Clean and Clear Title in my name

There were 5,069 of the L-82 models produced in 1980. These are the higher horsepower V8's and are the most desirable.

"Good Condition" average value according to Hagerty is $14,400

I would place this car in between "good" and "excellent.”

"Concours Condition" is $30,700.

"Excellent Condition" average value is $21,300.

"Fair Condition" average value is $8,700.

Car was originally white with red interior.

Why Sell?

I had back surgery about three months and have been unable to work. I have to sell to help get us by for a while. Otherwise, I wouldn't sell this car.

The previous owner rebuilt the engine and transmission. I did everything else myself. Before I hurt my back I rebuilt/restored and sold cars and motorcycles. I have done a lot of work on this one. So many hours. I tore the interior down to the frame. There is no rust on this car. I have replaced everything that I came across that needed it. I did everything the right way. I do not cut corners. I built this car to keep. Hate to, but must sell. It is priced for a quick sale.

It drives very smooth. I've driven it quite a bit around town and on a few trips (three hours or so each). It has good power, shifts perfect. Corners incredible. Starts easy. It's a very solid car. There are a few things left to do that I didn't get to finish before my surgery. I've listed those below. I also listed all the new parts and work done. I'm probably forgetting some things there.
