Vehicle Detail

This is a one family owned low mileage car in very good condition for it's age. 318/auto a/c manual brakes. Pass. 1/4 was replaced in 1989 after an accident but looks to be done well. The entire car was repainted at that time.The floors are solid, but have surface rust as shown in the pics. The pics make it look worse than it is. The floors do not need replaced. The trunk floor has some minor surface rust, but appears to be useable with some sandblasting or ? The drivers lower rear 1/4 has some small bubbles and may need a patch, but the rest or the car is VERY solid. Minor surface rust at rear corners of rear window. I asked a Body man if they needed cut out and he said no way, just spot blast, still very solid. The glass is nice with no cracks or chips. The doors close nicely with no sag, confirming the low milage. The subframes are excellent inside and out. The suspension parts are very restorable with only a light dusting of rust, no nasty rust. Lower ball joints do need replaced, but if I were keeping the car, I would replace all the wearable items, They are 45 years old after all. The engine runs smooth and quiet after rebuilding the carb, and installing electronic ignition and new cap and rotor(Pertronix) The brakes were bled and a new master cylinder was installed. The inside of the gas tank is spottless as is the sending unit. The car sat in a garage since 1995, but we now have it running and driving. However, I would not drive it across the country just yet.The a/c comes on but is not cold. There are no visible signs of leaking , so it may just need a charge. The seats and headliner have some weak seams but are all there. The dash pad is nice but has a small crack on the bottom pass side not visible in the pics. The car is not missing any trim and all the stainless is nice.The car still needs some tlc but is an excellent start. I would love to keep it, but my son is heading to college and I can't have two toys. These cars are getting very hard to find in this condition, and you will not be disappointed. I cannot stress enough how good the overall condition is. Thanks for reading the long description.
