Description

NO RESERVE!!! NO RESERVE!!! NO RESERVE!!!
This is a low miles number matching car!
When I bought it it had been standing for many years, the previous owner worked on the car and then lost interest.
Ihave spent a lot of time and money in restoring it to what it looks like today.
Comes with AC, power steering, electric windows, cruise control
THE GOOD
Brakes have been done including new calipers, rotors and pads, as well as master cylinder.
Driveshafts have been done.
Just fitted brand new Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks front and rear
Brand new Hankook 225/70/15 tires all round sitting on sought after Rally rims.
Beauty rings and centre caps all present.
Interior completely re-done/replaced, including brand new dash, carpets, leather seat covers and rear storage compartments. All other parts have been cleaned up and freshly paintedNew rubber mats
Frame (and underside of the car have been restored using the correct products from Eastwood
Beautiful mirrored T-tops are in very good condition
Badging has been removed and restored to new
Converted to electronic choke
New radiator hose, cap, coolant reservoir
New thermostat
New spark plugs
Oil just changed - driven around the block 3 times since
All belts replacedJust replaced valve cover gaskets as there was a very slight sweating and it helped with fitting the new breatherBrand new all weather fitted car cover
Currently in the process of converting the headlights from vacuum to electric, I have all the parts for the upgrade, as well as the headlight rebuild kit. (the headlight buckets have been removed from the car as can be seen in the pics)Also the power antenna has been removed to replace the broken mast
THE BAD
Body is in pretty good condition but does need paint work, I'm leaving that for the new owner as they may like to change color, and also so you can see the condition, nothing hidden
Thereis a crack in the body on the driver fender next to the hood about 3 inches long, all intact though, minor and easy to repair
Windshield is cracked
Some wiring needs completing as there are some plugs I have no idea what to connect them to
Weather strips are all present but will need to be replaced
AC needs some work, it was stripped from the car previously, but has been re-installed together with sourcing parts that were missing at the time
Car runs and drives currently, motor runs really well. This will be a beautiful car and worth a lot more money once completed! * ADD - Last time I started it it will run while giving gas, but won't idle, something must have come loose on the carb I assume.
I would love to finish this and enjoy driving it, however I have too many projects on the go and do not have the time to continue.
NO RESERVE!!! NO RESERVE!!! NO RESERVE!!!
