Notes:
Runs, will move, transmission is leaking (I'm guessing a line or dipstick tube because
it's coming from the passenger side). This does not have the Teletouch shifter, it
is a regular column shift (I'm told one of 700). Carb needs cleaning, rebuilt motor
2 years ago and has only been parked since. Picture is current. Last registered
and driven 2004. Tires were purchased new in 2004 and are still like new except a
little fading of the ww. The brake linings as well as the lines were replaced along
with a rebuilt master/brake booster and all front end bushings. Good restorable
condition. Rust on one rear quarter, front fender battery box, and it needs a heater
core. Paint is not original and is faded, chrome is stainless steel and most is really
good, interior needs some work; seat torn, dashpad has come apart, carpet faded, 2 or 3 small
tears/holes in headliner. I have over 5k invested but lost storage, time, money, etc.
