24,230 actual miles, original survivor. 2 owners from the same
family then I bought this car in 2018 directly from the 2nd owner.
He bought it in 1999 from his deceased brother in law that bought
it new. I just bought it back from the gentleman we sold it to 7
years ago, he only put 120 miles on it! This is original, original,
original. One of the best body, paint and interiors I have ever
seen on an unrestored car!
EXTERIOR: Completely original paint and it's remarkably good. There
has been absolutely no rust or damage. No bubbles, no door dings.
It is completely original paint and it is in excellent condition.
You would have to look real hard to find even a tiny flaw. The
original bird and decals are very good. Glass is crystal clear.
Rubber bumpers and spoilers are not damaged. The jambs are
excellent original condition. The weatherstrips and window seals
are original, still soft in excellent shape. The 15x8 gold
snowflake wheels were added 22 years ago, very sharp looking. The
tires are much more recent.
INTERIOR: Amazingly clean interior. It is all original and
obviously super well cared for. Not only is the upholstery, door
panels, carpet new looking but the details are too. The plastic
trim is not faded or beat up. The instrument area is mint. The
machine turned bezel is mint, rally gauges look new. Never smoked
in, ashtray and lighter are unused. Headliner was replaced with a
correct one, they all drooped down. I'm sitting in the car right
now and I'm going to say it again- this interior is absolutely
immaculate, even the vents, steering wheel, knobs have no wear.
This interior could pass for 500 original miles, it's that well
cared for. Nothing is cut up, the factory AM-FM stereo is untouched
and back in the day they carefully added a vintage cassette deck in
a place it could be removed from. Interior lights work, glove box
lights up.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Completely original, it's never been spray
canned or altered. All the vacuum lines, wires, hoses are proper.
The shaker hood scoop and air cleaner is complete with proper
ductwork. The shaker hood scoop is complete and never drilled or
cut. Air conditioning system is complete. The motor is vin #
matched to the car.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Mint condition. The original space saver spare
has never been used, still has ink stamps on tread. The original
jack is in mint condition and still mounted in it's original
location, the base doesn't even have a mark on it. The metal is
pristine, still has original mat. The paint under the lid and on
the jamb is mint. Weatherstrip and jacking decal are mint. Original
weather strip still has part number on it, trunk light works. The
original speakers still have insulated covers.
UNDERSIDE: Original condition. The turbo 350 trans is vin # matched
to this car. The posi rear end is #s match. It appears to have the
original exhaust with catalytic converter and splitter tips.
Completely rock solid original metal. No rot at all, the factory
floors, seams, drain holes are all clean. Everything is in proper
condition as it left the factory.
I have seen many survivor cars and this is amongst the best
preserved I have seen. I believe everything claimed is true, you
are more than welcome to come inspect the car in person to see for
yourself. Go back to 1979!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
