Vehicle Detail

Hi, this great bug came from a 93 yr old man in Carmel California back in 2010. He was obsessive about taking it to the same guy for upkeep and service for over 40 years. He garaged it for all that time. It's mechanically about a 9 out of 10. It's cosmetically on the outside about an 8 conservatively and all original . There is no other rust/rot on this car anywhere other than the spot on the engine lid shown in pic, this car is SOLID !! The inside is about a 9 and is about 90 % original? The two front seats have some tears on them so I just ordered nice quality ,factory style covers from TMI Interiors, They will go with the car. I will put them on before the car goes if I have them by then. The back seats are like new and all original. It has a super Statomat radio and a Bambus German parcel shelf.. The heat works excellent in this car. The rear engine Lid at the bottom has some rust spots from the lid drain being clogged. Other than that , there are only a few other minor blemishes in the cars finish. The car looks amazing, you would have to be looking for the imperfections . This car has only been driven roughly 3000 miles since being transported here to new England 4 years ago. Very limited use. This is not a Mint show car , but visually is a very nice looking original car That is a super tight driver. The underneath is perfect. Car drives like it has 66k on it. All service records complete back to the mid 80s and I have the original Blue plates from Cali. Compression is 125 in all 4 cylinders . It's a 1500 engine with 24,000 well serviced miles .The motor was replaced 24k miles ago when the car had 40k. It was a GEX Rebuilt motor, I have receipts detailing this. This car doesn't need a thing ! It is ready to be driven & enjoyed now.. I live a few miles off I95 near the MA/NH Line. You are more than welcome to come view the car anytime. Just drop an email. Also , very easy for a transporter to pick up the car. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding !!! THIS IS A NO- RESERVE AUCTION. SO, BID TO WIN ! THE CAR IS ALSO FOR SALE LOCALLY AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY IF THE CAR SELLS BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS......WITH BUY IT NOW , I WILL HAVE IT DELIVERED FOR FREE UP TO 200 MILES..
