This car has been in storage for a number of years. We just installed a new fuel pump and it started right up. This car runs and drives. The fuel tank was clean and without problems. The body is very straight but needs new paint, the interior is in good condition, the bumpers are about perfect, the underside is solid as it is a California vehicle, the glass is all good, the top is in great shape but needs painting as well. The interior seems to be in good condition with good seats, carpet and door panels with the exception of a missing armrest on the drivers door panel. The car is not one you would drive home without checking it over as it has not been driven for some years although it starts right up and runs well. It is complete with the exception that the radio was removed. It has alloy chrome wheels but the tires would need replacing. There does not seem to be any rust issues except three very small corrosion areas on the front hood. The sides, rear, rocker panels, top and undercarriage are in great shape. The grill and head lights are in great shape along with the rear tail lights and all chrome. The air conditioning seems to blow cold as well. Oil pressure is great as well on the car and no warning lights are on. I do have the air cleaner also but took it off to show the motor. It would need a new catalytic converter. This car would make a good restoration prospect or you could use it as a parts car. This car is rated at 222 Horsepower with 278 fp of torque with a 22.5 gallon fuel tank and speeds up to 135 mph. It has California DMV fees due on it if it was re-registered in California. I have a signed California duplicate title application and bill of sale. If you want to export it I can get a title on the vehicle but would take about two or three weeks to process, email me on this as there could be some extra costs involved.
