Note; The last three pictures show somesmall bubbleson the drivers front door down low, the drivers rear door down low, and the rear of the passengers door / front of rear quarter panel. It is very minor but still there. This is the only rust we can find anywhere in the car. There is also some light "pitting" on the rear trunk panel, door handles, and rear view mirror as these are original unrestored pieces.The floors, trunk, etc... are all original showing noissues of any kind. I have several pictures of the bottom of the car that I can send upon request.
The car has had an Independent 3rd party inspection doneby Ted Shlachter of the Lemon Squad paid for by a potential purchaser.Here is the E-Mail copy that was sent tothe potential client and forwarded to me;
Overall, vehicle is in excellent condition and has been kept up from its inception and has been restored with care. It is possible that vehicle was in Canada at one point in it's life, as the driver's vent window has a sticker saying "Canadian Classics"
Most of the undercarriage has been undercoated. The inner hood has also been undercoated. No apparent motor, transmission or rear-end leaks, U-Joints are tight, exhaust system is solid and virtually rust free. Only issue is the gas tank has a small dent.
Paint is in great condition. Some paint nicks and imperfections were found and 2 small areas of clear coat runs. Color change from white to blue is not detectable. The paint around some of the lettering on the hood is cracked. There is some very minor rust and paint bubbling as noted in the pictures. There is some paint over spray between the rubber seals and the body. There is a paint chip just above the door lock on the right door.
Interior is also in great condition, All upholstery appears to be brand new, and the seats have new foam inside. Steering wheel has NO cracks. There is some pitting on the center console near the shift lever.
Windows roll up and down very smoothly. Glass is perfect, no cracks or stone chips. There are a couple of light scratches on the driver’s window.
The interior and trunk carpet are in excellent condition.
The chrome is in very good condition. Some pitting is apparent on the grille and the molding at the rear of the trunk and light rust is noted at the license plate lights. A small amount of pitting is noted on some chrome areas. Door handles and Side View mirror have a small amount of pitting.
Vehicle started right up. Motor and Transmission operate normally. Motor is strong and solid, it has significant power, runs smooth, no abnormal noises. Powerglide Transmission shifts and downshifts perfectly. Exhaust system is perfect. No issues noted in suspension. Brakes were good and responsive. Pedal distance had NO slack. Vehicle drives straight does not shake, shimmy or vibrate, there are NO rattles. All fluids are clean, levels are correct. Brake master was not opened. Fuel Filter is new. Belts and hoses are in good condition
Steering is tight (for this age vehicle).
Aftermarket items include a gauge cluster and CD changer which both work normally.
Convertible top appears brand new and is in perfect shape. It opens, closes, and locks without any problems. Rear plastic window is clear.
Doors open and close perfectly.
Odometer does NOT operate; however, speedometer operates and seems to be accurate. All idiot lights work, Factory Clock and Radio do NOT operate.
Both Front and Rear Bumpers are mis-aligned, there is about a ½ inch space difference horizontally between the Driver’s and Passenger’s side where it meets the metal valance.
There are aftermarket chrome wheels in excellent condition. No curb rash. Front tires are in fair condition, and are a different size compared to the rear. Rear tires are in very good condition.
The passenger and driver side Inner Panels by the rear windows are aligned differently. Overall decent. See below and pics for more info.
