BRIEF DESCRIPTION: this car has been in AZ for as long as we
can track it. I could find no rot on the cars body or underneath.
Very solid Az car. The Az heat and sun has taken its toll on rest
of the car of course. Its been parked for about 10 yrs now and
to get it running, we used a small fuel container under the hood
and bypassed the gas tank for now. It runs, and think I could say
it runs well enough to get on to a car hauler. Carb needs work
too of course. We also have it running off a low pressure electric
fuel pump for now too.
Trans feels okay, motor sounds good too for its age and how
long its been sitting.
Car needs a full resto, but it would be much easier then trying
to restore a rust bucket.
DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, apparently some people
who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules.
So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to
make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid.
Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!!
These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition
that are still affordable to most buyers.
DRIVETRAIN: this car has its factory 400 2v V8 motor and
3 spd auto and 10 bolt rear. Although very neglected looking, it runs
better then it may look. No weird noises but does smoke a little, prob just from
sitting it could clear up the more you drive it.
Its far from being restored, but should be usable as is making the restoration
much cheaper and easier.
INTERIOR: take a look at the pics, although it looks okay in the pics
the interior was redone about 15 yrs ago too. And its already very worn
looking from the AZ heat an sun. So expect to redo the full interior
in the future. Its all there at least. I can manually put the convertible top
up and down, not sure why its not getting power to the motor but the
frame is on good shape. Its very sun beat as you can tell, but again much
easier to fix then a rust bucket.
EXTERIOR:the body and and original sheetmetal on this car are in really
nice shape for their age. It had a repaint in the early 90s of the same color
but its pretty bad these days. The body is in very in very clean shape. All
the glass is good too and windows all work (except or the glass in the conv
top). Chrome is in pretty nice shape too .
SUSPENSION:the suspension looks very much original and tires are pretty
old
Nothing weird to report here, mostly all original but functional as is
The biggest issue is the RF wheel seems really loose like a worn out
wheel bearing, but not exactly sure. Id fix that before you take it on the
road. And check rest of the suspension too of course because of its age.
Tires are old.!

it may take a full minute for them all to load ifyou have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll
bar on the right side.

more infoAFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
There you have it, probably The BEST represented GMs on Ebay.
Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes. This is a very RUST FREE TRUE AZ CAR like most we have
sold over the years, and its still better then most out there for sale
or bondo-ed up to look restored. WE ARE LOCATED IN TUCSON
Its still so clean, If the car doesnt sell, Im okay with that too
because Id love to keep it its that nice.
Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.
Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. We show you as
much feasibly possible via pics.
Dont let auctions withlittle to no pics try to fool you.
If they cant take the time to take pics of areas under the car they
are selling, maybe its not the best car to buy long distance.
With other auctions, you really dont know what to expect
until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER
with great pics to help making your decision easier.
Along with ANY other questions you may have.
