-A prime example of Virgil Exner's "Forward Look". Massive tail fins. Rocket ship tail lights. Push-button, automatic transmission. -Power Steering and Power brakes -Great condition. 383 V8 engine runs strong. -Odometer reads approximately 87,500 (I believe this to be the true original mileage, based on the condition of the interior and the lack of pedal wear. -All-original interior in great shape. Almost perfect. Still has soft foam in the seats and a flawless padded dash. -Body and paint are nice--A few small dings and a couple of specks of rust. Some rust repair has been done in the trunk. -Chrome is nice. Some light oxidation speckling can be seen in the direct sun. -Everything works except for the gas gauge--likely the sending unit--and the rear license plate light. -Radio works perfectly -Comes with owner's manual, service manuals and a sales brochure.

So it was listed last December? Are you sure it's still available? It looks like a nice car for the price but I would have liked to see a pic of the rust repair in the trunk....

Maybe there should be a rule here that if you're going to post a "not mine" ad that there should be contact info INCLUDED with the pics and description of the car for sale. That means the phone number or email address of the seller needs to be POSTED HERE so there's no wild goose chase like having to go to another site like Facebook to contact the seller. (Some people here don't have Facebook accounts so what are they supposed to do?) It serves no useful purpose to post an ad here with no contact information so if you don't want to include the contact info please don't waste our time by posting the ad here....

That is actually an excellent idea that can assist the seller as well.  I believe one must be a Fecesbook member to be able to view ads posted their Marketplace, and there are several I know who have no desire to be members of it for personal reasons.

I'm not a Facebook member but I can click on the Forum link and see the ad, but I can't directly contact the seller. If I see something I like, I have a friend that's on Facebook contact the seller through Facebook and get me a contact phone number. Round about way but the Sellers have always been happy to oblige.

Is that supposed to be funny? How old are you-12? If you don't like Facebook don't use it. It's that simple....
