This is my baby! I've had her for over 10 years, garaged the whole time, was a cross between a daily driver and a weekend car for 7 of those years, then the clutch died and it was winter, I stored her, and then never got around to fixing the clutch. Life has other priorities and I can't let her sit anymore. I originally bought her on eBay from a guy in texas, this car is pristine, no body rot, some minor rust but nothing a good sanding and a new paint job won't fix, the car is ready to go, you COULD in theory driver her away, but the clutch needs replacing, the power steering hose has a crack, and probably needs new wires and plugs. But she starts up just fine. I had a transmission guy look at it to get her up and running, quoted me $1,800 including the install of the original radio. I CAN set you up with this guy and have him do the work ahead of time if you want to fly in and drive her home or something, or have a shipping company come I guess, I've never sold a car on eBay just bought one, I flew to Texas, and bought the car there after seeing how great the shape of the car was. At this point there's a patina on the paint, it can be buffed out and shined. The long story short about the paint job is that when I originally got the car, it had the rear louvers which I thought were unattractive, I took the bolts out as soon as I got it home and it immediately started SNOWING, like as I had taken the last bolt off. I noticed that the paint under the louvers had been worn away and the metal was exposed, SO in a panic I grabbed the only color paint I had, a blue color and just sprayed the spots where the bolts had been, just so she would't rust. The rest of the paint was fine at the time and I drove the car for years like that, I just never got around to it, SO there's some blue paint on the back hatch. I know, silly, but I was a kid then, and after a while I forgot they were even there. The front hood is so impressive no one ever see's the hatch haha. Hey I'm an honest guy, this is the car, it's worth a LOT restored, I could probably sink $3,000 into it with a paint job and sell it for $8,000 easy, but I don't have the extra cash, so your lucky day! Feel free to ask any questions, come on by, the car is in my garage under a car cover safe and sound waiting for you.
