Because it sat so long everything from coolant to vacuum began leaking. I have gone to great lengths to repair and reseal everything.....and I do mean everything. I can't think of a hose, gasket or seal that hasn't been replaced at this point. -Please look at the pictures carefully. This car's paint and interior are sun-faded. It has a couple dings. One is on the driver's side door, the other is on the top of the driver's side rear quarter panel.It is a very straight and rust-free Arizona car. I just don't want anyone to be disappointed if they buy the car.
