Vehicle Detail

I purchased this car to tour 2 1/2 years ago with 22,000 original miles. A complete brake over haul was preformed, the mechanic who did the work said he actually removed factory installed brakes, that is why I figure the car is original low miles . A major tune up including all fluids changed, new hoses and belts. A C D player installed under the dash for old tune while we were traveling. I also installed twin pipes at that time. The interior is all original, the dash ,steering wheel are excellent no cracks. The door panels are excellent, the seats have some thread coming lose. The car had clear plastic seat covers when new a previous owner removed all but the lower front seat which I left as is. The head liner has a small hole above drivers head and passenger head. The body has been repainted, but not a good paint job even though the car looks good from a distance, there are chips and blemishes. With the low miles the car drive4s like a new Old's no shakes or shimmy's and will cruise at all the legal speed limits. I put 4,500 miles on the car and it did not miss a beat. The engine is stock with all original equipment, The trunk has all original,mats upholstery and jack instructions. The only things I know wrong with the car is a minor leek in the rear main bearing. If I were going to take another serious road trip I would install new shocks and steal belted radial white walls.
