Vehicle Detail

Bought in 1988, 93,000 mi., as restoration hobby, it was white. Rusted headlights, rocker panels and foot went through the floor when first put duck taped top down. Kraco radio 1990 Stripped car of everything and flat bedded to welding shop for 3 years. All rust cut out and metal replaced and new floor pan. Body squared and made solid. found out original color was orange 1993 assembled car, new shocks, brakes and fluid, and exhaust, reviewed engine (OK), then drove to friends body shop. Kept for 3 years all body work done (see pictures) and then several coats of Mercedes white paint and clear coat. Sand blasted all rims, black inside/silver outside. Car now always kept in a locked garage. 1997 Specialist in Dover, NJ put in new carpets, new leather on seats, new convertible top. Then added Panasonic amfmcd with 5x7 speakers that sit on rear seat with Velcro...sounds great. 2002 Drove 100 miles to retirement village in Whiting, NJ, again garage kept, just used for local concerts and drive around. Plates: "QQ 72 Karm", did not put more than 100 miles per year. 2008, stopped driving car except for start up 4x/yr and drove around the block to keep gaskets wet and rotate flat spots on tires. Now too old to do any more work or enjoy the car as I used to. Car is FOB Whiting, NJ, suggest flat bed as it has not been driven far in a long time. current mileage is 94,500. It will start now and runs good. Car will come with many extras, cover, manuals, spare parts. Auto stick shift works great, factory AC is missing compressor. Tons of additional pictures to substantiate.
