When I bought the car in 1989 it needed new leather seat upholstery and a new top. It still needs those items, and now the chrome bumpers and grille need chroming or replacement. Or, you can park it in a garage and only drive it on nice days like I did.
The car runs, stops and drives great. The steering has a little play in it, a maintenance item that I just did not get around to correcting as it is easily drivable as-is. Original equipment includes power steering, power brakes and fuel injection. Everything works, with the exception of the gear selection indicator, the clock, and the fuel gauge (needs a new needle). Original 60’s Becker AM-FM pushbutton radio works with great sound. Original wood veneer on dash all matches.
There is one hole in the floor pan under the passenger rear seat which allows any water penetration around the top (during washing) to drain. The rest of the floor and trunk are original and solid. Frame is solid and there are no body squeaks or clunks.
This is a driver quality car and you need not be afraid to drive it. Easy restoration as the car has few (if any) modifications. Not currently a National show quality car, almost everyone that sees it cannot resist telling me that I have a great car. Reserve is less than NADA average price of $53,000 but I believe the car is above average, and with replacement items shown below would be way above average. Please do not bid unless you have funds available within the 7 day requirement.
The car had air conditioning when I bought it but was not working. I removed the compressor and under dash component to clean up the appearance. The removed components including the wiring, switches and brackets are included in the sale, along with another under dash component that I picked up in a junkyard years ago just in case.
