Hello, This is a California car that experienced a blown head gasket in July. Cooling system - radiator, hoses, thermostat and water pump under 2 years old. Transmission fluid changed at 100K and no issues. Seat incline gears replaced a few years ago with reinforced parts. Much of the maintenance done by Kings Auto in Orange CA. Contour staggered wheels with brand new tires (Jan 2017). Upgraded radio and AC controller has the capacitor fix. Depo projector glass headlights are clean no chips but Angel lights are dim. Speakers are original and need replacement but subwoofer is good. Top needs replacement straps but works with manual assistance to clear the back deck. Contour wheels in good condition with minor curb rash on two. LED interior light kit and license plate lights installed with no computer errors. No leaking power steering lines. All body panels are intact with no visible dents. Left quarter panel and passenger door had minor dent repairs from damage created by a falling basket ball hoop that grazed the side. The repaint on the left side of the car is fading and the clear coat is peeling. The hood and right side panels have good paint condition. No rust. Interior carpet is good. Battery is good. Issues: Front bumper cover is completely detached from lower front but intact as it came off from a blown front tire episode. Attachment points would need to be reinforced to reattach. Plastic brake ducts next to the fog lights missing. Passenger side window motor needs replacing as window is stuck 3/4 up. Original shocks. Glove box shows some shrinkage but still works. Top interior lining is loose at the dog ears and the plastic windshield headliner is cracked. Typical leather seat side bolsters are cracked. Custom vinyl seat covers protected the seats from further damage. Rear passenger speaker side leather insert is popped out from moisture that leaked in when the window was not closed tight. Other rear panel is good. Front speaker rings cracked. Driver side turn signal missing. Fuel door is slightly loose. Small spider crack on lower part of the passenger side windshield. I do not want to deal with parting out pieces as I do not have room to store the car. I hope this can be a good project car for a home grown mechanic that can save it. The car will need to be hook towed on a flat bed. Towing is the responsibility of the buyer. Local buyers will be most convenient. As is, no guarantees and no refunds.
