1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS

I am selling this car for my wife whose mother passed away at 94 years of age. It has been parked under her carport for the last 12 years or so without being driven. She owned it for some 25 years as the second owner. Never wrecked, in excellent shape. Has not been started, just as she left it. I assume whoever buys this car will be a professional restorer, so I have not put gas in it or tried to start it, I know there are a number of things you need to do before you even TRY to start it. (I'm 64 and have pulled many a car up out of the woods and made like new, so I know what is involved.) It was working great last time she drove it, but she just got scared to drive, wouldn't sell it because she wanted a car in the carport to deter break ins. Tires are aired up, but are old and the car would need to be towed to its new home. Some light surface rust at the front edge of the hood and few other places, but no rust-throughs detected. Had stick-on anti-ding molding on the sides, most of it has fallen off. I know whoever buys this will paint it, so it is not a big deal to clean off the adhesive left on the doors. Interior clean, no rips, but again, I assume whoever buys this will put new upholstery in. Trunk clean. Hood, engine dusty a 5.0 liter with air. Some hood insulation on right rear corner missing, rodents apparently used some for a nest many years ago. I did not detect any gnawing on wiring or any other damage. There is some crazing on red part of the rear tail lights. This is a true, little old lady only drove it to the market, church, and doctor car. She always had it maintained, so it is in about as good a shape as any you will find. There is a small quarter size dent in the drivers side of the trunk lid, it is pictured, and a couple of small dings in the forward chrome trim near the front tire. I hope it finds a good home. Because of all the cashier check scams, this is a go to the bank and get the cash deal. Of course, buy it now will require immediate payment through Pay Pal. I am not out to trick anyone, this is a great car if you are looking for one of this genre, and I have seen some real sweet redo's of this car. You will need a roll back or the like to take it away, the tires are old and I would not trust them to go far.
