During this last winter while the car was parked, I gave it a complete tune-up with all the parts shown above.  I have since driven the car 790 miles this year. The car runs and drives excellent.  Motor and tranny are very smooth and quiet. Trans shifts firm, but not jarring.

Good:
-Car runs and drives great
-No rust! This car has never seen a winter.
-Paint is very glossy and always covered in a thick coat of wax.
-Paint on valence is great and valence has absolutely NO sag.
-Leather seats in great shape
-Cloth upholstery in great shape
-Everything on the car works. Original cassette player works fantastic (I put in one of those tape things you plug your MP3 into to listen to music)

Bad:
-Drivers seat has a small amount of stitching that has come undone on the bottom pad.  Easy fix though, leather is not ripped!
-Paint not perfect, has some rock chips on front (like any car that has been driven)
-Parking brake does not work. Likely needs new cables.
-Hood louvers have cracks in them.
-Rear struts clunk around sharp corners. ie. turning around a cul-de-sac

Overall, this car is in great shape. I have personally owned it for 2 years and have spent my time restoring this car. I love this car dearly, but I am moving 1,600 miles across the country to Phoenix, Arizona to attend school at the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute under UTI, so I would like to see it go to a good home. I am asking $5,500 or best offer for it. I have way more than that into it!

You all know what the car looks like, but here are some pics:
Ignore me in this pic.. I don't like being in pictures lol
