A few of its attributes:
-3 owner car. This car has clearly been well cared for over the past 30 years. It has always been garaged since myneighbor purchased it 11 years ago and by the looks of it, probably by its previous owners as well.
-Color-matched removable hardtop is included.The cloth top moves up and down easily and is in excellent condition. The rear windows are very clear with nocreasing.
-Low miles: 130,794
-Original booklets and manuals are included.
-The BFG 'Touring T/A' tires are in excellentcondition with approximately 80%+ tread left.
-Maintenance booklet shows that this car has been properly serviced on aregular basis- much of it at the originaldealership the car waspurchased from.
-A brand new battery was installed last week
-The body isstraight and shows noevidence of accidents other than the aforementioned incident with the garage wall. The painthas a few small chips, but still has nice depth and gloss.
Things you should know:
-The power antenna is bad. When you hit the switch, you can hear the motor run, but the mast won't go up.
-Body damage on the driver's side- mostly the drivers door (dent and scratches), but also some scrapes/scuffing on the front and rear wheel opening/lip and driver's side bumper rubber. It isdifficult to show the damage in the photos (especially the dent), but I have included images showing shots of each individual panel.
-There are some very small dents along the top of each front fender- as if a mechanic may have leaned on it a little too hard when working on the car. They are very slight- so much so that they really don't register in the photos, but can definitely be seen in a certain light and therefore, need to be mentioned.
-There is some surface rust on either side of theradiator core support- see pics in imageshack gallery. Thepaint is a bit flaky and has come off it a couple spots, but it is only surface rust, no rot or cancer.
-There is some slight fading on the outer edge of the driver's side seat. Again, I've included a photo here to illustrate this, but it ishard to see.
-Since the battery was changed, the radio has coded-out and so far, the owner cannot find the code. We will try to remedy this problem before the auction ends, but can't guarantee it.Please assume that you are bidding on a car with a locked out radio. It should benoted that the radio workedfine before this snafu, other than the aforementioned antenna problem.
