Up for Auction: I wont end it early, sorry.
DRIVETRAIN: under the hood is the original BB 455 4v
with factory AC / PS and PB. It starts and runs with the key
but not yet road ready. Gas tank was dropped and cleaned as
where the fuel lines etc after sitting for many yrs. Starts and
drives, but pretty sure the carb is next at the very least to
be looked at. Its leaking around the top gasket, if I can Im
going to replace that this week. Dr side valve cover leaks really
bad too. Im also going to try to replace that too this week.
BUT its a great start for someones project. The AC compressor
is new (and maybe updated to R134. Not sure if they charged
it yet etc. Not tried it. Someone installed the SO WRONG radiator
for some odd reason, its functional for now, but the original one
is in the trunk and comes with the car. It needs to be cleaned out
and put back in to be correct. Original air cleaner base is missing.
The auto trans works fine, but may have a small leak
somewhere. The power brakes feel okay, but prob should be bled too.
TIRES are new! Ive driven it around the block, see video too,
but its not yet road ready. The engine smokes when cold running rich, and after it gets warmed up, I did see some blue smoke too. Think I
saw some blowby too from the valve cover.
Check out the video link !
Lots of new parts on this car !! If I can get the leaks fixed
this week, Id say it would be okay to drive onto a car hauler with
little to no issues.
INTERIOR: take a look at pics its mostly complete, but
dry and showing its age. No rust of rot on the floors.
Mild rust in the trunk. FIX the mechanics and interior, and drive it just
that way would be fun ! and not break the bank. Much of the rubber, vinyl and plastics has seen better days. Surprisingly the white
interior is not hard and crunchy. Its dirty, yes. I think the carpet
was recently replaced too. Dash is cracked yes, ..its Az. Not recall
if the pw work or not. Some really OLD window tint is falling off
and making the glass look bad. Clean off all the old tint and it
would look so much cleaner overall. Well loaded like most luxury
cars where back in the day.
SEE ALL 100+ PICS below
EXTERIOR: you are looking at at least one repaint, over the
original color done yrs ago. A very Rare factory color combo too.
The body is very lazer straight for its age where I only noticed
body work done on the RR quarter, but its not bad. See video.
Chrome is in pretty amazing shape for its age too.
So the paint is showing its age but if Im pretty sure its savable
with a cut and buff. The old school enamel paint would come
back to life. Original half vinyl top was removed years ago.
Mild rust around the opera windows. Comes with all 4 matching
correct wheel covers (only 2 shown in the pics) but all 4 will
be loose in the trunk with the spare.
SEE PICS AND VIDEO !! Glass I think
was all good and windows currently work.
SUSPENSION: the suspension looks pretty much like the way
it came from the factory and complete. Does have some
new springs I believe up front or rear. And some new shocks
too I believe. Tires are brand new.But glides down the road okay
and didnt hear any weird noises
. Stock as a rock with about 63k miles on the odometer.
Not sure if its rolled over or not.
