History:

This car was garaged with a blown head gasket about 15 years ago. A good friend of mine purchased this car 2 years ago with intent to restore the car completely, s it is an extremely solid original survivor car. He proceeded with restoration (see descriptionlist below), nd got the car to running/driving condition. Few months down the road his job moved him 2 hours away. He bought a new house, ife got in the way, nd the car sat at my shop for the past year. He has lost interest in the project, nd I can no longer store the car, ence the sale.

-The original engine was found to have water in cylinders and was seized from sitting. It was removed and discarded. Correct 2.5L W114 replacement engine was sourced and fitted. The engine has been rebuilt, nd had uknown miles. Compression check revealed 150PSI across all cylinders, nd the engine is excellent, uns and sounds great, o smoke at all.

-Original carburetors were acid dipped and rebuilt with new needle valves, dle screws and all gaskets.

-New alternator has been fitted.

-Radiator was serviced at a radiator shop (car holds steady temperature at 175* in all driving conditions)

-Transmission is original 4-speed automatic with floor shift, s in great condition, pshifts and downshifts as designed. New filter and flushed with new fluid.

-Brakes are 4 wheel discs, ork fine. Master cylinder is a little soft from lack of use, o replacement is included.

-New ball-joints in the front suspension.

-Tires are areplacement set of Dunlops 195/70-14 with plenty of tread, old air, alanced and ready to go. Spare is non-original.

-AC compressor was removed during engine swap, ut is included.

-All gauges work

-All lights work,

-Pass. front window works. Driver front window goes down, ut not up. Rear power windows do not respond. (Spare set of 3 window motors and regulators are included!)

-Body of the car is very straight, ppears to have original paint in decent condition, ut multiple scratches are present. There are few shallow dents in the hood and pass front fender top. There's virtually no rust. The only place is bubbling under rear bumper on the left side of the car. That is it!

-All glass is in excellent condition.

-All chrome and stainless trim is in good to excellent condition.

-Original interior is fantastic, o tears. Original carpets are in good condition. Dashboard is perfect, o cracks. Map pockets are missing. Headliner has a tear.

To sum it up, ou are buying a nice original car needing attention to be a good daily driver, r suitablecandidate for a show restore.Since it's been sitting, t could use a minor tune-up and a final carburetor adjustment. Electric windows will need attention.

The carfires right up, ut currently doesn't idle well when cold. Once warmed up, ou can drive away. You could probably drive it home.

I have described the vehicle to the best of my abilities. If you have any questions, will do my best to answer them.

Please only bid if you are genuinely interested and are able to complete the transaction as per auction terms. Thank you
