AVAILABLE, JUST NOT SHOWN. THAT'S ALL I KNOW THAT IS MISSING. I'VE TOLD YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT THIS CAR, AGAIN, IT IS NOT RUNNING, BUT, DID RUN AND IS NOT SEIZED, THE MOTOR DID RUN, AND IT WAS DRIVABLE BEFORE IT WAS PARKED WHEN THE A/C QUIT FOR UNKNOWN REASONS, IT IS THE BEHR SYSTEM., ALSO, THE LAST TIME IT WAS CRANKED AND DRIVEN WAS IN 1999 STATED BY PREVIOUS OWNER. I AM LISTING THIS CAR FOR 3 DAYS ONLY AND HAVE IT ADVERTISED LOCALLY, THE FEDX GUY THAT RIDES BY EVERYDAY SAYS IF YOU DECIDE TO SELL THAT CAR LET ME KNOW, WELL, WE ALL NO HOW THE STORY ENDS WITH THAT, RIGHT? IF YOU ANY QUESTIONS OTHER THAN; CAN YOU TAKE MORE PICTURES(GO TO FLICKR AND VIEW OTHER PICTURES), PLEASE EMAIL OR CALL ME 386-451-0395 BEFORE 10PM EASTERN. THANKS, RALEIGH. AGAIN, I'M SELLING THE CAR, NOT PARTS OFF IT. IF AT THE END OF THE AUCTION, NO ONE BUYS IT, I MAY PART IT OUT, BUT, IT WOULD BE A SHAME, THIS COULD MAKE A REALLY NICE RESTORED CAR FOR VERY LITTLE EXPENSE......GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS On Jun-11-10 at 10:11:54 PDT, seller added the following information: HI, GETTING TO THE PICTURES & TO GET TO FLICKR, LEFT CLICK ON THE WEB SITE 3 TIMES, THEN GO TO THE DROP DOWN TO FLICKR AND IT TAKES YOU RIGHT TO THE PICTURES, THANKS, RALEIGHOn Jun-12-10 at 09:09:29 PDT, seller added the following information: OK...........THE BEST DEAL ON EBAY LAST CHANCE.26 HOURS LEFT.
