I have reviewed the pictures carefully, but I have to ask, are there any curb scrapes or other damage? If I win the auction can you hold them for a week or so as I will come down from Fresno to collect them? Thanks.
This is a wonderful car, but there is an error in the description: "This long-wheelbase sedan is powered by a 2.6-liter M103 Inline-6 which outputs 160 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque." This is not a long wheelbase SEL, but rather a short wheelbase SE
Interesting choice to back-date the wheels to bundts - they were last used on the 1985 models.
Nice car, but this car does not have the US-model rear license plate lights (on the sides of the plate), nor does it have the bumper-mounted license plate light used on Euro models. Similarly, it does not have the beehive amber turn signals at the front that a US model would have, but is also lacking the amber inset lights that Euro models with stacked headlights would have.
One more observation - the car has marker lights (or possibly reflectors) on the rear fenders, but not the front. Front and rear should be the same.
Beautiful car in so many ways, but the rear end sits way too high. See the spring in pic 263 - this was used to replace a hydraulic unit and this spring needs fine tuning (cutting) to get the height dialed in. Or source an original hydraulic compensator - this car is worth the expense.
