Vehicle Detail

This is a great running little taxi cab. It starts instantly runs, drives and stops really well. Most of the lights work and it shifts well also. The paint is weak- as it is probably 1957 vintage. The leather seats are dry in back but new in the drivers compartment. The bumpers are solid but need some straightening . Glass seem good all the way around. Tires are old but are ok for short trips. The heater and wipers work as well. The reason for the potential sale of the vehicle is- the fellow who was scheduled to do the restoration is thinking about retiring and I wanted to see if there was any interest in the car because of it's uniqueness before I looked for another shop to do the cosmetics needed. PLEASE ONLY CALLS to go over the taxi. If you have any questions or concerns please call. I do plan of offering it locally for sale with a best offer and no sale price at this time. I don't think you will find a more solid interesting vehicle that can be used as is or with paint and some restoration have a really fine vehicle. It has been in the US almost all of it's life . George 303-823-8777- We live 45 minutes north of Denver,Colorado. Storage is not a problem and I would be glad to help with shipping arrangements - I do think the shipping costs should be paid for by the new owner if a sale takes place. On May-09-14 at 08:21:36 PDT, seller added the following information: PLEASE NOTE......... I have listed the car in two places. I thought it would be one auction within E_BAY and would just be listed twice. It ended up running two auctions. The taxi is listed in this site under Austin and also under Other Makes. I will leave it here under Austin for a few days for followers to see and then delete it and have it listed ONLY under Other Makes for the final days- if it does make the full seven days- Please start following the auction under Other Makes and models- Sorry for the confusion.............GeorgeOn May-12-14 at 10:44:10 PDT, seller added the following information: PLEASE NOTE..................PLEASE NOTE...............PLEASE NOTE..................Because bidders have bid higher and did not see the note above I am going to let THIS AUCTION RUN and delete the one under Other Makes on Monday night. Again Calls are welcome...................George
