THANKS FOR VIEWING. AFTER MANY YEARS OF OWNERSHIP,  I NOW DECIDED TO SELL  THIS CAR I HAVE CHERISHED.   I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A CONDITION THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO WORK ON ANY OF MY OLD CARS---THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I AM SELLING.  THIS CAR HAS BEEN ADULT OWNED ALL IT'S LIFE AND NEVER HAD KIDS IN IT.  THE INTERIOR IS 98% PERFECT AND ONLY SHOW THE SLIGHTEST SIGN OF USE ON THE DRIVERS SEAT.  THE BACK SEAT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS NEVER BEEN SAT ON.  ALL THE GLASS IS PERFECT, THE ORIGINAL PADDED DASH IS PERFECT, CARPETS PRFECT. THE PADDED TOP IS PERFECT,  ALL THE TRIM IS VERY NICE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW DOOR DINGS IN THE WHEEL TRIM PIECES, EASY TO REPLACE---BUT THEN IT WOULD NOT BE ABSOLUTELY ORIGINAL.  BEWARE OF THOSE "RESTORED CARS", MOST OFTEN THEY NEEDED RESTORATION BECAUSE OF THINGS THE SELLER DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT. THIS IS NOT A RESTORED CAR. IN MY 8 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP I HAVE DONE THE FOLLOWING, (SOME MORE RECENT THAN OTHERS):  BRAKES ALL AROUND, (HYDRAULICS ARE FINE). ALL BELTS AND HOSES, WATERPUMP, FUEL PUMP, ADDED A LARGER FUEL FILTER AT THE REAR OF FUEL TANK.WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BEEN UPGRADED TO USE THE UNITS FROM A MODEL HAVING WIND WING GLASS. THE ORIGINAL PIECES WERE MADE OF PLASTIC AND FAIL OVER TIME. THE NEW ONES ARE METAL. WINDOWS GO UP/DOWM AS ONE SHOULD EXPECT,  NICE AND SMOOTH.ALL EXHAUST HAS BEEN REPLACED FROM THE CATYLITIC CONVERTERS BACK AND ELIMINATING THE RESONATORS, STILL FACTORY QUIET SOUND. THE MASSIVE 4 BBL CARB WAS REPLACED WITH A 2 BBL TO GREATLY IMPROVE MILEAGE. THE ORIGINAL CARBS WERE TROUBLESOME WHEN NOT USED REGULARLY.  THE ORIGINAL CARB GOES WITH THE CAR AS WELL AS ANY PART CHANGED IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE IT MORE USER FRIENDLY.  THE UNDERHOOD IS  AS  CLEAN AS A CAR MUCH YOUNGER.  THIS CAR CAN BE RETURNED TO ABSOLUTE ORIGINAL WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT. CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD IN SACREMENTO AND THERE IS A NICE STORY TO GO WITH THAT.  I STILL HAVE THE  BOX OF TISSUES  THE LITTLE OLD LADY USED BEFORE SHE DIED, IT WAS IN THE CAR.  FEEL FREE TO DISCUSS ANY CONCERNS NOT MENTIONED HERE.  AS WITH ANY EBAY PURCHASE, BE SURE YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH.  THE SALE SHOULD MAKE BOTH PARTIES HAPPY.

THINGS TO DO: WILL NEED A COMPRESSOR SEAL, LEAKS FROM SITTING TOO LONG. I DO NOT USE IT IN OUR BRUTAL SUMMERS. THE A/C HAS BEEN MODIFIED FOR COLDER OUTPUT, CONVERTED TO 134A AND TO A CLUTCH CYCLING FUNCTION RETAINING THE CLIMATE CONTROL  SYSTEM.  CAPABLE OF EXTREME COLD OUTPUT.  COULD USE A NEW FRONT PUMP SEAL IN THE TRANSMISSION. I WILL FURNISH THE "AMERICAN MADE" PARTS. I DO NOT USE THIS CAR DURING OUR SUMMERS BECAUSE OF OUR SEVERE HEAT AND REDICULOUS CONSTANT  SUNSHINE!  NEITHER OF THESE WILL PREVENT YOU FROM GOING TO CARSHOWS.

EXTRA PARTS INCLUDE 2 USED, (BUT SUITABLE FOR RECHROMING), BUMPERS.   EXTRA H/LITE SWITCH.  BE PREPARED TO TAKE THESE EXTRAS WITH YOU.   THE SALE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE NEW WHEELS AND TIRES, BUT, WILL INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL WHEELS,   PRISTINE HUBCAPS,   AND NEAR NEW SET OF TIRES. THE NEW WHEEL/TIRE PACKAGE CAN BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY FOR THEIR ACTUAL COST OF JUST UNDER $1600.  THE WHEELS ARE AMERICAN MAG,  MODEL "505',  THE TIRES ARE BFG RADIAL TA'S, 400 MILES ON THEM.  PLEASE BE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THIS BEFORE BIDDING. I VERY SINCERELY ASK YOU TO INSPECT THIS CAR----THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE-----IT IS NOT A FIXER-UPPER! TAKE A CHEAP FLIGHT, BUS SERVICE ALMOST TO MY DOOR.   PLEASE USE THE "CONTACT SELLER" FEATURE TO ASK ANY QUESTION. I AM RETIRED AND WILL ANSWER BACK ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WHEN POSSIBLE.  I CAN TAKE MORE PICTS IF NEEDED.  PLEASE NOTE, I AM HEARING IMPAIRED. EMAILS, TEXTS OR COMBINATION OF BOTH IS BEST,   CALLS----SPEAK UP WITH NO ACCENTS----NO HABLO ESPANOL---NO---NO---NO!

THIS CAR CAN BE DRIVEN HOME, BUT DUE TO WEATHER PATTERNS I WOULD SUGGEST AN ENCLOSED HAULER
