Unfortunately I have to sell my baby. We're losing our housing and its just better to let it go than pay storage for an indefinite amount of time. Its very mint condition, 82,882 miles original!! I bought it three years ago with 58k original and it had nylon bias ply tires on it... hadn't been run for 7 years so I did a complete mechanical rebuild from front to back

-factory 454/th400. Engine rebuilt with 049 heads, edelbrock intake, jet performance Qjet, Comp cams 218/224 cam, hooker super comp coated headers, dual 2.5" exhaust with H pipe and Flowmaster 70s. Quiet inside, mellow rumble outside. No expense spared; Speed Pro Hypereutectics, Fel Pro gaskets, ARP top to bottom, the works. About 18,000 on rebuild. Never dynoed but expect 380-400 hp at the crank. Eddings Engine in San Fernando did the work and its top notch. Driven cross country twice with NO problems. -th400 rebuilt with shift kit at the same time by Burbank Transmissions.
-Upholstery is perfect with no blemishes or flaws. I bought the car with 58,000 original on it and the previous owner had the seats covered with vinyl the day he bought the car, so the seats are perfect.
-Headliner is perfect
-carpet is excellent
-6 passenger, not 9
-NO cracks in the dash
-all new belts, hoses, radiator.
-A/C blows ice cold, new compressor, dryer, and new R12 last year.
-Tilt steering
-12-bolt rear, non-posi, fresh lube.
-15x8 rallye wheels, excellent 255/70-15 rubber.
-Every shock (including the rear air shocks), bushing, isolator, steering and chassis component from the pitman arm out was replaced last year. The suspension pieces were stripped and painted black
-All new weatherstripping
-I had a class 4 custom hitch fabricated for it that is installed. I also have a fixed-bar light duty hitch that came with it; either one or both is yours to have.
-every brake component except the hard lines and rotors/drums was replaced; calipers, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, hoses, pads, shoes, everything replaced last year.
-clear title, two-owner car, always desert, no rust.

Its like a time capsule. Its truly ready to be in a 1970s movie as-is. It also has a 40w TX CB with Wilson antenna that you can purchase with the car for an additional $150 or I can take it out. Its mounted using existing holes so it won't leave any traces.

An untimely move makes this tough but its gotta happen. I have more money than I can possibly fathom in this car. I lost count after $7000 but I know its only worth about $4000. It hurts. :(

These photos were taken when everything was squeaky clean. Its dirty now, but it still looks like this under the dirt :)
