Rebuilt front end. New shocks, new tires, new top, new carpet. new interior. Rare dash top clock keeps great time and is the correct option with in-dash tach. Power steering and power front disc brakes. Manual top but I did buy the parts to convert to power including hard to find cylinder brackets. Over $10K in receipts. Runs and drives excellent, no issues with starting or cooling. Paint 3 Years old and looks great, minor blemish as shown. I don’t have any history on the car beyond the last 3 years. No rust, solid floors with minor repairs in the corners typical for convertibles. Drivers quarter panel was professionally replaced at some point.
This is a great looking and driving car. It has the right stance, drives straight and solid, no disappointments.
Starting price is the reserve price. Contact me for more information . Most cars need something and this one is no exception. So in the interest of full disclosure I have compiled a list of things that aren’t needed to enjoy the car but I would complete if I kept it longer: * I would install the power top parts. I talked to someone at a show recently that converted theirs and they said it was easy. I just haven’t had time. Parts come with the car * I bought a 2 speed wiper with washer pump and sprayer nozzles but never installed them. The 2 speed switch is installed as is a new switch harness. Parts come with the car * The spare is a universal rim, I never got around to buying a matching rim. I have a jack but never tried to use it. A good tire comes with the car as well as the universal rim, tire and jack . * There are no issues with the wiring but the under dash wiring is original so I would replace it someday if I kept the car just for peace of mind. The engine harness is new * The car is very straight but if I were to do anything body related I would replace the door hinges. This isn’t necessary but it would be on my list since they do have a little slop after 47 years. The drivers hinge detent cam is broken, a new hinge comes with the car . * The flywheel dust cover is missing. I never got around to installing one. Out of sight, out of mind. I never drive in water or dirt anyway. * The rear suspension squeaks when I go over speed bumps, I never got around to figuring out what that was. I had a squeak in the front but it went away after I replaced the sway bar bushings. There are anti-squeak pads for the rear coil springs, that might be the cause, or the bushings for the 4-link, but it never bothered me enough to pull everything apart . * The rubber seal for the trunk was the solid rubber type that is too thick and pushes the lid out of alignment. I never got around to buying the proper high quality seal. A minor thing. You can see it in the trunk photos * The speedometer still thinks the car has 14″ wheels, so it reads a little slow. I never got around to buying the correct drive gear * I bought new back-up lights but never got around to buying the reverse switch. None of these things NEED to be done and it’s probably only a weekend or 2 of relatively easy stuff, but it is all stuff you should know.
