Opening bid $5,000 reserve not met, no bids yet, 9 days left in auction.

Sellers description:
History: Purchased vehicle in Massachusettes from 2nd owner in 1987 with current mileage. Car has been stored inside a barn since purchase. Was hoping to restore at some point but obviously time has gotten away from me. Looking for a purchchaser that would give the car the restoration that it deserves.

The Vehicle: This car is original, never restored. At time of purchase car ran fine with no mechanical problems to the drivetrain or running gear. The body panels are in solid shape (no rust) and are complete however the floorboards do have some rust issues that were there when car was purchased in 87. This was due to a damaged rear window that the previous owner neglected to repair. The trunk is solid as is the battery area under the hood. The left rear quarter was damaged at some point in its past and was repaired but due to age the repair has failed. The chrome is all there but due to the time in storage it shows its age as does the paint. The oil pan needs to have a former repair addressed again due to age. The front exhaust header is cracked due to shipping when purchased but comes with a replacement. Air conditioning is not installed in car but is included in sale. As far as I can tell the only thing missing from the car is the right rear tail lens, left front parking lens as well as the front marker lenses. The car rides on wire wheels as well as the tires that were on it when purchased and it has a spare rim but no spare tire. The car even comes with documentation as well as the original owners manual.

Interior: The interior is complete. The instrumentation is all there and was functioning when put away. The seats show their age but are ok. The glass is all ok and the windows operate fine. The top functions perfectly but the fabric obviously needs help.
