GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this excellent car for your consideration. Finished in classic Papyrus White this car is classy and eye catching. The body is very straight with no major dents or imp...erfections. The chrome and rubber trim is fully intact and in pretty good shape. Just a minor bit of pitting in some of the chrome. Overall the car is excellent but there is a little bit of rust beginning to form on the edge of the hood and bottom of the fenders. Steel wheels with color matched hubcaps are original and look very cool. The interior is very nice as well. The black MBtex faux leather is in excellent shape with no tears or stains. The dash is excellent as well apart from a piece of wood trim at the edge of the window that has begun to lose its veneer. The headliner is in great shape as well. The car is equipped with power windows power locks updated Sony stereo and climate control. Mechanically this car is in great shape the 2.8L straight 6cyl runs very smoothly and has a decent amount of power. It was said that it produced around 160hp and could hit a top speed of around 120mph. The 4 speed automatic was very advanced for its time and still shifts smoothly today. Everything appears to be working as it should and the car drives down the road very well.
