This vehicle was purchased in November of 2024 on Ebay from an estate in Southern California. It was purchased as a project to restore and we never got to it. It was driven off the trailer and has sat in that same location ever since. It starts with a jump but stalls. At times it is easy to get into gear. Other times, it can only be done with some difficulty with the shifter and there was some jiggling when the shifter is in the middle before engaging into a gear. This was the main issue when we purchased but we didn't have the time or patience to problem solve. It will need a trailer and is not reliable from sitting for a long time. We can put you in touch with the previous owner who was able to provide us with a stack of receipts on work that was performed.

The good. Its a California auto with good bones. Much of it is unmodified except at least for the stereo which was upgraded. Lots of records and receipts of maintenance performed so a good bit of history has been captured.

The bad. Haven't started it or ran it since December. Will need to be jumped. Will need a new battery and the shifting previously stated.

The house where it is being stored is being rented and the space is needed for tenants. Please only bid or offer if you are serious and can move the car within the next 14 days.
