NC-car-guy Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 I'm tapped until next year, but I'll go look (only 30 min away). If anyone is interested, I can report back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC-car-guy Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 I just got off the phone with the guy, very nice 30+ minute conversation. He apologized for not having more photos. He has two folks coming to look at lunch time. If they don't buy, I'm booked to go look at 4pm. It has the 350, 4bbl and was his daily driver for 25 years. 3-5 years ago he stopped daily driving due to expense in fuel and the power windows stopped working. He said he's retired and disabled and no longer able to work on cars the way he used to. He said the seat is sprung, but it had been since he bought it in the early 80s. The engine was rebuilt in the 80s and then got a new crank and bearings in 1999. He says he continued to start and drive the car weekly to keep it alive, but last year the radiator started leaking, so now he adds water, starts and yard drives it until warm. He says the floors and rockers have some rust but nothing bad. Top works. odometer stopped in the early 2000's at 105,000 he guesses there's probably 7-10k more miles on it. He said he's firm on price and wants it to get a good home that can get it back on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 $1500 for a convertible that runs, drives, is complete, and has a good top, is a give-away! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC-car-guy Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 He said if purchased, he would allow the buyer to bring and install a radiator there so they could drive it home! HA HA HA HA again, I am done buying for the year but if it all checks out, anyone who may want it can store it at my place. I just hope it doesn't end up a donk (big rims, thumping stereo, tvs in the dash, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC-car-guy Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Leaving work now according to my GPS it's an hour drive. He did say one guy said he was coming back for it but had not left any money so it was still for sale. Are there any particular problem areas to this year model that I should pay extra attention to Edited July 13, 2017 by wndsofchng06 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC-car-guy Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Car is originally cream color. Both rear quarter panels are filled with Bondo and coming apart below the middle the lip for the trunk seal nearest the latch Point has rust it will need floorboards and a trunk pan the top goes halfway down then stalls then you have to let go of the switch and then go again and it will go the rest of the way down there's a bad rust spot on the upper driver side section of the hood the air conditioning compressor has been removed but all other AC components are still intact the driver side seat back is sprung and has a block of wood that helps it stay straight most concerning where the back to body mounts under the trunk pan that were rusted out. Frame looks straight. Car started up and ran well I took two videos which I'll post later he said the transmission was rebuilt in 85. it yard drove went and followed in reverse. Dash has no cracks! The back driver side bumper did get hit at one point and is bent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
