The Issues
She has been stored for over one year, mostly indoors, however there were mice which I believe got to the transmission wires or there is perhaps a bad sensor.
I feel that the brakes, although new drums and pads, need more work to counteract the forward motion. Something is amiss about the transmission fluid.
Buyer must do their own transportation from Warner Springs California
