Well, for the past year this has been a great car!!!

About 3 weeks ago the motor locked up.  I can't find anyone who can work on the motor here and I really don't know how to fix it myself.  The body and the interier are in GREAT shape but the car will NOT run.   (new top, new interier & the radio/cd player work)

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions...

Thanks for your bid and consideration!!!

 

What else you should know...

The car is really dirty right now (it's being stored at a dirt lot due to the engine not running)

One of the tires does not match (could not find a match after a sidewall blowout)

I think the car has about 120K miles on it, the spedo was changed at somepoint.

A/C works sometimes... sometimes not (we always had the top down)

There is evidence of prior body work (if you know what your looking for you can see it)

This is NOT a new car... Please don't have unreal expectations for the price!!!

 Q: I am interested in the car, but why have you had to relist the car several times?
A: Thanks for asking! The first relist was after a buyer came to pick up the car and I guess expected the body of the car to be in new condition. Of course it is not... in fact that is why I have denoted prior body damage. ... Continue reading
