I purchased this car to make it a nice daily driver. It is a fully loaded car with power brakes. power steering. power windows. power antenna. power seat and factory air. I worked on it for two years and an illness in the family forced me to stop. I started working on it again in 2013 and now it is 95 percent finished with just a few minor fixes. I can no longer work on this car because of my age and health. mostly age.   About the car. I rebuilt the engine and had the transmission rebuilt by a transmission shop. All of the rest of the work was done by myself. New brakes. including wheel cylinders and hoses. new dual exhaust system. new shocks. new power antenna. all new flat glass and windshield. all new weather stripping. Gas tank was removed . leaned. and sealed and a new sending unit installed . all new hoses. including water. vacuum. and fuel. 90 percent of the chrome has been re chromed and a new headliner installed.    Every switch on this car was disassembled and cleaned.   All new bulbs were installed.   New duct hoses. new speakers . new coil . There were only two bad spots on this car. one a quarter size hole in the rear door frame dogleg. which I welded and the spare wheel well was completely rusted out. I removed the wheel well. made a new one from fiber glass. installed it and glassed the entire trunk floor. I did a very good job.   I painted this car myself and although it is not a six thousand dollar paint job. it is pretty and all it needs is maybe fine sanding and buffing to make it perfect. This was not a frame off restoration by a professional but I think you will be satisfied with this car.

Those were the pros. now the cons. The carburetor need to be rebuilt. the engine runs but shuts off after about two minutes.  the generator does not show charge(new regulator) the gas gauge does not work and the AC pump is not installed. The AC evaporator is missing but I have all of the other parts to install the factory air. This car has never been on the road since I did the work. The engine has about three hours run time on it.   I have tried to list the good and the bad.   I will be happy to answer any questions. A $1000 non refundable deposit is required at the end of the auction and the balance due in cash within seven days of the close of auction. Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping. I can not help. Thank You
