I've owned this car for several years and it breaks my heart, but I have to sell it. It runs well and I think it could be a presentable drive with a little more work. These cars are known for their rust, but this one is very very solid having lived most of its life in the high desert. It has one small spot at the bottom of the passenger side fender. (I can take a picture) All the rest of the underside looks really clean. Original 3.8 motor. Clean title in my name.

The car is complete and I have bought a pair of tail lights for it that are in great shape as well as a driver mirror. The fuel pumps and carburetors have been professionally rebuilt, as well as the master brake cylinder. The fuel filter, ignition coil, cap, rotor, plugs and wires have all been replaced. I have a spare set of points and a condenser for it as well. Car starts up quickly and runs pretty smoothly. Car also shifts into gear well and seems to want to drive (doesn't stall out or struggle to run). All the glass is clear and un cracked. bench seat leather interior is in presentable shape overall. There are a few cracks on the top part of the back seat and some wear on the front one. Steering wheel is in nice shape with the original leather wrap. Most electrics work (Except for fuel gauge, but the tanks are out of the car), has a headlight out. Front two tires have been replaced, all hold air well (tubes are ok) and are uncracked (back to are the original style tires), there is a spare rim as well, but it will need a tube and tire. Suspension and steering seem like they are in good shape. If you like the car but want the body work done, i was thinking about taking it to a shop to have the work done, but I'd want a little more for the car after that was taken care of. IF you really like the car, email me and we can work something out.

In my opinion, to make it a good driver it needs:

Exhaust will need some attention
Transmission pan leaks a little (Have the gasket for it)
Valve covers leak slightly
Wood will need to be redone (have all the pieces, should you need patterns)
Weatherstripping for doors as well as front and rear windscreens need to be replaced
Rotors need to be turned
Gas tanks could be refurbished, but they might be ok as is
Minor damage on corner repaired, minor surface rust on roof taken care of and car primered.
