Re: Should I Make the Trade?

What do you guys think of this one. Great price, $8,500.

I spoke with the owner and he said he got it from the "le may family car collection" he got it through a auction a couple years ago. This is what he said about the car....

" runs and drives like it should came from the le may family car collection in dry storage since 1975 completely gone through with new fuel system with new carburetor and fuel pump, brake system new wheel cylinders and master cylinder rebuilt heads, new battery everything works"

Although he said everything works you guys have taught me to DIG DEEP! So heres what I found out through talking with him a couple times on the phone and texts.

1. The carbuerator on the car is a rebuilt 4barrel. He thinks the accelerator pump is bad because the guy who sold it to him had it sitting on the shelf for a couple years. It will come with original carb and rebuild kit.Said it runs fine just thought I should know.

2. The radio does not work

3. The torsion leveling system does not seem to work. I had him do the test where you make sure it is on and sit in the trunk. He is 230lbs and he said it did nothing. Is repairing this expensive and difficult?

4. He thinks there may have been damage on the rear panel and repainted but isnt sure.

He said he thinks the interior is original, is this even possible for how the rest of the car looks? The only thing that has me think it is original is the fact the carpet wasnt replaced. He also color sanded it. What do you guys think? I would probably just ship it web eventhough a drive down the coast with the family would be fun! Like always, thank you for all of your help I appreciate it!
