THIS CAR CAME TO ME IN AN UNCLAIMED STORAGE PURCHASE. It's being sold AS-IS, for parts or repair, with a bill of sale only. It's NOT ready for the road, and will need a good going-through and repairs if you are going to actually use it for transportation. You'll also have to do something about a title. Please see "About the Title" section below for more details about the special title situation with this vehicle.
This car has sat in a storage unit for a few years, probably since 2005 judging by the license tags. It's very dirty, very neglected, and needs help in several areas. It was NOT my own personal vehicle, so all of my description is based on walking around the car and spending a few minutes with it. I can't give any history or details on it's past, obviously.
If you are considering bidding, please look over the photos carefully and note details... it's impossible for me to mention every imperfection about any car, especially this one. Small things like broken or missing light lenses, oxidation spots, missing trim and such are all visible in my photos... and they will be that way when you come to pick it up, too. If anything's unclear or you need more information or another picture, just ask.
The outside of the car seems complete, but it has a cracked windshield, some rust as the photos show, and a general look of neglect. The tires hold air but that's about as much good as I can say about them. I had a locksmith make an ignition key, but I have no other keys for this vehicle.
The interior is well-worn and needs just about everything cleaned, repaired or redone, although it is complete. The upholstery is worn, there are cracks in the dash, the carpet is torn and missing large pieces. The turn signal stalk is broken off and laying on the dash in the photos. The headliner is ok and the dash electrical seems to work, like lights, gauges, wipers, blower, etc. There are some parts in the trunk.
I jump started the car and it does run... and it did limp around the parking lot here at my business. The V-8 engine runs very rough, though... and the brakes are very bad. It goes forward and reverse. I let it idle for about 20 minutes near the dumpster while I threw away the previous owner's beer cans, get-rich-quick books, adult magazines, used clothes, and other crap that was left inside.
If you need parts or if you are brave enough to take on a project, this might be ideal for you.
ABOUT PAYING AND PICKING UP THE VEHICLE: This is located in Anaheim, California... near Disneyland. Please pay and pick up within SEVEN DAYS of winning the bid. You may pay with cash when you pick it up or electronically beforehand. I do not accept checks nor money orders of any type. I can meet you for pickup most any day.
ABOUT THE TITLE: This was sold to me with a complete and proper set of lien sale documents, giving me the right to take title. THOSE DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN LOST! If this car was worth very much, I would simply file for new lien sale paperwork, and wait the 3 or 4 months that process takes. Since the car has a limited value, I'm not going to go through all that, and I'll sell the car with a BILL OF SALE from me to you only. What you do with the car and the title is up to you, but that's all I'm providing... a handwritten BILL OF SALE ONLY. If you need more paperwork than that or are not comfortable buying a car under these terms and conditions, do not bid. If you buy the car and try to act surprised when I have no title, I won't believe you.
ABOUT THE PRICE: The vehicle is offered for auction with a cheap opening price, and no reserve. I don't want to trade for something you already have. There is NO Buy-it-Now price, and I won't end the auction early even if you write and ask me to do it anyway. Really, I won't.
ABOUT BIDDING: Bidders with zero or very low feedback scores MUST EMAIL US when bidding to verify your bid... or your bid will automatically be removed. There are too many new users on Ebay who don't understand this listing costs time and money... for example, this listing was $56 in Ebay fees to start it and then I'll pay a percentage of the sales price at the end, too. As a way of screening out deadbeat bidders, you must have a Paypal account to bid on this car... you do not have to pay with Paypal; it's just a screening process.
PLEASE BE SURE to have your finances in order before bidding. Ask your wife first, check your job stability, keep your children off the computer, call your mother and make sure she's healthy, don't drink and bid... I've heard it all already. We take a lot of time and effort to describe things properly and honestly... and we take your Ebay bid seriously, just as we take our obligation for an honest description seriously.
QUESTIONS? Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. ALL the questions I receive and my answers will be posted right here on the bottom of this page for all the world to see, so everyone has the same information about the vehicle... you may want to keep this in mind when you ask your questions. Real questions I have had in the past such as "Can I buy just some parts?", "Can I drive this to New York?", "Is this used?" or "Do you want to trade for a street lamp?" have entertained many people.
