Vehicle Description

2,614 miles since body off frame custom build. It is a classy beast! The look, colors and especially the interior is 1st class. The big block motor is the beast, especially when you open the exhaust dumps!

EXTERIOR: Rare handyman 2 door wagon with a 2-piece tailgate. The body is in excellent shape. It is straight, no rust or damage. Striking Cortez silver paint has a glossy finish. All of the chrome and stainless trim looks new or restored. It has factory antenna, door handle guards and dual mirrors. New windshield, tinted glass. 17 inch Foose chrome wheels are wrapped with performance tires. The tires still have nubs on the tread. Custom taillights with LED bulbs and a 3rd light.

The metal trim is smooth and glossy. Billet trim across the dash, armrests, sill plates and pedals. Digital gauges light up red. It has a custom lower panel for the a/c vents. Custom console gives you cup holders, billet power window switches, a/c controls and a Lokar shifter. Chrome tilt column with a sharp looking wheel. The rear seat folds flat. New headliner and visors. Bright red carpet and reproduction mats on the floor. It has a stereo system with kick panel speakers and 6x9s in back.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The tailgates function properly and easily. Inside is carpeted, weatherstrips were replaced. The floor lifts up to access the spare tire. There is a hidden kill switch too.

In back it has coil over shocks, tubular traction bars, replaced leaf springs and bushings. Upgraded brake system with drilled and slotted disc at all 4 wheels. The e-brake assembly is hooked up. Custom dual exhaust goes all the way out back but has some electric dumps if you want to rattle the windows. The fuel system was replaced including the tank. It has a frame electric pump and filter, premium fittings and stainless braided hose. Looking up at the motor it has a welded extra capacity oil pan and a high torque starter. The trans is a 700R-4 overdrive automatic with a remote oil cooler. The floors are rust free clean metal painted with Por-15. The frame was reattached with new bushings.

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. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
