The car has been off the road since the late 1990's. Engine oil and coolant were drained at that time. The engine is not damaged but it has not been turned over since being put away. There is substantial rust on this car. Several of the pictures show it. I can provide more if interested. Don't think this is a rust free gem. It is not. That being said, this is a really cool car that is worthy of a full restoration.
The tires are dry rotted but do hold air. Most of the missing chrome trim is in the trunk. There is no warranty on this vehicle. It is being sold as is.
Local pickup only. The buyer is responsible for pickup and transporting of the vehicle. The vehicle is not in running condition.
