WE ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE FROM AN ESTATE IN SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE IT SPENT ALL ITS LIFE. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CAR OTHER THAN WHAT WE HAVE LISTED HERE.

THE CAR HAS A DRIVER QUALITY PAINT THAT LOOKS EXCELLENT FROM 10' AWAY BUT AS YOU GET CLOSER, THERE ARE SOME IMPERFECTIONS. HOWEVER, THE CAR SHOWS VERY WELL. MOST BRIGHT WORKS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION WITH BUMPERS HAVING SOME LIGHT PITTING.THE INTERIOR WAS COMPLETELY RE-DONE AND LOOKS GREAT. THE CAR STARTS IMMEDIATELY EVERY TIME. THE ORIGINAL 34, V8 ENGINE IDLES SMOOTH, RUNS COOL, AND PERFORMS WELL. THE ENGINE DOES NOT SMOKE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WELL AND THE BRAKES AND SUSPENSION FUNCTION PROPERLY. WE HAVE A CLEAR SOUTH CAROLINA TITLE FOR THE CAR. PLEASE READ THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION BELOW AND VIEW THE 75 HIGH QUALITY IMAGES BEFORE BIDDING.

THE SHUT LINES ARE GREAT. THE DRIVER QUALITY PAINT LOOKS GREAT FROM 10' AWAY BUT AS YOU GET CLOSER YOU WILL SEE SOME SMALL IMPERFECTIONS, TINY CHIPS, ETC. NO MAJOR DINGS OR DENTS. THE BODY PANELS, INNER AND OUTER SILLS, ORIGINAL FLOOR PANS, INNER FENDERS, AND THE FRAME (SEE PHOTOS). THERE ARE A FEW SMALL BUBBLES UNDERNEATH THE VINYL TOP TOWARDS THE REAR, SIDES AND SOME NEAR THE WINDSHIELD. WE THINK THAT THE SIDE AND HOOD STRIPES ARE CUSTOM. MOST BRIGHT WORK ARE IN GREAT CONDITION. THE BUMPERS HAVE SOME LIGHT PITTING BUT VERY PRESENTABLE. THE LIGHT LENSES AND ALL GLASS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL HUBCAPS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION. THE CAR RIDES VERY SMOOTH ON A SET OF TIRES WITH ABOUT 705 TREAD LEFT.

THE STEERING WHEEL AND DASH BEZEL ARE IN GREAT ORIGINAL CONDITION. MECHANICAL: THE ENGINE STARTS IMMEDIATELY EVERY TIME. IT RUNS SMOOTH, IDLES GREAT, RUNS COOL, AND PERFORMS WELL. IT DOES NOT SMOKE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GOOD. THERE IS SOME AMOUNT OF FLUID UNDER THE CAR WHEN IT IS PARKED FOR EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME. WE JUST HAD THE CAR ON THE LIFT AND SPRAYED PARTS CLEANER TO THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION TO INVESTIGATE THE LEAK(S). IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A LEAK FROM A SMALL 1/4" FITTING GOING TO THE RIGHT REAR SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION ( LIKE A RETURN TUBE?), EASY FIX. ALSO, THE WE SAW A FEW DROPS OF RED FLUID BELOW THE POWER STEERING PUMP.THE LEAKS NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED BY THE NEW OWNER. THE BRAKES AND SUSPENSION PERFORM WELL. I PERSONALLY DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 8 MILES LAST WEEK. IT RUNS AND DRIVES VERY SMOOTH. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS. THE ODOMETER SHOWS 09323 MILES. WE ASSUME IT HAD FLIPPED OVER ONE TIME AND THE CAR HAS 109,323 MILES ELECTRICAL: THE HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, BRAKE LIGHTS WORK. FUEL GAUGE, RADIO, A/C DO NOT WORK. WE THINK IT MAY BE FUSES OR BAD CONTACTS. THE NEW OWNER MUST SORT THEM OUT. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS VERY NICE AND CLEAN. TRUNK: THE TRUNK FLOOR IS VERY SOLID ( SEE PHOTOS) AND HOUSES THE SPARE TIRE. ****GENERAL DISCLOSURES, PAYMENT, AND SHIPPING: WE HAVE TRIED TO DESCRIBE A 51 YEAR OLD VEHICLE TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY AND PROVIDED 75 HIGH QUALITY IMAGES.
