I’ve been chasing this car for about 12 years to buy and was finally able to buy it 2 years ago. Unfortunately in those two years I haven’t found the time I’d hope to get this car back on the road like it should be.
In that time I have had the steering column rebuilt as it was seized from sitting. I had all brand new keys made as the originals where lost. The motor turns over freely and has great compression. I haven’t thrown any fuel at it yet, but I would definitely think it will fire up. I bought it from the original owner who parked the car back in the early 2000s. He started it up every so often to keep the fluids moving but later passed away and there it sat for a number of years. I have a clean and clear title in my name. This is a 100% numbers matching car. Bought from the original owners.
The car needs work. Drivers floor/rocker is gone. Front fenders are hurt along with passenger side rear fender. Drivers door doesn’t open as the handle is broke. Good ttops are in fantastic shape. Trunk is solid, along with rear sail panel, trunk lid is crusty. Tires are black and round, they hold air long enough to get on a trailer. It’s definitely a project, but one that deserves a second chance. Price is obo, kinda hard to price something like this.
Pictures are of when I bought the car, it looks exactly the same today. Besides the hoods off and rear seats are out. I highly suggest coming to look at it, if you aren’t in the area I can send as many detailed pictures as you need. Sales are final, deposit required within 48 hours.
