I am selling this vehicle for my father. Below is his description of the car. I purchased this car in 1980. At that time it drove well and everything worked on the car. However, the original paint was fading and cracking and the rocker panels were showing some rust. I replaced the rockers and stripped the paint on half the car. This was too much work so I sent it to a body shop to have the paint work finished. It was repainted in the original chocolate brown color but I don't think the rest of the car was stripped to bare metal. When I got the car back from the paint shop, the engine had seized while sitting. I removed the cylinder head to make a repair but lost interest and therefore the car has been sitting in dry storage for over 30 years. It would be a good candidate for a Chevy engine swap but I'm sure the fuel and brake system would need work after all these years. I have a new front bumper, still in the original factory wrapper. There are no rips in the leather seats and the carpeting looks decent. The varnish is cracked on the wooden dash panel. Includes original jack and owners manual and factory service manual. The right front corner showed evidence of a previous accident. It looked like the outer fender was replaced and there are some wrinkles in the inner sheet metal. Perhaps that is why the front bumper was missing when I bought the car. Could be a very luxurious and excellent handling car again with an engine swap or rebuild. Please look at ALL the photos. The car has an obvious "patina" from sitting for 30 years. It is being offered with an original factory service manual as well as the Haynes manual (pictured).NO RESERVE.
