I know I've posted this one here before but I am going to try once more. Trade was supposed to happen and it didn't, so I'll see what kind of interest it generates.
1980 Diplomat coupe
Slant six automatic
Brown exterior with matte black hood and lower doors
Tan cloth interior in good condition
New tune-up
Oil changes every 3000 miles, synthetic
Two new rear tires, two used but good front tires
New belts and hoses
New radiator, thermostat
Like new carburetor
All new brakes and hardware, master cylinder, booster, wheel cylinders. Could probably use brake lines soon
Fuel lines replaced with copper nickel
New fuel tank
New fuel filter
Gear oil recently changed
Could use rear wheel bearings, possibly u-joints.
There is a slight "rubbing" or "grinding" noise in the rear at low speed (<10mph)
Rear bumper has one spot rusted through
Frame rusted through, front driver's side, easily fixable (will try and get picture soon)
Other small minor issues, such as window seals, fresh air door handle broken, heater control broken (only blows hot)
No parking brake cables or hardware at all
Fuel gauge always reads 1/4 below actual fuel level
This is my daily driver. It gets me 19mpg and I drive it about 100 miles every day. Currently 92,000 on it but that will go up as I drive it. I'm always doing 80mph+ on my way to and from work and it drives straight.
If I keep it, the next thing I plan on doing is replacing rear wheel bearings, u-joints, repair the frame, and rebuild entire front end (steering and suspension) with mostly Firm Feel products.
Asking $2600 and I am open to trades
Thanks,
Russell
