Austin America (1969)
for sale
Price: US $3,800.00
Price: US $3,800.00
HELLO ALL. Gmbidding is proud to announce the sale of a very
special car that I personally own. This is not being sold for a friend, the
neighbor, or the friend of the neighbor. This car is not being sold locally and will
not end early. It will end in 7 days. My name is on the title. You will have
the opportunity if you are the high bidder to own the great 1969 Austin America
1300 automatic transmission. Very regrettable sale as I just purchased the
finest one owner Jaguar xj6 series II in the country. You missed the Jag, but
you can own one of the finest Austin Americas left. Supposedly only about 100
of these cars exist in the US and mine is one of the better one.
“Yea Baby” has less than 47, 000 original miles. No rust or
wrecks. Pleasure driven only!! Garaged and covered. I believe the transmission
was overhauled as I have old clutch discs. Superb running and driving with
quite, no smoke engine. Custom new and quiet exhaust system. New Falken tire.
New brakes. Superb suspension with correct automatic leveling. Paint is good
but not perfect. I spent $250 for a professional buff and wax. I have waxed the
car frequently using only Meguiars products. People at the gas station and grocery
store ALWAYS tell me “it looks like new” so you get the point. This car not
only makes people smile but they actually laugh! Could this car bring world
peace?!?!? True story- a lady next to me
at the gas station walked around the Austin and then said “I’d like to marry
you!”
Interior is mostly original with great upholstery and door
panel. Carpet, I believe is original. Some old water stains on headliner above
doors. Original radio with 2 speaker system.
I only use Castrol oils with frequent oil changes. I have a
good supply of NOS oil filters which are rare and out of production. I
purchased the dealer option “Flying A” hubcaps from England. They are mint-NOS.
The “Austin” badge is also from England and from a 1920’s Austin car.
Smooth and tight handling car. Car tracks straight down highway. No suspension leaks. Some oil
dribbling from transmission cover bolts. No clunking suspension. An easy and
cheap car to maintain. New SU electronic fuel pump. All gauges work. Turn
signals work. Very happy to answer any and all questions.
PLEASE, serious enthusiasts only. Nice cars like this should
always be shipped. There are a lot of professional, dependable shippers. I will
be there with the shipper upon pick-up, $500 non-refundable deposit due within
48 hours. My friendly professional credit union will assist you with wire
transfer.
