This is a beautiful American luxury car ready for restoration.. It is complete and original. The car has not been driven on a regular basis since 1982. Up until a short time ago, the engine had not been started in 29 years. It sat in a wharehouse until five years ago, when it was moved to a ranch and put up on blocks. Since I bought the car, I have replaced the gas tank, gas lines, fuel sending unit, shocks, tires, and fuel pump. It starts and runs fine at first, but lopes a little after it warms up. I would think a carb kit would solve the problem. The interior is near perfect, with one small tear on the drivers side back rest. The big 460 engine has tremendos power, and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly. The overall condition of the body is not bad, but there are a few rust spots that have to be removed before painting( See Picks).All the glass is in excellent condition, but the windows wont go down without a little help. There is an exhaust leak at the egr tube, which is common with the 460 engine, you could plug it or replace it. The a/c needs a new compressor,and there is one in the trunk still in the box. I dont know if it is still good. The floor pans seam solid and the carpet still looks good. I have driven the car on the highway at highway speeds and it rides very smooth.Please feel free to ask any questions or request more pictures. Thanks.
