I finally got the deal I've been waiting for. A friend of a friend told me about this car so yesterday I went to see her. Well, according to the invoices the owner has replaced or had rebuilt all the major concerns. Due to a coolant leak the intake manifold gaskets were replaced last month. New supercharger and harmonic balancer last year. Many thousands of $$$ spent in the last few years keeping this car in top shape.
The only things I can find wrong are minor. AC needs to be recharged, was tested for leaks but the shop could not contact owner for permission to charge it up. He was pissed about that. Appears that plug wires are original. That will be recified soon. One of the trunk lid springs is broken, that soon will be fixed I hope.
The old guy I bought it from is the second owner, the first owner died 6 months after buying the car. He told me he paid $27,000 for it in 1994. He sold it to me for $1,ooo. Reason he gave me for selling is that his back don't like bending that far down to get in and out of the car. OK, sounds reasonable he is 86 years old.
Tomorrow will be spent washing and waxing her before I take some better pictures. Then I get to swap out some of the parts I've been keeping on ice.
