I am relisting this car because the buyer did not have the money to pay for it. Why do people do this? Anyway,I've owned this car for 8 years and drive it less every year. Probably have not put 1000 miles on it in the last two years. I drive it in the summer, and keep it in the garage when not driving it. However, I no longer have garage space and will NOT leave it sitting outside in the weather. It is what I call a 30 footer. The body is straight, and the chrome is bright. People always comment when I drive up in it. When you get to looking it over closely, however, you can see that it could use some refreshing. I did put a new idle control module in it last fall and new tires, battery and brakes last summer. Paint has some fading on the hood and trunk from someone drizzling brake fluid on it, I am told. Convertible boot behind the seat has rough paint and a scratch from the hard top being put on carelessly. Pic of the front is in the shade. The grill is fine and there are no front end problems. Gauges: Speedometer works fine, but the odometer has been stuck on 168880 since I bought it. Owner before me said it probably had 175000 miles and I have probably put on 10,000 or less. Other gauges work. Turn signals work, but left turn signal has to be manually cancelled. Lights and horn work as they should. Neither cruise control nor air conditioning work. I have not attempted to fix either, so don't know what it will take. I never even wanted A/C in this car. Motor is strong and transmission shifts through all four gears. Overdrive works, too. Contact me with questions or for more pictures. Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to terminate this listing if it should sell. I will work with the shipper you select, but shipping fees are the responsibility of the buyer.
