I JUST BOUGHT IT HERE IN NEVADA IN OCTOBER OF 2011 I'D BEEN SEARCHING FOR A LONG TIME TO FIND JUST THE RIGHT CAR FOR ME AND LUCKILY FOUND ONE. I'M THE THIRD OWNER AND THE CAR STAYS IN MY GARAGE AND HAS LIVED IT'S WHOLE LIFE IN NEVADA AND HAS ZERO RUST! AS WE ALL KNOW THAT'S WHAT THESE CARS WERE KNOWN FOR IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. MY PLAN FOR THIS CAR WAS TO DO A LITTLE RESTO TO MAKE IT A SHOW CAR AND MAYBE EVEN TAKE IT TO BARRETT - JACKSON OR MECOM AUTO AUCTIONS EVENTUALLY. I THINK IT'S THAT SWEET! AS WE ALL KNOW, HAVING THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS TO ANY VEHICLE OF THIS AGE IS VITAL AND MAKES IT MORE VALUABLE. I EVEN HAVE THE ORIGINAL BILL OF SALE FROM 1978. I'VE BEEN ON THE ROAD A LOT AND HAVEN'T HAD A WHOLE LOT OF TIME TO SPEND ENJOYING THIS CAR. TURNS OUT I HAVE TO MOVE AND CANNOT TAKE IT WITH ME. SO, WITH THAT BEING SAID I REALLY HOPE IT FINDS ANOTHER GREAT HOME. THE ONLY THING I HAVE DONE TO THE VEHICLE IS AND OIL CHANGE, NEW BATTERY AND BATTERY FRAME TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. I TOOK IT TO A SPECIALIST WHO WORKS ON Z CARS AND HE SAID IT WAS THE MOST PRISTINE Z HE'S SEEN COME THROUGH THAT PLACE IN A VERY LONG TIME. NOW HERE'S WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE VEHICLE: IT HAS 70,067 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT, I HAVE RECEIPTS AND REPAIR INVOICES DOCUMENTING THE OWNERSHIP AND MILEAGE.
