BEING RE-LISTED, THIS TIME BECAUSE OF A BOGUS BIDDER, (HINES_TARAX16, SUPPOSEDLY FROM THE UK.), WHO USED THE, "BUY IT NOW", OPTION THEN SENT ME A MESSAGE STATING THAT HE WAS INTENDING TO PAY WITH CASHIER'S CHECK, BUT WANTED TO SEND ADDITIONAL MONIES AS A PART OF THE CHECK THAT HE THEN WANTED ME TO CASH AND REMIT THE EXTRA MONIES TO HIM SO HE COULD SUPPOSEDLY PAY FOR THE SHIPPING. ONE OF THE OLDEST SCAMS OUT THERE! I RECIEVED WORD FROM E-BAY THIS MORNING IN THE FORM OF AN ALERT STATING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO VERIFY ANY OF THE BILLING/SHIPPING INFORMATION FOR THIS USER. BEWARE!!!
ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, BACK UP FOR BIDS, WHAT WOULD NORMALLY BE TERMED AS A, "BARN FIND", BUT IN ACTUALITY IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN SITTING RIGHT UNDER THE CARPORT FOR ABOUT THE LAST 17+ YEARS. CAR HAS BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR LONGER THAN THAT. BACK IN 1990, THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO FLORIDA BY YOUNGER FAMILY MEMBER AND HIS WIFE. ONCE THEY GOT THERE THEY EXPERIENCED SOME SORT OF MECHANICAL ISSUES. A CALL WAS PLACED BACK UP HERE TO SAY THE CAR DIED AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TRADE IT IN FOR WHATEVER, OR JUST JUNK IT. A FEW DAYS LATER A FAMILY MEMBER AND A FRIEND AND TOOLBOX WERE ON AN AMTRACK TRAIN HEADED TO FLORIDA. WHEN THEY GOT THERE, NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT WAS FOUND TO BE THE ISSUE, BUT THE CAR WAS DRIVEN BACK HERE TO NEW YORK, AND PLACED UNDER THE CARPORT UNTIL THIS WEEK. THERE ARE SOME OBVIOUS MISSING ITEMS UNDER THE HOOD, LIKE THE CLUTCH FAN, FAN SHROUD, COMPLETE A/C UNIT, BATTERY, AIR CLEANER, MISC. HOSES, AND SUCH. I THINK THERE MAY BE SOME ADDITIONAL ITEMS FOR THE CAR IN THE GARAGE, LIKE POSSIBLY EITHER DRIVER OR PASSENGER WINDOW GLASS, BUT NOT 100% SURE ON THAT. FOR A CAR THAT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR DARN NEAR 18 YEARS IT REALLY DOESN'T LOOK TO BE IN THAT BAD OF SHAPE AS FAR AS THE BODY GOES. BIGGEST RUST ISSUE I SEE ON THE CAR IS TYPICAL FOR THIS TYPE VEHICLE AND IS IN THE AREA OF THE REAR WINDSHIELD/TRUNK. BESIDES THAT THE BODY IS ACTUALLY PRETTY DECENT ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. THERE IS A CRACK IN THE HEADER PANEL AS IN THE PICTURES, BUT THIS IS AN EASY FIX FOR ANYONE WITH BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF FIBERGLASS. THE HEADLIGHT TRIM IS ORIGINAL, "TIN", NOT PLASTIC, AND THE FRONT TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS, AS WELL AS THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS ARE ORIGINAL AND IN GOOD SHAPE AS WELL. THE FLOORS SEEM SOLID, NO REAL SIGNS OF ANY WATER PUDDLING ON THEM THAT WOULD USUALLY CAUSE THEM TO RUST. THE INTERIOR IS ALL THERE, MEANING NONE OF THE BASIC COMPONENTS ARE MISSING. THE FRONT SEATS ARE SPLIT AT SEAMS ON THE SEAT PART, THE HEADLINER IS NOT HANGING AS IT SHOULD BE AND IS ROLLED UP BY THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE INTERIOR IS DIRTY, BUT AGAIN, ALL THERE, DOOR PANELS ARE INTACT, REAR SEAT CUSHIONS ARE INTACT AS WELL, EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL, "TYPE LT" STEERING WHEEL. THERE ARE 3, RUSTED, CRAGAR WIRE WHEELS, AND ONE REGULAR WHEEL WITH A HUBCAP. EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME I RAN AN AIR HOSE OUT TO THE CAR AND THE TIRES INFLATED AND FOR THE PAST 3 DAYS HAVE STAYED THAT WAY. I DO NOT KNOW THE ACTUAL CONDITION OF THE MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION AS ALL I DID WAS HOOKED THE CAR UP TO MY TRUCK AND PULLED IT OUT FROM THE CARPORT, SO IT IS BEING SOLD, "AS IS-WHERE IS", WITH NO WARRANTY IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING/TOWING AND ANY RELATED EXPENSES. I WILL DO MY BEST TO BE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST IN WHATEVER WAY I CAN TO FACILITATE TOWING OF CAR. A PAY-PAL DEPOSIT OF $500.00, IS REQUIRED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION END, WITH C.O.D. , BEING PAID AT TIME OF DELIVERY BY EITHER POSTAL MONEY ORDER, OR CASH. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, E-MAIL ME AND I WILL DO WHAT I CAN TO GET THEM ANSWERED FOR YOU, AND PLEASE, DO THIS BEFORE BIDDING NOT AFTER. I HAVE TRIED TO REPRESENT THIS CAR TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, AND HAVE TAKEN PICTURES TO SHOW ALL CORNERS OF THE CAR AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR. THIS IS A GREAT STARTING POINT FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS A LITTLE PIECE OF A CLASSIC AMERICAN SPORTS CAR HISTORY TO DO IN THEIR OWN WAY, BE IT BONE STOCK, OR AS A HOT ROD. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR SEARCHING AND BIDDING, AND THANKS FOR VIEWING MY LISTING.
