Not an A, but considering buying it.
I'm the owner of the car being discussed and I thought I should elaborate a few details that clementine was unaware of...
As I am sure you all know these cars we enjoy don't come up too often. When they do they come up they are usually on the other side of the country, total projects or trailer queens that you would be afraid to drive to the Walmart. I was looking for a nice daily and found this one three hours away. The price was high but I figured I could make a deal. I was dismayed when I got there and found that I was dealing with a flipper.
This is a one owner car. I was under the impression that it was an original paint car. It was not. 95,000 original miles and still wears the original plates. I was told that the car was ordered this way. Golden Commando! Factory HP 361 4bbl dual exhaust. A745 manual trans attached to a Sure Grip w/ 3:55 gears. Headliner, door panels and package tray are as nice as one would expect from a 60 year old car. Original trunk mat and wheel well inserts are still intact. Dash pad shows wear from the second gear shift knuckle impact. Prior to the auction the family had the fuel system flushed and new fuel pump installed. The brake system completely redone and was converted to DOT4.
I made an offer that I was comfortable with and thought was reasonable and he accepted. 6 grand.
I drove it home the three hours without a hitch. I went through and replaced the plugs, air filter, oil/filter and new valve cover gaskets. Installed a period correct oil pressure gauge. Upon inspection I found that the dash wiring needed to be replaced. I installed that and added a solid state voltage regulator. Additionally I went to the Les Schwabb and had two wheels powder coated and four new tires installed. So, lets just round up and call it a grand out of my pocket.
Bold pricing? At my loss?
Car is available. Fly and drive! PM me.
