I picked this up from a man in south Georgia last week. Here is what he told me: the car was driven regularly until several years ago when it was parked and not driven again. So it has been parked for several years. He told me that the engine and transmission (Powerglide) were running fine before the vehicle was parked. What I have observed is the following: upon tilting the car upwards when putting it on the tow truck old gasoline spilled out from under the gas tank area. So, the gas tank or a related part probably has a leak. The bottom of both right side doors is rusted out. So the passenger doors need to be rebuilt or replaced. There is no battery in the car. The engine compartment and spare tire/trunk area seem to be fairly clean/low on rust for such an old car. According to the man I bought it from, one of the previous owners put some type of sealant around the trunk area which seems to have kept excessive moisture from getting to the spare tire/trunk area. There are several other parts on the car which will likely have cosmetic or mechanical issues due to the age of the vehicle and the fact that it has been sitting for so long. The bottom line is this: this car needs to be completely refurbished mechanically and cosmetically or just used for parts. I have had the car less than a week and know almost nothing about its history. There is no title; I will issue you a bill of sale. The mileage is unknown. This vehicle is sold AS-IS. I can not warrant the operational or cosmetic condition of any single item on the car.

Please read this passage carefully: The total price of the car is $1500. there is an immediate deposit of $500 due via paypal in order to end the auction. After that, you will have 31 calendar days to pick up the car and pay the remaining $1000 in cash. Most sellers give 7 or 14 days. In fact, eBay doesn't even have a drop-down selection longer than 14 days for the balance to be paid in full. I am giving you 31 calendar days from the time of the deposit. If the car is not picked up in 31 days, the deposit is forfeited and will not be refunded. Let me be clear: if the car is not picked up in 31 days the deposit will be foreited in full and the car will be resold to someone else. I am not going to refund the deposit for any reason. If you have a death in the family, a major financial catastrophe or any other type of incident in your life which prevents you from paying the $1000 balance I am very sorry but it will not cause me to refund the deposit. So, please do not use Buy-it-Now and issue the $500 deposit until you are confident that you can pick up the car and pay the remaining balance of $1000 within 31 calendar days. I am sorry that the policy has to be so rigid but I have sold many cars on eBay over the years and all too often people do not follow through and I am stuck with lost time, lost opportunities and lost listing fees. So this policy is intended to make sure that doesn't happen.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
