I have owned this car since 1987.  It was in a minor accident many years ago, and unfortunately time and resources to repair it never materialized. It was my first car, as a senior in High School, so the car has sentimental value, but I have other priorities today. Thus on auction today.  I feel I am not placing the Starting Bid amount unreasonable.

 

Thank you for checking out my auction.  I had purchased a number of parts at the Mopar Nationals, and other sources, to repair the car.  So I would like to make a list of the other extra parts that are included in this auction.

List of Extra Parts:

(2)  Hoods, very straight and solid

(2) Doors, both left and right side with glass, and quite solid

(1) Front Grille, complete with head light doors and vacuum actuators

Another Grille, with metal frame and doors, but no actuators

(1) Left Fender

(1) Trunk Lid

(1) Front Bumper

 The Engine ran strong when it was in the car.  Years ago, it started having exhaust valve leakage on a few cylinders, so I had a machine shop recondition the cylinder heads.  Bronze Liners, hardened exhaust seat inserts, and good quality aftermarket stainless steel valves were installed.  It has a double-roller timing chain, with a lopey-lopey camshaft. The transmission should be probably be overhauled, just because it’s out.

 

I feel this is a solid project car.  The suspension attachment points to the uni-body frame are very solid.  I have taken a lot of pictures of the under-side of the car.  I can E-mail more pictures for you to view this car.  I have about a hundred on file.

 

In addition to the accident damage, I feel the car will need rear quarter panels, trunk panels, and some left floor panel/restructure work.  The roof top has some holes rusted through, repairs will need to made there as well. 

 

This car has a center shift console.  It was cracked and damaged on the rear part of the console.  It was shortened.  To be restored, it will need another console.

 

The front and rear seats were recovered at some point in time.  It was that way when I purchased the car.  It does not look original.

 

Thank you again for checking out my auction.  I hope this car can be a neat project for you, maybe even a unique first-car for your son, or maybe even your wife will let this car be your Christmas present.  This car is being sold As-Is, Where-Is, and no shipping is being offered. I will help loading the car and parts.  I have a loader tractor, or fork truck to load the engine onto your truck or trailer.  I am asking for a $500 Non-Refundable Deposit using PayPal or Bank Wire Transfer within 72 hours. Payment In-Full within 10 days by means of Cash or Bank Wire Transfer. Local Pick-up only, within 30 days.  If you have questions, you may call my cell phone.  (517) 206-1778  The car is Near Jackson, Michigan.
