Hi! I decided to go over and watch the Flyers game at my parents house last night, so I got some pictures of the car for you. I still intend to go over this weekend and see if we can get him started up- my dad is charging the battery for me and hopefully Saturday we can get it kicked up and going.
Here is what I can tell you about it without starting it up.
The Good:
Power doors and locks
Upholstery is in great condition especially considering the age- just needs a good cleaning (except visors which were threadbare while I was driving it, but ceiling it tip top!)
You can see on the interior doors that all the original "woodwork" is in place
A clearcoat was put on about 6 years ago that got rid of that Chrysler fade that happens to most of them
Engine was replaced with one with 30k miles on it before I stopped driving it
2 new axles were put on at that time as well and haven't been driven on yet
The not so good:
There are no rear brakes on it right now- they seized up and were taken off to prepare for new ones to go on, but never got there.
There is a rust spot in the back as pictured- But, this is the ONLY problem with the body
It has not been inspected or registered since '04. We did try to get it inspected that year, but failed because of the issue with the brakes.
Rear-view mirror fell off sometime this year and glass broke. (Should be replaceable cheaply from a u-pull-it)
Since it has been sitting, I'm sure that it will need new tires as well.
Anyone who is interested in the car will have to tow it to their location as it is not legal as it is and I suppose you couldn't really drive it without brakes
I put quite a bit of love into the car before we got a new one. I was constantly filling in missing parts with parts from the pull-it places and really kept on on maintenance. I got very nostaligiac cleaning it up and wish I had the time and money for him...I put about $1K into it in the months before we got a new car and just couldn't put anymore in.
I'll give an update after we do the start this weekend, but wanted to get this up just to see if you have any interest. I just couldn't bear the thought of someone killing the car (crushing for scrap), so I hope that either you on someone on here will be interested or be able to point me in the direction of someone who will have the time for it and love it.
