This car has had a recent ignition tune-up, new brakes all around and a transmission service.The heater blows and the A/C works. The tires have great tread left. The power top goes up and down smoothly and is in excellent condition with no tears or damage, and there is a medium blue boot to use when the top is down. Gauges and lights work. Sequential turn signals work. The carpet is in excellent condition with a rich blue color and no fading, stains or damage. The paint has a deep shine and shows well. There are a few small scratches that have been touched up and are barely noticeable. The heater core has a leak but I have a new one on the way and it will be installed prior to delivery to the new owner. It could use a new oil pan drain plug washer at the next oil change and a small leak has started at the tail shaft gasket. THERE IS NO REASON WHY YOU COULDN’T TAKE THIS CLASSIC TO ANY LOCAL OR REGIONAL CAR SHOW. THIS CAR ISN’T A TRAILER QUEEN, AND IT IS NOT PERFECT, BUT SHOWS WELL. ITS CONDITION SHOWS THIS 40 YEAR OLD CLASSIC WAS WELL CARED FOR BUT WAS ALSO DRIVEN AND ENJOYED. YOU COULD DRIVE THIS CAR WITH CONFIDENCE AS A DAILY DRIVER. IT NEEDS SEAT COVERS, VERY LITTLE TLC AND MINOR TINKERING TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL. THE GLASS IS VERY NICE. THE CHROME BUMPERS ARE EXCELLENT. THE TRUNK IS EXTREMELY ORIGINAL AND SOLID AS IS THE FLOOR PANS. THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS CLEAN AND SOLID. **PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURES** **ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING** MORE PICTURES MAY BE AVAILABLE UPON REASONABLE REQUEST PLEASE READ PAYMENT TERMS All Ownership, Insurance and/or Liabilities associated with the operation and/or maintenance will be transferred directly from the seller to the buyer at the time financial payment is remitted in full. Buyer also agrees that buyer has conducted all desired inspections of the vehicle (including title history and mechanical / cosmetic inspections) before agreeing to purchase this vehicle by private party and desires to purchase this vehicle with or without such knowledge of such history and/or inspections. Buyer further agrees and acknowledges that Seller has made no representation regarding the vehicle except those representations that are made in writing and signed / agreed upon between buyer and seller. Buyer further understands that Seller shall not be responsible in any way, for claims of any kind arising from the vehicle defects, whether or not obvious at the time of sale. Inspection I fully welcome a buyer's private inspection. I will gladly show the car in person or assist any bidder who wishes to have a private party inspect the car but this must be done prior to auction ending. The buyer is responsible for any fees incurred. Warranty This vehicle is being sold AS-IS. AS-IS is here defined as having no warranty stated, implied or otherwise expressed in any way, shape or form. The buyer assumes all and total responsibility for all or any defects known or unknown, apparent or non-apparent with this vehicle. Such defects are not limited to any area, system or part of the vehicle, but include the entire vehicle and all or any of its parts, systems or areas associated with it in all or any way. I have done my best to represent this vehicle as it appears, however, the seller is not responsible for, does not guarantee or warranty the correctness of this listing, the information contained within it, or any comments/responses to questions made about the vehicle listed, whether in verbal or written form. If you do not fully understand or do not completely agree to the above, do not bid or purchase this vehicle. Payment Methods CASH IN PERSON OR A BANK WIRE TRANSFER. Neither the vehicle nor the title will be released until all funds have cleared. Deposit & Payment of Remaining Balance A one thousand USD ($1,000) non-refundable payment is required within twenty-four (24) hours after the auction has ended to secure the transaction. This payment is required for the costs, time and loss of potential buyers associated with the auction should the sale not be completed. The remaining balance due must be paid within seven (7) business days of the close of the auction. The vehicle will not be available for delivery until all financial transactions have been completed. If the winning bidder either fails to pay the one thousand dollar USD ($1,000) payment within twenty-four (24) hours of the auction close, or does not pay the remaining balance within the seven (7) business day period, the seller has the right to refuse the sale and any payment to the seller will not be returned to the buyer. If the buyer decides after agreeing to purchase the vehicle that he or she no longer wants the vehicle, no refund of any kind will be issued. Title The title is free and clear and will be presented to the buyer after all financial transactions have been completed. Shipping I will gladly assist the buyer with the shipping of his or her vehicle, but this is ultimately the responsibility of the buyer. The buyer is responsible for all shipping charges. Notice to Bidders Your bid represents a legally binding contract. Only bid if you fully agree to purchase this vehicle if you are the winner at the close of the auction and have the necessary funds securely in place. Please ask any and all questions that you may have and/or arrange to inspect the vehicle prior to placing a bid if you wish to do so. Once you have placed a bid, if you win the vehicle, you are obligated to complete the purchase. Seller reserves the right to cancel all bids and end the auction early should the vehicle no longer be available for sale. This car is being listed as a private auction format to reduce the amount of risk for the bidder. If you win the auction, and did not inspect or have the car inspected prior to end of auction, the non-refundable deposit will be required before you see the car. This will eliminate anyone from ending my auction as high bidder only to “fly in” or “show up” to decide if they want the car or not. I have been a member of the eBay community for 12 years and have learned to be very cautious. If you have any negative feedback, a habit of canceling bids, cancel a bid you placed on my auction and / or less than a score of 5 positive feedback comments you must contact me via eBay email prior to bidding to discuss your intentions, otherwise I may cancel your bid(s). I understand the concern associated with purchasing a vehicle under this type of auction and I will do all that I can to help assist the buyer and limit the amount of risk to a minimum. Please remember that I am a reputable and trustworthy seller and I want to make the purchase of this vehicle a pleasant experience!
