1971 Volvo 142 Two Door, California car, straight body stored in dry climate

1971 Volvo Other Additional Info:

1971 Volvo 142 Two Door, California car, straight body stored in dry inland climate. Located in Ventura County, California.
Car looks good and is complete besides Fuel Tank. Good for parts or restoration? Ran well when parked in the shade in a dry inland California climate 23 years ago. All glass is intact, interior is very nice for its age. Seats, dash, and headliner are in great shape. Door panels are good with the exception of the one on the passenger door. Has rust in lower sections of certain body panels as well as below windshield due to rainwater collecting (see pictures). I scraped the paint off of where there is rust on the body panels so that you have a better chance of discerning where it is rusted through as opposed to surface rust and scale. Please understand I am working to fully disclose the extent of the rust in the pictures but can only post 24 photos total on Ebay. I have done my best to put the photos of the worst rust on the Ebay ad. Due to limitations, some rust spots will not be in the pictures. I photographed underneath the car so you can see there is very little rust there.
There is a hole in hole in the left rear passenger foot well where rainwater collected (I cut away the rust spot so you can see extent of damage). If you really want to know exactly where and how much it is rusted I suggest you or your agent inspect the car before bidding. Clean title, legal planned non operational status with California DMV. Odometer reads 175,563. In the interest of avoiding flats due to cracks in the rubber, the tires in the photos will be exchanged with 195 65 15 used tires with worn tread but fresher rubber. Car rolls freely and steers well. Please see purchase details below before bidding.
The Engine cranks over evenly but does not run if one puts in a Battery. The brake and clutch pedal travel/resistance feel normal. The Fuel Supply systems would need cleaning and Supply and Vapor Recovery Hoses inspected and replaced as needed. I removed the Fuel Tank as it was rusty. It has no Battery. This car is sold as is.
Please bear in mind that it has been inoperative for a long time, so it is very likely that it will need work other than what I'm sure of and is listed above. At a minimum, it will require a thorough safety inspection performed by a qualified mechanic to assure the car is safe and roadworthy if it is to be operated again.Thank you for your interest.
Vehicle also listed elsewhere so auction could end at any time.
