Vehicle Detail

This vehicle is in EXTREMELY GOOD Condition (The appraiser called it "Condition 1" ), with 32,562 miles! I just purchased this vehicle from an estate. The estate provided me all of the maintenance records (that they knew existed). I believe the title was held by 3 people as I see 3 different titles in the paperwork they gave me. I suppose I make 4. The original hub caps, although not on the vehicle, will come with the sale (as photo'd) in addition with the car cover. Please allow photo's to be the end-all determination as to the accuracy of my words. I'm not an overly experienced vintage car owner. However, I know that this vehicle is beautiful. This vehicle is currently being stored in a temperature-controled garage. From what the estate has told me, it has ALWAYS been stored in a temperature control garage. I've scanned what appears to be the original dealer tag / shipping document. The original paperwork and service records which was provided to me will be given to you upon sale. I'm not certain what else you would like to know. If you have a question, please ask. I will do my best to answer promptly! I have additional photos that I can send upon request (eBay is only allowing a maximum of 24 photos). Send me your email address and I'll do my best to send you the photos. Ultimately this vehicle is being sold "AS-IS", with no warranty explicit or implied! As for pickup/shipping: The car is located in Shelby Twp, MI, United States. It can be picked up and driven away or you have have it picked up by a shipper. If you are planning on having the car shipped, you must make all arrangements for the shipping. I can be involved with the timing/scheduling for the pickup, but I will not be involved with financing or facilitating anything else with the shipper. (This means I will not be handing the shipper any money! You must be pay the shipper directly!) This is a 10 day auction. If we can finalize and receive payment prior to 11/3/12, we can handle the transition then. We can also transition the vehicle to you after 11/10/12! However, I will be unavailable between 11/3/12 and 11/10/12, and will be unable to meet with you (or the shipper) during these 7 days. However, during this period, I still will be able to communicate with you electronically or by the phone though... it just won't be as fast and accommodating as it would be before or after this time. On Oct-30-12 at 09:13:13 PDT, seller added the following information:Update: I have received so many messages and requests for data that I'm going to provide some of those answers for all to see: As for driving it: It drives great. It drives as straight as expected. The air condition seems like the air is blowing colder than the the outside temp (its cold here in Michigan and obviously I have to open the garage door to start the car to run the air). I have heard a belt squeal a couple times after its warmed up and appears to be the fan belt when the fan first turns on. The only other issue I have discovered by responding to the questions are that the driver side entrance to the back seat obviously has a mechanism for releasing the driver seat and allowing it forward. There is a little round black ball (about 1 inch in diameter) that is missing on the driver side. The little ball does exist on the other side, which is how I realized that it should have been there in the first place. I have photos of the tire tread for a back and front tire. There is more tread on the back tires than the front. If you want these photos, please send a message. do not put anything private in the message so I can respond and concurrently post that message, with the photos, to the eBay site. The AM radio in the dash does not work. I'm assuming the reason is that the previous owner installed a newer radio underneath the driver seat which will operate the sound system. I was asked to place a soft magnet around the tire wells and other areas to make sure there was metal and not composite in those areas. My magnet adhered to all areas that I test. Obviously I couldn't test every areas. I believe this car will sell at a much higher rate if you can see the care in person. If you are in my area (Shelby Twp, MI), we can make arrangements for you to see the vehicle and take a test drive (with me in the vehicle - so long as its not raining outside). Also, if you wish to see the vehicle, we will meet a gas station or such because the car is being stored in my home. If you are going to want to test drive it, I will be making a copy of your Driver's License and you will have to sign something stating you are responsible if you crash the vehicle or cause any damage. The lien is free and clear and I have the title in my hand and am legally the signer for the sale. Again, I'm not a car guy but this car is beautiful. It's too bad everyone couldn't see this car in person.
