Hello - This is a rock solid car that is ready to enjoy immediately, drive anywhere, free of any concerns.  Absolutely zero mechanical issues and everything works great.

The car starts, runs, drives, turns, stops, handles...without flaw and recently completed a 530 mile trip without a whimper.

A/C is ice cold, ALL power options work perfectly:

• Both windows go up and down quickly including the mini-vent windows
• Same for all six directions for both seats
• Power door locks are immediate and strong
• Intermittent wipers work as new, so does the washer fluid pump, squirters
• Headlight doors open and close smoothly
• AM/FM/8-track radio is 100% functional including the 8-track player (actually sounds good!)
• Still has the correct tri-axial power antenna that works with the factory CB radio, and it operates smoothly
• Horn and cruise controls, all check
• Turn signals, brake lights, hi/low beams, all good
• Even the clock keeps perfect time

Tires are fairly new with less than 4000 miles.  Also new shocks, transmission rebuild, tune-up, battery and ignition module....much more.   Receipts for all new parts and professional maintenance and service over past 3 years add up to the asking price of $4750.

Paint on the car is a ten footer.  It still shines very nicely but has several touch-ups, scratches, couple door dings, etc...that are easy to see on close inspection.  I say drive it and enjoy as is, but if you want to show it or must have new looking paint, it would have to be done and the car is certainly worthy of it.   The only tiny specs of rust visible anywhere are in the lower left corner of the rear bumper, shown in a close-up.   No signs of collision or rust damage elsewhere.   The original Coach Roof vinyl top is perfect.

Interior shows wear and separated seams in the very lower outer corner of the driver's seat, but this is repairable, no tears, holes, etc.   The interior otherwise is excellent; carpets, original floor mats, headliner, door panels, etc..all beautiful. 

Engine compartment and undercarriage are also solid;  again, not new or show quality, but very very nice - I'd say better than average driver quality.

I am advertising in several places, will end the auction immediately if it sells locally.  We are located in Menasha, WI which is about 1.5 hour north of Milwaukee.   I have plenty more pictures; please call me at 920-205-1295 to have them sent to you.   I will happily accommodate any personal inspection of the car, and in fact strongly prefer it.   There are several services available that will do this for a reasonable fee, or maybe try to find a forum member or similar to come for a test drive.   I will drive up to an hour or so to help make this happen for you.   I've never sold a car on ebay before, always preferring to deal in person  -  I want you to be happy with the car!   Any questions, requests for more pictures, will be answered quickly.   Working on a video to post online also - have been frustrated with this so far, but still trying...

Motor on,

Perry
