The featured pic (with Cutlass in the grass) is from 15 years ago - when it was a daily driver and before it was disassembled. The engine does not start but the vehicle body is in great condition (never wrecked) and this would be a wonderful project car. Impressive, tight fitting lids and doors. Straight, solid frame. Engine and transmission partially rebuilt 16 years ago when it served as a daily driver. Owner retained most bills for drive-train work and solid provenance. Owner wanted to return it to the original Viking Blue (with the original rallye stripes) and substantial vehicle body work has been performed and the interior was disassembled for body paint. After new paint job was complete, the vehicle was driven directly from body shop to owners' carport and parked. Paint job started going bad and owner never reassembled or restarted the car again. Almost all of the parts were dry-stored and retained and most are original. There are some Year One reproduction parts that were never installed and are in like-new condition (door panels, carpet, weather stripping, for example).
A parts list is available but this car is near complete with only a few parts missing (an air inductor plate for hood, battery, handles, head-lamp trim, etc.) Over $3,000 worth of disassembled parts are included. Here's a partial list: Cutlass Emblems, "S" Insignia, Rear Bumper, Door Panels (new and original), Lower side-body door mouldings, door jam vent louvers, rear arm-rests with ashtrays, front arm-rest pads, interior pillar post molding, glovebox liner insert, door sill plates, roof rails and weatherstrip, repro (Year 1) carpet, window sweeps, lap-belts, and MORE. If I'm unable to get fair price for the whole vehicle within 2 weeks, will begin selling parts. However, would prefer to sell in one unit to someone looking to restore this beautiful machine and enjoy it as much as I have. This is a rare, original find and comes with lots of extras. Located in Central Georgia.
