The original window sticker is still amazingly present and in good condition, along with the original owners manual that shows all mileage and service up until 100k miles. This Ghia has always been inCalifornia and has been well cared for. This Ghia had previously been parked since at least 2002 and was out of daily driver rotation. We have brought the car back up to speed with the following work being done recently: New tires, new brakes (wheel cylinders, shoes, pads, rotors, front wheel bearings and seals, flex lines, and master cylinder), new autostick diaphragm, new clutch, tune up (oil change, valve adjustment, new points, spark plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor), new battery, new exhaust, and a few other needed items attended to. This Ghia runs and drives well and everything works as it should: All exterior lights, all interior lights,gauges, speedometer, turn signals, wipers, radio, horn, etc. all works as intended. Interior is in good condition for it's age although it does show some minor wear in the usual areas and some holes in the headliner.Original dash clock was removed and a working tach was installed without modifying the dash. Original dash clock with be included with the sale. All glass is in good condition. Body appears to be all original sheet metal. Floor pans are in excellent condition. Some minor bumps, dings, rust, and wear that you would expect to see on a vehicle of this age. At one point it has had an exterior respray in theoriginal color ofChrome Blue. Paint does shine well, but does show it's age. One area around the drivers rear taillight was repaired and touched up by the previous owner. Original keys work all locks and ignition. Overall this is a well optioned Ghia in a great exterior and interior color scheme and you would be hard pressed to find another in this condition, with these options and history.
