Seller's description:

Let me start by saying that I am NOT a car dealer. My father passed away 4 years ago and purchased 2 beautiful cars a few years before he died. Sadly he got very sick just after he purchased them and did not have much of a chance to enjoy either one. I sold one of them a few months ago on ebay and I am listing the second one now. This car was purchased and the CLEAR TEXAS TITLE is registered to my father signed and ready to go. Please note that we COULD NOT find the license plates given to him at the time of transfer and the Court houses have been closed so this car will come to you will the CALIFORNIA plates that he purchased it with though it IS registered to my father with a CLEAR TEXAS TITLE READY TO GO! He purchased this car for a small fortune from a California Car Dealer. I can say that when he purchased this car it needed nothing-I know that because I know the type of automobiles he purchased. THAT BEING SAID-This car has been sitting for nearly 5 years. It was towed from my fathers home STRAIT TO MY MECHANIC I HAVE THE RECEIPT. I spent over $1800 on the car last month. I would be happy to give any serious buyer the name and phone number to my mechanic if you would like to give him a call and ask about the car. He had it for a few weeks. He also had several people want to purchase the car but I opted to sell it on ebay in hopes of a better price. This car has a new battery-all oils and gas were changed. The transmission pan and fluid was replaced. Also had a $600 brake piece replaced. The car is beautiful. It DOES shake a bit when driving (the steering wheel)the mechanic was not certain if that was the tires from sitting-it may need an alignment-the tires may need to be rotated I am not positive. It may need more repairs-I did not leave it with the mechanic any longer. The a/c is fairly cold. I was able to turn it on and get it running-though it may need a checkup and some repairs-not perfect. The PIRELLI tires appear to be absolutely beautiful-thought THEY HAVE SAT FOR 5+ YEARS. The paint looks beautiful-there are a few minor scratches here and there and a few chips-nothing major. The leather interior is in superb condition for its age-NOT perfect but looks wonderful. The drivers seat has some wear but looks good. There is wear of course but nothing major at all. The carpeting looks lovely with original floor mats. All power seats work. The top works automatically but the car must be in neutral to open and close it. Has 2 soft tops as shown-THE TOPS ARE PRISTINE. UPON MY FATHER RECEIVING IT-IT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT THE ENTIRE 5 YEARS NEVER ONCE LEFT OUT EVER! This is a beautiful car-it needs someone with time. Yes, it may need some mechanical repairs from sitting. I have done my best to get it checked-cleaned and listed for my family. IT IS NOT PERFECT! Has a few issues in my opinion and needs just a little bit of TLC. It surely is a magnificent specimen I don't think I need to convince you on that. I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL AND FACTORY BOOKLET AT WELL AS THE CASSETTE THAT CAME WITH IT NEW.
