Problems with the car:

- there is an exhaust leak.I believe it’s around the Y pipe as everything from the converter back is in great shape as I replaced it a few years back.I was considering installing headers and dual exhaust.

- Needs a heater core if you want heat.Currently it is bypassed.

- The air conditioning will work but needs to be recharged.

- Could use a couple of minor paint touch ups.No rust.

I’ve owned this car for over 15 years and done other work to it over the years besides the restoration.Other things I’ve done include :

-New gas tank and sending unit

-Rebuilt Carburetor

-New exhaust from the converter back

-Transmission fluid change

I have a pile of receipts I will include!

This is a Canadian car but easily transferable to the US as that’s where it was manufactured.With a deposit, I will meet the buyer in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan with the car and ownership.Cash accepted.
