Buyer is responsible for shipping or local pick up is available. Car must be paid in full before it's taken. Bank check is acceptable but must clear before car is taken as well.Note: Bumpers had surface rust on top of bumpers so I applied air egress chrome vinyl wrap to them. They look good and nobody has noticed it at cruise nights but as a buyer you should know what you're getting. It drips here and there. Typical for the age, nothing major so I place a drip pan under the engine area. This is a good driver that you can enjoy daily and if you wanted to do a complete restoration you would be hard pressed to find a better candidate. Heater works but the AC hasn't been charged so it does not work. It may need seals or a fitting or just a freon charge. Since it isn't driven daily I didn't feel the need to investigate the AC. Small "bubble" on bottom of the drivers side between door and rear wheel noted in photo above. No other areas that I know of.
