For Sale: 1976 Aston Martin V8 in Carey, Illinois

This is a 1976 Aston Martin V8 ~ Series III finished in DC red with cream leather interior. We know little to nothing about these cars with the only thing we have in common being the fact she is English. We came to have the car under an unusual set of circumstances which we are happy to share separately. The car is being offered for sale with a clear title on an as-is basis. This Aston Martin was originally from Texas and somehow found its way to Saudi Arabia around the late 1980s. It went up for auction in 2024 and in late that year, she returned to the USA She does start, idles, moves forward & backwards and stops. But only limited to our parking lot. We have not looked at any mechanical or operational aspects of the car. The car was repainted at some point and the quality of work is rather good. The colour is a very "shocking red". If you like the colour, there is nothing to do but touch up a few scratches, buff, polish her and you are good to go. The body and underside is rust-free. Brightwork, glass, lenses and fitments are pretty good. The interior, on the other hand, looks like it was the home of an Alsation. It is sun damaged, with the leather ripped and torn, the carpet more than thread-bare and the headliner pretty much gone. It needs to be completely redone. But everything seems to be there. The odometer shows some 53,000 miles, but who really knows. This is the sort of car that would suit an Aston Martin enthusiast looking for a project. It would not need to be a "major restoration" given that she already starts and runs but you would want to go through all her mechanicals. Of course, the interior needs more than "just a refresh". Please reach out with any questions you have and inspections are invited.
