I Purchase car last year from “Gateway Classic Cars - Los Vegas”, Paid $15k. I’m selling for $13,000 due to the needed repairs.
See pics from when I purchased from Gatway Classic. Also the car is featured on YouTube from pervious owner..it’s a well documented car, dating back from purchase.
I’m being e truly honest about any defects I highlighted them in yellow..because my ass is sore from not being told the truth when buying it myself.
Car runs OUTSTANDING, it will rip the rubber off the wheels.it drive 90+ steady, strong without shaking, squeaks or rattles—-zero just perfection.
It’s smooth, rattle free, straight line driver..it’s a no bullshit good car.
All electronic things work (windshield whippers, clock, radio, interior lights, head lights, power locks, antenna, cd radio)
Installed new $1200 Holly carb to match the car to keep it original by a high end classic car garage guy that knows old toys well. So I paid top dollar to fix by someone that knows what there doing..
First week of ownership a some dumb ass lady at night calling her dog to cross the street to go home.. hit the front end of the car. The dog is fine..I wished I could do more to the dumb ass lady.. however it damaged the front grill and left turn light..and minor bend by turning signal. Hagerty insurance paid $1800 for rrpairs. I didn’t get the repairs completed, so the car is marked down twice the value of the loss.
THESE ARE THE KNOWN FAULTS OF THE CAR..no one disclosed sh—-it to me. But I’m honestl person.
A) passenger side window does not operate.
B) Sun roof window does not operate
C) AC does not blow cold. The system works great but no cold. A conversion to 134a refrigerant cost $1800 here in Jacksonville, Fl
D) Extreme minor surface rust by metal trim next to vinyl roof. Roof has NO KNOW. RUST..roof under vinyl is solid as a tank.
If any questions, test drive..drop me a line. I’ll do all I can to he
