Vehicle Condition I am the third known California owner. This car was purchased for my oldest son as a father and son restoration project and for him to drive in college. It had been in a front end collision and we had the body damage professionally repaired. We then replaced the hood and front fenders. We didn’t get too far into it when he decided that he really didn’t want to drive a car to college that didn’t have A/C. The engine and trans are in excellent shape. It has only been started a few times each year for the past few years. As such, the injection system will likely need some cleaning. We put in a new fuel pump over the summer of 2011. Neither the engine nor the exhaust have been modified. Interior is in good shape, but it is missing the passenger side door panel and the new window regulator (already in the door) needs to be hooked up. (If the car sells for more than $2500, I will include two new front door panels.) Tires and brakes are excellent with tires having about 90% tread left. It has chrome wheels. It will need a front end alignment. Top is torn but I have a new top (still in the box) that goes with the car. The car has a new Sony X-Plode AM/FM CD/MP3 Stereo in place (but is not hooked up yet), with the remote, wiring harness adapter and manual in the glove box. There are custom headlights installed with blue parking lamps. It is missing the front bumber, bumber brackets and body chrome moulding on the front of the car. (see photos) This car has very little rust that I could find, (Mostly in the battery box area). It has a Salvage California Title. If the buyer intends to put it back on the road in California, it will need smog, brake and headlight inspection certification. The buyer will be responsible for all transfers fees, taxes and registration fees for this vehicle. It is not currently registered in California. Persons with less than five (5) recent feedbacks should contact me by email before bidding and I reserve the right to cancel all bids that do not comply with this provision. The car is also up for sale locally, so I reserve the right to cancel the auction if the car is no longer available. It is for sale locally at the “Buy it now” price. Terms Of Sale Please ask questions BEFORE you bid. If there are any questions you would like to ask, feel free to call Glenn at (559) 307-9378.
