Other than the few faults described below, the car is in amazing condition. I bought it at an estate sale, had a brake line replaced, added a new battery, a full tank of ethanol-free gas, checked/topped all fluid levels, and cleaned it up with a waterless hand wash. I have put a couple hundred miles on it without a single issue. It drives like a dream on the highway and on backroads. Someone from the estate at which I bought it said the family owned it for about 3 years and drove it on average once a month. They also said the person they bought it from owned it for many many years.
It is not quite a show car, but it’s close! Overall it’s in great shape. It is currently titled as an antique vehicle in Pennsylvania (you can see the plate in photo) and if you reside in PA and buy the car, I’d be happy to transfer the plate with the car.
The car is an absolute joy to drive – quiet, smooth, and like many who know these cars say, rides like a sofa on wheels. The car is BIG, about 19.5 feet long. Please do your research if you’ve never driven this type of car – it’s not a race car that will shoot you from a red light and corner like it’s on rails – it is a slower, very comfortable highway cruiser with lots of lean/roll (and squealing tires) if you take a curve too fast.
I describe all faults below. I have provided photos of as much as I could, including faults. Please ask any questions, as I want to be as transparent as possible.
Please note that I did not professionally detail the car;and I did not steam clean the engine. So you’re seeing the car in “every day”shape. I only used a “waterless” wash spray to wipe it down.

Here are the only faults I can find on the car (I tried todocument these in photos if possible):

EXTERIOR:

A few small nicks, dings and chips that should be expectedwith a car this age. I am not a body guy so I can’t say for sure if this car’spaint is original, but I cannot find any clear signs of a re-paint. The paintlooks great (still shines). If there was a re-paint somewhere on the car, theydid a great job. There are only a few spots of VERY MINOR surface rust – no rotor holes. The ½ vinyl top is also in great shape –no rips or tears. That top isprobably original. It could just use a more thorough cleaning than I gave it. Thecorners of the rear chrome bumpers do have some cracks and some rust aroundthem – this can be seen a bit in the rear view photo.

INTERIOR:

Some wear on steering wheel center bar near the cruisecontrol buttons – see photo. Passenger button for ashtray on door is missing(see photo). As far as I can tell, everything else works EXCEPT the clock! Afew very minor nicks in the leather seats – overall they are in great shape.See the photos. Headliner is perfect – see photo.

MECHANICAL:

One leaky brake line has been replaced. Antifreeze is muddy in color - I have not had it flushed or professionally investigated - it may be some corrosion or oil. There must be a slow vacuum leaksomewhere for the hidden headlights, because if the car sits overnight, theheadlight doors open up. Once the car starts up, they close and stay closed(unless of course you turn on the headlights). All headlight bulbs are workingexcept one, which you would need to replace. The air conditioning is temperamentaland sometimes blows, sometimes doesn\'t.

Those are all the faults I could find.If you are local (I’m located about 40 minutes south ofLancaster, PA), you are more than welcome to come see the car in person (BEFOREyou make an offer/buy, please). If you drive it, I’m sure you’ll make an offer or bidon it! Alternatively, I’d be happy to drive the car to a local-to-me mechanicof your choice to have them check it out (BEFORE you make an offer/buy, please). I doreserve the right to end the auction early if I sell the car locally.

As confident as I am in this car, the logistics and cost ofshipping/return prevent any type of refund, so the car is sold as-is with nowarranty or guarantee or return.

I would be happy to help ship this car anywhere in the world(I sold my last classic car here on eBay to a nice gentleman in Austria!) atthe buyer’s expense. I know how much these cars are loved outside the U.S… Butin all cases funds must clear my bank before I will let the car leave mypossession.
