CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER
This classic with 390 V8 engine is basically original, is registered, titled, insured and Mass state inspected. It is not the "special" landau. I have driven it only in good weather and it has been garaged. Unfortunately I know nothing about its ownership history. I bought it from a "middleman" and the prior owner did not respond to my inquires. I have tweeked and tuned it over the past 5 years, but frankly it need more work and I am unable to do it. I would not call any issues serious enough to prevent driving. Some of the issues are electric windows, seat, and gauges( motor/gear/switches). It has a couple of minor"drips" under the engine, and a mystery, but minor brake fluid leak. The gas tank sensor connection(gasket?) appears to drip- leak after adding 8 gallons+-, but stops as level lowers. It is cranky on first, cold start, but responds to start fluid and is OK after warm-up. I think it is the electric choke on rebuilt carb(which is 2bbl). or not getting full 12v off alternator connection. You have to hold the shift lever in Park while cranking engine. I think the safety switch on steering column is loose. Clock looks original, but does not work. I have yet to drain the transmission or rear end. I think the pad under the vinyl top roof is deteriorating, but I sealed all around ; but I have never driven car in the rain? I did a floor repair job in the trunk, on rustout, put in some sheet metal, sealed it all up and cleaned the original floor cover; looks good. Does have spare tire. Rear wheel "skirts"(great shape) are in trunk. I bought a replacement for the missing bumper jack and stand. This car has great potential, but needs a younger, motivated buyer. It has 37,843 miles on the odometer. I also think it has been repainted, awhile back. Yes it does have some minor, non serious, body rusting, due to aging. It is local pick-up or you can make your own transportation arrangements. Recent LOF, (HMN oil). Has an electronic module in distributor. Driver door has been apart, but could not drop the window to get at non functioning motor; but I have a new small window crank. I replaced a couple of window switches in console cluster. I have manuals to aid repairs and original ops. man; and misc. spare parts. Car has new fuel pump, start solenoid, battery cut-off switch. Also replaced belts, dist. cap and rotor, coil and 2 front tires. Things like brakes,power steering,W/S wipers,hub caps,radiator, rear sequencer, exhaust, cooling system(needs new sensor),radio,front air vents, all OK. I have never used the heating system. I will consider reasonable offers. Running out of "gab".
