33,900 mile, 9 passenger Fleetwood. I am thoroughly impressed with
the original qualities of this car. Comes with documentation and
maintenance records going as far back as 1979. I am also excited
about this car, and it seems like everyone else here at Volo is
too. It's different. Great for entertaining friends and family
going to dinners, parties, sports events etc.
EXTERIOR: Look down the 21 ft long sides and it is laser straight.
All the body panels and trim fit like new. Doors shut like a new
car. It reflects whatever is next to it like a mirror. Clean, dry
body with only 1 exterior repaint. Beautiful slate green metallic
color with a clear coat that has been polished like glass. It even
feels slick. Door jambs are original and super clean, the original
color was more gray. The chrome and stainless trim is in amazing
original condition. The chrome bumpers, tail lights, emblems, door
handles are in excellent shape. Stainless moldings and trim are
real straight and shiny. The grill is mint. The original hubcaps
are in very nice shape. Original weatherstrips are in good
condition. All the glass is original including the windshield. No
ugly vinyl top. Has unique air inlets forward of the trunk for the
trunk mounted air conditioning system. It's a handsome car.
INTERIOR: In my opinion the interior is extremely well cared for
and certainly supports the 33,900 actual miles. It appears to be
original from carpet to the headliner. In back it has carpeted
folding footrests with chrome hardware and fold out jump seats. It
also has rear climate controls in the armrest. The rear a/c vents
are in the roof. Factory seat belts practically look new. The
interior lights all work. The upholstery is excellent, not worn,
torn or stained. Door panels are very, very nice. The wood grain
trim is still pristine. The chrome throughout the inside is mint
I've even looked in most the ashtrays and they don't even look
used. I do believe the carpet is still the original and in very
good shape. Upfront has a 6-way power seat, Am-Fm radio and a
stereo hidden in the glovebox. The whole dash area is excellent.
The chrome sparkles, lenses are clear.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The big 429 motor runs as quiet as a mouse in
slippers. It really is so smooth you can barely hear it or feel it.
The engine compartment is an excellent example of very well
preserved original. Everything looks proper, tidy and very clean.
The fiberglass heater box has never been painted over, all the
wiring and vacuum lines are still run neatly. Has power steering,
brakes, air conditioning and tri-note horn.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Has a vacuum power trunk release. The entire
trunk compartment is still boxed and lined in gray cloth and
carpet. Spare tire has matching cover on it.
UNDERSIDE: Very clean preserved condition. Has insignificant
surface rust, no flaky or rotten metal. It is clean, rock solid
original metal. Even the inner rockers, body mounts and drain plugs
on the inner quarters are clean. New balljoints, misc bushings and
shocks. Has air shocks in back. Brake hoses and blenders look
recent. Muffler and tailpipe is recent. Chassis components are
clean. Bottom of the motor and trans are clean. Had original turbo
400 automatic. Not caked in grease, not rotten, looks like a well
cared for low mile car.
I am not saying this is perfect like a brand new restoration. I am
saying it appears to be in outstanding original condition. I see
many restored cars, I dont see many originals this good. It
functions as good as it looks too. Rare collectible car that you
can have fun with.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
