Original California car. Restored by previous owner around 2000. Daily driver from 2001 – 2006 in the South and Midwest. Rarely driven since 2006. Odometer reads 147,922, but it is currently broken. Roughly, there are about 160,000 – 170,000 miles. Electronic fuel injection, which is working good. Custom AC (created by 1800 specialist in SF bay area) installed in 2003. Auxiliary electric fan for AC. Electronic distributor. Manual transmission with overdrive. Stereo/CD Player/XM Radio with detachable faceplate and 4 speakers (front two have separate tweeters). Mid-range speakers in front need new covers. Radio currently isn’t working, but the mechanic believes it just needs a new fuse.


Runs good and maintained by a classic car specialist. A few things don’t currently work, such as clock and odometer. AC is currently leaking. I am not a mechanic, so it’s best if you talked to my mechanic about any technical details and working condition.


Body is rusted and needs restoration. See photos. If it wasn’t, I’d be asking $10k – $20k. Do not waste both of our time trying to low-ball me. At some point, it’s worth far more for me to keep it. And if I did want to sell it cheap, I’d just go to a local dealer.


Interior is in good shape. The top dash is cracked, but replacements are available. Front seats are in good shape. Back seat is faded with a couple minor tears on top edge. Interior roof is in good shape.


Let me know what else you want to know. If I can’t answer, I’ll forward you to my mechanic. Let me know if you want to see additional photos or video. Sometimes I can get extremely busy with work or go out of town, so I may not respond immediately. Please be patient.

It goes without saying it’s sold as is. Buyer is responsible for pick up or delivery. Car and title are not transferred until payment has been cleared/verified.
