Happy to co-ordinate with any mechanical inspections (at buyers cost) and transporting companies as required (again, at buyers cost).

Please message if you require any additional photos or information. I will do my best to answer. Lots of receipts from local garage (Campbell Ford Performance) and receipts for the tires, and paint.

MECHANIC’S NOTES (The "To-Do" List)

This is a high-end "rolling project." The expensive work is finished; the following minor items remain for the next owner to bring it to a 100% show-standard:
Electrical: Rear running lights and headlights work perfectly (albeit dim due to technology of the day). However, the brake lights and turn signals are currently non-op (likely a turn signal switch/grounding issue). Fuel gauge is also non-op.
Weatherstripping: While the window felts and trunk seals are new, other seals are original. A full replacement of these rubbers is recommended to ensure a 100% watertight seal against hose spray.
Transmission: Original 3-on-the-floor manual. Occasionally pops out of gear under heavy downhill braking (likely a linkage adjustment). Minor low-speed clutch judder present.
Body/Interior: This was originally a green interior, minor evidence under black leather paint on rear seats. Roof liner is solid, missing sunvisors. There are minor rust holes in the trunk pan (see photos - the last bit of metalwork needed on the car). The interior carpet needs a final tidy-up/adhesive/door strip covers, and the rear window is missing the chrome trim.
