============================================================================

My Son bought this car 5 years ago as a restoration project that has since been abandon. He is now out of the country on military duty, and we're moving, so he's asked that we sell it on to a good home.

This is an original California sunroof car which was last restored in the early 1990's by the second owner. The body is very solid with only the surface rust and a minor paint bubbling in a few spots. The car was originally Polaris Silver, but was painted an off -white color which is pretty hazy and faded. However, it appears to have been professionally prepped when the car was restored, so it's held up remarkably well. The texture you may notice under the rear bumper is actually undercoating that the previous owner had applied when they re-sprayed the car. This has protected the undercarriage nicely, and the critical points (rockers, fenders, and shock towers) are all solid and rust free. Note the interior panels were replaced behind rear seat, package shelf, and front kick panels by a restoration shop that is known for their work with older cars. This was done to cover holes left behind by the massive sound system installation that the previous owner had put in the car.

The car starts easy and runs strong. The engine has good compression and makes great power, but does have a minor oil pan leak. In its current condition, the car could be used as a reliable daily driver as it sits. However, it’s in a condition that makes it worthy of investing in. It would not take much to get the minor problems corrected, and it would be a great candidate for a full original resto, or resto-mod.
