The car is finished in Silver Mist Poly with black vinyl top.

The condition of the paint and trim are spotless.

The car was repainted in 2016, a decision that was made

by the executor of the late owner's will.

It simply there was not enough paint to work with.

The paint job is a two stage paint job,

doors were not removed, as they did not need to.

Door jams are still the original color.

There is no corrosion anywhere inside or underneath the car.

/span>

Stock rallye wheels were mounted with 235/70R 15 tires in

2016.

All center caps are present.

/span>

The stock black vinyl interior features factory air

conditioning, an AM radio, power antenna,

rear window heat, windshield washers and

a completely removable aftermarket

stereo system.

/span>

The Pioneer DEH-S6000BS Bluetooth head unit

is cleverly mounted under the dash inside

an oem Buick Tissue dispenser. The rear seat houses

a Pioneer TS-A690R 6x9 in the stock location

and custom made kick pods house a set of 6.5"

Rockford Fosgate Punch P1650. In the truck,

there is a Pioneer TS-SWX2502 Subwoofer,

all powered by a 5 channel PPI Trax5.200D

amplifier with a 2 Farhad capacitor.

/span>

The carpet was cleaned and the steering wheel

shows signs of stress cracks. The power window motors

have been removed, cleaned, re-greased and re-installed.

/span>

Factory instrumentation includes a five-digit odometer

showing 85,602 actual miles, approximately

1600 of which have been added by me.

The air conditioning system has not been converted

to R134a refrigerant, the compressor works,

however the system still uses the R12 refrigerant.

I work around an Airline schedule, I will be more than happy

to answer any questions you might have,

I will assist in shipping anyway I can.

She has been good to me, have lots of good memories together,

but traveling for me takes more time now

than previously expected... No corrosion whatsoever,

no hesitation, no sputtering, no noises,

everything works, lights, clock, heater,

A/C compressor turns on, spare tire is brand new.

Very well documented, very presentable,

has never been abused.

I did the best I could to describe her in the most

neutral way possible, without offering any opinion.

You will be the judge. I am very transparent,

everything is fully documented, other than the stereo

installation, everything else is bone stock and original

to the car. Pretty amazing, if you ask me.

Again, this is a

NO RESERVE auction.

Numbers matching car.

Good Luck!
