    City: kingman

    State: Arizona
    Price: $5000.
    3F537A24-0139-4E66-ABD0-6611871209C7.jpeg time for a better home. rough driver. needs body work, light rust, colisión damage to left rear body, interior falling apart, stock suspension, stock brakes, stock wheels, stock hubcaps. i do have original taillights, and most trim. all need attention. A previous owner decades ago removed the non running original flathead V-8 and three speed manual transmission (both included). he dropped in a 1967 429 Cadillac engine and turbo 400. No radio, no heater and most gauges not working. all I’ve done to the car is just keep putting gas in it and enjoying it. I had to stop driving it a few months ago because of an internal leak in the master cylinder which I have now removed and I am trying to clean up, rebuild and put back in. no trades considered. cash talks. i’m trying to sell almost everything i have so i can move at the drop of my hat. and move on with my next chapter of life. thank you. btw the pictured wheels/tires/ caps belong with my suburban.

    D3893D29-2C1E-4299-ABAC-F12E328C99B6.jpeg this pic shows the colision damage. i’ve been trying to straighten out some of it. thankfully the stock taillights were not installed when the kid ran into my parked cad.

    I am planning on being back in kingman Arizona by the end of September. I shouldn’t have to run the air conditioning in my hundred+year-old house too much at that point.

    hopefully the existing old gas has not gone totally bad yet. if it’s still smelling somewhat ok i’ll use it up. after all i paid good money for that crappy shit. but any new gas I buy it’s gonna be premium for a month.

    now discovered a gas leak from the gas tank. hopefully it will be a simple quick fix. it never leaked since i got the cad in 1985.

    Dang. Still barely seeps. Guess I need to clean off a larger area and try again. OR remove the tank and resolder the fitting where the tank tubing connects. Pictures from PXL_20220417_182359095.jpg PXL_20220417_182334482.jpg PXL_20220417_182258106.jpg today.

    open to a reasonable cash offer. It’s not that I need to sell it… it’s just that I think it’s time to move it on to a new owner that would take interest in it and give it the attention it needs.

    I haven't been able to spot any gas dripping at all from the suspected leak area. so maybe I'm imagining that is leaking. I'll give it another close look soon.
    meanwhile, I've raised my asking price to $6,000 cash. but bottom line is that cash talks.
