THE AIR CONDITIONING BLOWS COOL BUT NOT FRIGID ICE COLD.

THE BODY IS EXTREMELY CLEAN AND STRAIGHT WITH ORIGINAL PAINT WITH A FEW STONE CHIPS AND TINY DINGS HERE AND THERE BUT NONE BIG ENOUGH TO PHOTOGRAPH - - - THE SQUEEKY CLEAN CARFAX SHOWS ZERO ACCIDENTS OR BODY DAMAGE OF ANY KIND - - - UNDERCARRIAGE IS AS CLEAN AS THE TOP SIDE - - - VERY CLEAN ORIGINAL INTERIOR WITH PERFECT DASH AND INSTRUMENTS; ORIGINAL CLOTH UPHOLSTERY SHOWS ONLY LIGHT WEAR AND SOILING WITH SOME NOTABLE WEAR ON THE BOLSTER OF THE DRIVERS SEAT, AS SHOWN.

COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNER MANUAL PLUS THE ORIGINAL CONVERTIBLE TOP OWNER MANUAL SUPPLEMENT, OTHER ORIGINAL OWNER DOCUMENTS, AND TWO KEYS, ALL AS SHOWN.

THE CARFAX STILL LIKELY SHOWS THE MILEAGE OF THIS CAR IN THE 715,000 MILE-RANGE WHICH IS AN OBVIOUS ERROR. THE ORIGINAL 1985 BUYER OF THIS CAR HAD PASSED-AWAY AND WHEN HIS WIFE TRANSFERRED TITLE INTO HER NAME SHE INADVERTENTLY INCLUDED THE 10ths DIGIT - - - THUS, INSTEAD OF 71,500 MILES IT WAS INCORRECTLY RECORDED AS 715,000 AT THE TIME OF HER TRANSFER. MY ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THIS THRU CARFAX HAVE SO FAR PROVEN UNSUCCESSFUL. HOWEVER, WHEN I TRANSFERRED TITLE INTO MY NAME THE FLORIDA DMV PROPERLY VERIFIED THE MILEAGE TO BE 71,600 AT THAT TIME, AND I HAVE THEIR CERTIFICATION WHICH GOES WITH THE CAR.

THIS IS NOT A NEW CAR - IT IS NOW 35+ YEARS OLD - THUS SHOWS GENERAL USE AND WEAR CONSISTENT WITH A 35-YEAR OLD CAR. HOWEVER, I EXPECT THAT THIS CAR IS PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF BEING DRIVEN CROSS-COUNTRY RIGHT NOW IF DESIRED.

I DO NOT SCHEDULE, ARRANGE, OR PAY FOR TRANSPORTING, HOWEVER, I WILL BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH THE TRANSPORTER OF YOUR CHOICE.

I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW AND DESCRIBE THIS CAR AS HONESTLY AND AS ACCURATELY AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE - - - ALL POTENTIAL BIDDERS ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO INSPECT AND TEST DRIVE PRIOR TO BIDDING - - - PLEASE E-MAIL OR CALL 863.268.8150 DURING BUSINESS HOURS EASTERN TIME ZONE TO SCHEDULE SUCH INSPECTION / TEST DRIVE - - - PLEASE VIEW ALL IMAGES, AND PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE AS THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD AS-IS AT NO RESERVE AND IT COMES WITH NO WARRANTIES WRITTEN, EXPRESSED, OR IMPLIED - - - THE HIGH BIDDER WILL BE THE NEW OWNER - - -
