Description:

that is mechanically all original and is a numbers matching car.
The Vehicle Identification Number is 4H25T565779 and the mileage on the car is 99, 130 miles.
My wife and I purchased this car in April 2007 and we have owned the car for the past 10 years. The car has been driven less than 4000 miles since we purchased it. We’ve driven the car on a regular basis (Sat/Sun afternoon cruises) between May and Oct and it has never been driven or parked in bad weather. The car has always been garaged with a cover and prepped each fall for winter storage.
BODY
The red paint is in good condition with only a few minor scratches or chips. The body panels are all original. Moldings are all in nice shape only showing minimal wear and tear for a car of this age. Bumpers are in nice shape with no rust. The power convertible top functions perfectly. The top is in good condition except for a small tear located on the drivers rear side of the top (please see pictures).
INTERIOR
The seats, door panels, carpet and dash trim are in crushed white vinyl with red trim. The windows, seat belts, radio, heater, lights, horn, gauges, and other interior options are in good working condition.
ENGINE / DRIVE-TRAIN
This car has its original in-line 200 CID six cylinder engine with a single barrel carburetor and a two speed automatic transmission. The wheels and tires are 14 x 5 inch 195/75R/14 Firestone FR380 radial tires (with matching spare tire).
Upgrades performed by me to the car include:
Stainless Steel Brake Company (SSBC) Front Disc Brake System using original 4 bolt wheel rotors. Kit also included a dual circuit master brake cylinder
Factory Power Steering System
Harrison AM/FM Cassette player with stereo speaker system. Dual speakers mounted in the original speaker location on the front dash and two speakers mounted in the front left and right kick panels
The car is currently registered in the state of Massachusetts State and has a valid State Inspection sticker for 2017.
This White over Red Convertible is in very good condition and can be driven anywhere. Absolutely nothing is required to begin enjoying this classic convertible.
This car is being sold due to health issues and general downsizing due to pending retirement.
Additional pictures will be provided upon request.
