This car runs and drives great. A lot of mechanical work has been done to it in the last year to keep it in great shape including a new radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, spark plugs, master cylinder, brake pads, struts, new BF Goodrich tires, and more. Powertrain appears original and still starts up and drives strong every time. It is currently leak free and rust free except for the typical exhaust surface rust (see underbody pictures). The exterior is in great shape as you can see including the wheels and tires. The interior has been refinished with new seat upholstery and a permanent molded dash cover. T-Tops are in great shape with no water leaks from anywhere. All the accessories except the dash clock work including the cruise control, power windows, power mirrors, and A/C as of last summer. I have a folder that comes with the car full of service records from the previous owner going all the way back to the original dealer invoice in 1981.
Imperfections it has:
There are a couple small imperfections in the exterior and interior finishes and I do not claim this a showroom condition vehicle. The radio works great but the rear speakers will come in with static popping and poor sound so I would say it needs some new speakers. The RPM gauge will occasionally stick at 1000 RPM when the car is off but reads perfectly fine when the car is running (as the pictures show it isn't acting up at the moment). Lastly this car has its original Bosch fuel injection system. It will idle low and unsteady for 1-2 minutes when started up dead cold and clear up and be perfectly fine after a little warm up. I have tested or replaced every component in the cold start system and everything is good. I am of the opinion this is just a normal characteristic and a limitation of the 1981 computer but am listing it anyway.
This is a 40 year old vintage z-series car that is in better condition than most of them I have ever seen. With that said, 40 year old vehicles will develop problems, they will need work done to them even if you just worked on it yesterday, and they will never be perfect in case you don’t know this already.
THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY AND NO PROMISES. THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD WITH A BILL OF SALE ONLY. I do have a title in the stack of previously mentioned records that comes with the car but it is not valid for me in GA. Vehicles 1986 MY and older do not require a title in the state of GA.
MAKE AN OFFER. Just not a ridiculous one.
Cash only means cash only. If you can get a cashier’s check you can get cash. If you can write a personal check you can get cash. If you can buy gift cards or whatever other scam you can come up with you can get cash…
