Vehicle Detail
Thank you for your interest. I am the third owner, and have only owned the car for a short while. The car was purchased at Plaza Motor Company in Creve Coeur MO, and spent most of its life in Indiana. The car was sold by the original family to a nephew in Florida in 2014. My goal was to bring the car to Concours condition, but I am starting a business and need the cash for start-up costs. The car is mechanically in good condition, and I recently spent $6100 on maintenance and upgrades. I have scans of the invoice for the motor work and of the work performed recently in Houston. Also, I have records including the original dealer invoice, but I don't have regular oil and brake fluid maintenance records before 2005. My understanding is that the car was maintained by the same mechanic (Farmer) for most of its life until 2014. The car is stock in terms of suspension and other performance items besides the DME chip. The catalytic converter was removed, but the original exhaust pipe is still on the car. The car was painted in 2005 and the seats were recovered in the same year. This year, I replaced the existing performance chip with a Steve Wong chip, who also upgraded the DME board to 28 pin. Additionally, the motor was rebuilt in 2005 at 109K miles by Farmer Automotive in IN.Heads polished and ported, cylinders honed, rings replaced, timing chain and rails replaced, valves ground, and guides replaced. 134a air condition upgraded. Stereo replaced with Alpine CD player. The car has the following new items: Michelin Pilot Sport tires, OEM brake pads and rotors in the front, rebuilt calipers front and back, SS brake lines, clutch cable, shifter bushings, battery, spark plugs, air filter, valve adj, valve cover gaskets, Dot 4 brake fluid, Brad Penn 20/50 oil and filter. The car runs really well. Pulls hard, and drives straight. I believe in as much disclosure as possible, so here are the things I can think of that are negative: 1) Flaws in the paint job are difficult to detect unless viewed up close, but paint is not perfect. 2) The hood was replaced by the original owner. There is some small amount of corrosion on the hinges where the new hood was attached, but the metal is solid. No evidence of accident under the car. 3) There is some corrosion around the battery box and the paper liner under the battery is ripped and brittle.4) There is some corrosion around the underside of the rocker panels near the screw holes.5) Occasionally, the first-to-second gear shift is a little notchy, so the synchro probably needs replacing at some point in the future. The rest of the gears are smooth.6) The front right corner of the windshield is slightly delaminated and you can see moisture. I have sealed the gasket from the outside, so it shouldn't expand from there. 7) The roof has an indention about the size of a quarter, and maybe an 1/16 of an inch deep. Hard to detect unless up close.8) Rear glass heater does not work. Please send an email address to me through Ebay and I will permission you to a DropBox for additional photos. Car may be inspected at buyer's expense. Buyer responsible for scheduling and payment of shipping. Down payment due within 24 hours of Auction completion. I must approve final form of payment.
