I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND HAVE USED IT AS A DAILY DRIVER AT OUR VACATION HOME IN N.C. I FOUND A 1977 COUPE DE VILLE ON E-BAY WITH 13,000 ACTUAL MILES AND BOUGHT IT SO THIS ONE IS FOR SALE. THIS CAR APPEARS TO BE MOSTLY ORIGINAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE QUARTER PANEL WHICH HAS BEEN PAINTED. THE PAINT OVERALL SHINES AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION. IT HAS SCRATCHES, CHIPS ETC. FROM 20 FEET IT LOOKS GREAT. THE INTERIOR IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND IS ORIGINAL TOO. BOTH DOOR PULLS NEED TO BE RECOVERED BUT THE HEADLINER, SEATS, CARPET, DOOR PANELS, GLASS AND DASH ARE IN NICE ORIGINAL CONDITION. I HAVE NEW BARCELONA EMBLEMS FOR BOTH REAR WINDOWS AS WELL AS A NEW BARCELONA HOOD ORNAMENT WHICH ARE INCLUDED WITH THE CAR. THE OWNERS MANUAL IS INCLUDED AS WELL AS A SUN TUNE UP CHART AND A 1977 PAINT CHIP CHART. THE CAR DRIVES GREAT!! I HAVE REPLACED THE FOLLOWING SINCE PURCHASE: RADIATOR, FUEL PUMP, MASTER CYLINDER, FUEL FILTER, TUNE UP AND LOF. THE A/C WORKS FINE BUT REQUIRES A ONCE A YEAR CHARGE. IT BLOWS COLD AND THE HEAT WORKS TOO. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL AM/FM RADIO WHICH ALSO WORKS AS DOES THE CLOCK. IT SHIFTS PERFECTLY AND THE BRAKES DO NOT PULL. THE TIRES ARE GOOD TOO. IT HAS DEVELOPED AN OIL (MOTOR) LEAK, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK (I REPLACED THE SWITCH?) AND THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR IS NOT ORIGINAL. I FOUND ONE ON E-BAY SEVERAL MONTHS AGO FOR $55.00 AND WAS TOO STUPID TO BUY IT. ANOTHER ONE WILL COME ALONG I SUPPOSE? THE VINYL TOP IS CRACKED AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES. OVERALL THIS IS A DECENT DRIVER QUALITY CAR THAT WOULD BE EASILY RESTORED IF THAT WAS YOUR OBJECTIVE. IT GETS LOTS OF ATTENTION AND A FEW PEOPLE EVEN THINK ITS PRETTY? GO FIGURE? CALL ME WITH QUESTIONS AT 239-272-9298 AND THANKS FOR LOOKING. JON THIS CAR IS BEING RELISTED AS SOME PIECE OF HUMAN GARBAGE HIT THE BUY IT NOW AND SENT A FORGED CASHIERS CHECK WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO DEPOSIT IT AND SEND THE OVERAGE TO HIS SHIPPER. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE 5 OR MORE ++ FEEDBACK E-MAIL ME BEFORE YOU BID OR I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID, SORRY. THE BUY-IT-NOW IS $4999.00 On May-21-11 at 12:41:17 PDT, seller added the following information: I am adding pictures of the right side and more of the interior. The car is in Lake Toxaway, NC and I am in Ft. Myers, Fla. so I am having my friend take the pics and send them. They will not be on till this evening late. The right side looks exactly as the left side does. There is no damage on either side. I am adding more interior pictures as well. The oil leak appears to be towards the front of the engine. It is definetly not the rear main seal. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

I have the pictures and if you are in a hurry will e-mail them to you. When my daughter wakes up we will load them; her computer skills exceed mine.On May-24-11 at 13:14:42 PDT, seller added the following information: THE FLOORMATS ARE THE ORIGINAL AMC LOGO IMPRINTED MATS.
