If so, they will be on my YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq0TZfprOhDCDrkKVB2ywdg= = = = NOTES = = = =[1] Note about Air Conditioning... it was removed by a prior owner and there is no compressor. I have no parts, but my mechanic's assessment is that it should just need the compressor and connections. I noted there is an AC Delco (Part 1520515) which sells for $185 on Rock Auto. A qualified mechanic should be able to put the system back into operation.[2] I have discounted this listing to reflect that the convertible top needs to be replaced. As a buyer, you have three options (possibly more). One option is to buy "AS IS" and operate the car without raising the top. Another option is to replace the rear glass and work around the mechanical issues. Another option is to completely replace the top.Out of an abundance of caution, I have discounted this auction by $2,400 off the original asking price. I have a professional estimate for a full top replacement (window + top) from Restoration & Repair Inc. in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Their estimate is just under $2,400 for the full project. A glass-only replacement was $1,180.You are buying this car "AS IS" and prior to bidding, please read the following information and send me a Question if you have any doubts whatsoever.Once the auction concludes, I will have no involvement whatsoever with the convertible top. While I can provide the paperwork on the estimate I received, I am not offering to help coordinate the repair, communicate with potential repair shops, or handle any aspect of the convertible top. I will simply provide you the information I have in my possession, which is the estimate sheet from R&R and their contact information.If you have any doubts on the convertible top, please DO NOT BID prior to sending me a question using the eBay messaging service.Bids withdrawn or winning auction bidders who do not follow-through on the purchase due to the convertible top issues or other issues I've described in the listing will receive negative feedback, so please proceed accordingly. |
