Very pretty '73 Auto for sale...

[Zvoiture]

Went and looked at a very near pristine 9/72 the other day. Completely stock (well, Fram filter and 195 tires) and mostly original, other than some very good maintenance over the years and replacement of worn items with Nissan parts. Original owner converted to roundtops. Owner is in the automotive repair business and has realy kept this one nice. 93,500 miles. Current owner purcheased it from original owner in '82. Always garaged and covered and dash shielded. Driven weekly. Weatherstrip all very soft and in excellent condition. Doors are noticeably air-tight. Original radio. Everything still works--even the clock! One small seperation about 1.5" long in one seam of driver's seat--otherwise perfect upholstery throughout. Not a single blemish on the dash. Threshold trim still bright. Fires up instantly and purrs with correct idle kick-downs. Valvetrain sounds good and overall very strong. Other than the rather bright valve cover (long story...) engine is completely stock and refreshed here and there with factory hoses, parts, etc. Engine has not been steam-cleaned but is proportionately clean. Some oil here and there. Dealer-installed A/C with new compressor. Paint is bright and BEAUTIFUL! Car has been re-painted the original color and has a few leading-edge chips. No dings or surface irregularities at all. All panels very smooth and well-fitting. Both floorpans show signes of earth-contact. Everything else perfect. I went over, around and through this car very closely for over an hour and found only two tiny bubbles less than 1/4" in diameter in the passenger dogleg. Rear inner fender seams, rockers, fenders, hood mounts, cowl, floors, rear inner deck, battery tray--all solid to eye and probe. Some paint peeling under bettery tray. All drains in place. Very VERY nice throughout. A beautiful example of reasonable care and use over 30+ years. Always a Southern CA car--originally in Los Angeles and currently in San Luis Obispo.

And its a star!!! Car and owner was featured in Collectable Automobile magazine February/97.

$10,000
