upfront, lease hear this:I am helping sell this car for a older man that bought it from me. He got buyers remorse after buying the car. A very nice car dealer named Geffin Durango, O handled buying the car for him. I consider this car a upper end driver quality car, ts good, ust not a perfect show queen. I think I tell it like it is in my listing. Please read the listing. The old man complained about the seat not moving back, he heater not working, ouched up places of paint and drops of oil on his clean floor. I must admit I did not check the seat, hese cars are small and most people use the seat all the way back, y guess is the runners just need lubed, f your over 5 foot 8 inches you will want the seat all the way back. I did check the heater, e fixed the heater blower and one cable, think it worked. The car does have some touched up places and other paint flaws, ut it looks good unless you look for flaws. As far as fluid leaks, nless you buy a high dollar car that is built fresh your going to get some drops. If you pay $80,000 for a baby bird you should not have anything wrong. If you buy a driver, t should look good, rive good and you should not have to fix anything unless you want it a 100%. This car is a real nice driver, ts just not a perfect show queen. Call or email me and I'll give you Geff's number and email, e can give you his opinion on the car. Please read and think about the description below. I'm just listing this car and helping because I think this is a good car and I want people to be happy.
VIN C7FH132270 The title, IN plate and cowl tag all match.
HISTORY: The car lived in Owenton, Y for many years, y car restoring friend that lives near Cincinnati, H bought the car and I bought it from him.
DO YOU SEE ANY RUST? I see no rust bubbles in the paint, he frame is solid and the floors look good other than old car surface rust color. I consider this a very solid car.
HOW IS THE ENGINE? Its a good running292 cubic inch. I hear no knocks or unwanted rattles and it has plenty of power. The carburater is a 4 barrel Holley. It starts and runs good.
HOW IS THE TRANSMISSION? Its a 3 speed manual that shifts good.
HOW IS THE REAR-END? I hear no grinding or growls and its a good highway gearing.
HOW ARE THE BRAKES? Drums on all four and they stop good to me. Fronts have a new brake job and back recently.
HOW IS THE STEERING? Manual steering, o me the car drives real good for the day.
HOW IS THE PAINT? The body is straight when you look dow the sides, see no dents or dings, see some minor touched up chips and minor flaws, t has a real good shine. I consider the paint upper end driver quality, ts not a $30,000 roll out of the trailer show queen paint job, ut its very presentable paint. The car was not red from the factory, t has been repaint red, oor jambs and other areas painted red.
HOW IS THE CHROME? Nice chrome, he bumpers look new, he grill and nose chrome look like new, he door handles and emblems nice, ort hole chrome has some tiny pits.
HOW IS THE INTERIOR? Dash pad is nice, arpet good, eadliner good with some minor discoloring, eat cover good with a worn bead where the driver slides in and a couple of tiny flaws.
CONVERTIBLE TOP: Its just good enough to keep rain off if you get cought out with the hard top off. It does not have holes, ut the fit is not good at all. It has been folded behind the seat for many years and has srinkage. It would keep most of the rain off if you got cought out without the hardtop on. It just looks bad and fits bad, ut will turn water.
HOW IS THE GLASS? Good other than a wiper mark on the windshield outer edge. Side wind wings are nice, ront top of window fit not good.
HEAD LIGHTS WORK! TAIL LIGHTS WORK!
TURN SIGNALS WORK! BRAKE LIGHTS WORK!
GAUGES ARE AFTER MARKET AND FIT IN THE DASH CLUSTER GOOD!
WIPER MOTOR IS MISSING, hey were vacuum motors and junk, after market electric motor kit is available.
GAS GAUGES IS WORKING! OIL PRESSURE IS GOOD!
HORN WORKS IF YOU PUSH IN THE RIGHT SPOT!
SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT HOOKED UP WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR. WE HOOKED IT UP AND IT IS JUMPY AND MAKES SOME NOISE. I CANNOT FIND A NEW REPRODUCTION, HE ORIGINAL NEEDS REBUILT, EVERAL PLACES REBUILD THEM. I MAY TAKE IT OUT AND LUBE IT WITH GRAFIT POWER.
