@Oldiesfan23 – 1. Have engine and/or transmission ever been revised? If so, when? 2. The description says power windows - the pictures show cranks for the windows? 3. The car has PS and PB but no A/C - correct? 4. Is the power convertible top working properly? Thanks ...
The Engine and Transmission appear to have been gone through and repainted. That would have been done by the previous owner. The car has manual windows. The car does have Power Steering and Power Brakes. It does not have A/C. The power convertible top works great and the canvas is in amazing condition.

IAM interested because of the sentimental value for me and my wife. At 79 life’s flash by in an along the way when we first got married in 1970 I traded this same car for a trailer as a down payment. In the last 15 years, Iinterested because of the sentimental value for me and my wife. At 79 life‘s flash by in an along the way when we first got married in 1970 I traded this same car for a trailer as a down payment. In the last 15 years, I’ve collected a lot of silver and I’m liquidating it now. Consider silver as a future investment if you could look up silver values on Google you’ll find out what various types are and the fact that in 10 years it’ll be between four and $500 an ounce. There’s also a website I have that I followed for the last 20 years shows values predictions and they are usually pretty close. The reason silver is going up so much is because of the data centers and other tech my guess is by the end of the year it’ll be close to 100 or over. If you’re interested at all, let me know this is not fishing trip. this transaction could be done and you would know everything upfront from other parties that would get the silver from me to you long established companies.:)van

@RUSTY47 – How confident that the mileage is correct and hasn’t rolled over? The reason I asked is I had one of these back then and the gauge areas look beat up for the amount of mileage shown:)Van ...

@Riverrats – Hey! I’m currently working on the gas gauge and believe I can get it fixed. Just wanted to list it and be honest about its current condition. I could possibly have it fixed by tomorrow. Should be pretty straightforward. The car is turn key ready to go. Just drove my daughters to a father daughter dance and she drove beautifully. The previous owner passed away and was I bought the car. She really is a head turner! ...
Thanks very much

@Iraq2004 – Good morning—Was the fuel gauge unable to be fixed? What is the history of the vehicle if known? Is it turn key drivable as is or is additional work required? Thanks in advance— ...
