Update 14 June 2016
Several potential buyers have called or left email questions about this car.
Most of the questions ask... does the car run and drive.
The answer is no. The car sat for a decade or more and when I recieved it, I cleaned the oil pan and replaced the oil. The engine is free and turns easily, but there is low compression on all cylinders. I suspect that there are stuck rings and potentially stuck valves. The head and valve panels have not been removed to confirm either condition. Correcting the compression problem will undoubtably allow the engine to start allowing the cat to be driven. Thank you for your interest.
Second round at auction - added pictures of the interior... there are no door or rear side panel cards. These are readily made from thin wood panel or uphostery wax board the rear seat has a canvas cover. The rust out at the left rear is external metal, There is a OEM used repair panel that comes with the car that has no rust out. The area above both rear wheel wells has been repaired in the past and it needs attention again. These areas can be repaired with flat sheet metal welded into the affected areas. The pictured Optima battery IS NOT part of the auction a conventioal lead acid 6 volt battery will be provided.
