Several interested bidders
have asked for photos of the underside of the car. The below
photographs were taken on April 6, 2007 and show several areas of
concern. The worst part is on the passenger side frame rail and sheet
metal. We would not describe this as severe corrosion, however, this
is one area that will require restoration.
-
The body shows liberal use
of Bondo and evidence of older, poorly made repairs.
-
The front end received
some type of a blow and there is visible sheet metal damage in the
valance underneath the front bumper and spoiler. There was also a
moderate blow to the oil pan as shown.
-
The front suspension needs
to be repaired and several arms replaced altogether that are deformed.
The shock absorbers are worn out. The passenger side is worse than the
driver's side. The car cannot be driven safely until this is done.
-
As represented earlier,
this is a restoration type project. The car has some weak areas
obviously and is not recommended for somebody that expects to have a
car that they can begin driving and enjoying immediately, without some
work. If you are not mechanically inclined and have to pay retail for
repairs, this may not be a good car for you to consider. In the hands
of an expert mechanic/bodyman, this car could end up being something
special.
-
Rust can be seen on the
bottoms of the doors.
-
The glove box doesn't
latch.
-
The emergency brake
doesn't work.
-
The stereo doesn't work.
-
The shifter needs
adjustment or repair.
-
Some of the trim has
pitting.
-
We continue to recommend
that you personally inspect this car and satisfy yourself as to what
you are purchasing. The trunk does not open and we are unable to
describe the condition of it. We apologize for this.

Please feel free to call
us if you should have any questions or comments.
