This is a real nice car, not a Trailer Queen or show car, but a real nice driver to enjoy. The interior is near perfect with the only noticeable flaws being a split in the passenger seat and a cracked dash that has a carpet cover on it so it is not noticeable. A new windshield was just installed with new gasket and the rear glass was resealed with a new gasket. The interior has new carpet, sill cover plates, kick panels, pedal pads, trunk divider and package tray. The carpet was replaced due to being water stained and when it was removed there were three small rust holes found in the floor boards from the windshields leaking. They were repaired with a fiberglass repair product, Dynaglass. The headliner is original and in good condition. The instrument bezel is also new with nice shiny chrome. The car has sat for 10 years so some things deteriorated mechanically. I just replaced all the brake shoes, repacked the front wheel bearings, replaced the wheel cylinders, brake hoses, master cylinder, and five new radial tires. P The Air Conditioner has a new Drier, Expansion Valve, Discharge Hose, a fresh recharge of freon and "Blows Icicles". The heater and defroster also work well. It has a current Texas Safety Inspection with all lights, gauges, warning lights, horn, wipers, and back up lights operating correctly. After sitting for so long, the engine needed quite a few items replaced. The Fuel Tank was rusted inside along with the fuel sender, so I replaced them and flushed out the fuel line. The carburetor was rebuilt along with a complete tune up. A new battery was installed along with a new battery box and hold down. The engine oil and filter was replaced along with flushing the coolant system and installing new coolant, thermostat, and all heater and radiator hoses and heater shut off valve. The water pump and fuel pump were replaced due to them leaking. The engine had been rebuilt and has standard Mains and Rod Bearings. The transmission clutch assembly has been replaced. There were some engine oil leaks so the valve cover gasket, timing cover seal and gasket, timing chain, oil pan gasket and rear main oil seal were replaced. There are couple of "Bad " things about the car. The dash has been cut for an aftermarket radio at some time and currently has a radio block off plate covering the hole. The hole is able to hold most new style AM-FM CD Players. The original radio comes with the car and could be reinstalled by installing a dash repair plate that is available. There is some minor rusting at each rear wheel opening, should be an easy repair or just leave them alone and drive the car. The car starts up perfectly and runs and drives very nicely. The 6 cylinder engine has good acceleration and pulls the AC well. This is a car that would be great for a first car or to replace that one that you used to have. It is a car that you can feel confident getting in and driving anywhere without any worries of anything mechanical needing to be done.
