No reserve now -- I need this to go. This car is 26 years old and looks like its 2, even the A/C blows cold. The seats need good covers or re-upholstery & the antenna replaced The dash looks very good without any cracks. The car comes with a ragtop that looks good; it has 4 repairs that match closely the original color and has no leaks. All the glass is good with no cracks. The body is in great shape & no rust either. The motor & compartment are very clean. The chrome & paint shine, even the wheels look good. A small spot on hood between washers needs buffing. All the lights work and I got the car with 4 new tires (BF Goodrich) a good new battery and new starter. The car does run very ruff. If you work on motors this could be a great car. Just 2 seats, the back is carpet. What a ride! (it drives like its on rails) The doors close with a very solid feel. I drove it home & then parked it. I put new plugs, rotor & cap in and fixed some of the vacuum lines & it’s running better but still very ruff –too ruff to drive until fixed (other than very short test drives). Plug wires are next and the mechanics told me to fix every vacuum line in the car before I even think of opening the motor, the vacuum system is that critical to these and after 26 years some of it is dried & cracked allowing leaks. The transmission is solid and shifts the way it should and the car does not over heat or leak anything. I thought I could fix it but it's beyond my ability, you might find something stupid I missed. I am in Dallas, TX. Non-refundable 25% of the winning bid due within 48 hours of close & I will work with you on pick up within reason.
