You are welcome to see and test drive the car during the auction.

This 40 years old jewel drives excellent, looks nice and needs virtually nothing!!

I describe the vehicle as accurately as possible; however there is no possible way to know everything about a vehicle that has been previously driven subjected to normal wear and tear, both cosmetically and mechanically. Mileage believed to be accurate according the condition of the car, but I cannot certify it (unable to run Carfax report due to vehicle age).

Must have the funds available before bidding.

Thanks for looking and Happy bidding !!!!!!!!!
