Hi, Being on here many years before. I had a Golde top in 2002 to 2008, but sold it back in 2008 after the death of my Dad. Missed it since then.
SO, now, I found this nice one. Red & White, Locally, just like my old one.
I looked at it, and drove it. The Good:
Started right up, no smoke, ran evenly, appears to be newer Stainless exhaust. Underneath, solid, no rust etc. No leaks , but did detect a power steering leak underneath . Could be gasket or that piston etc underneath. Eng looks correct and painted that way. Sunroof slides back and forth easily, headliner very good.
Heater works, fan works, Old tube radio works, and buttons are ease to push and move easily. Chrome is very good all around.
Door's closed and open easily, locks worked. A/C worked. Radio worked, even wipers worked!!! Dash pad is very good.
Pwr Wdw;s and seat worked. Rug, good. Interior seats, worn
except drive seat. Back is Ok, passengers side badly worned but no rips. Windows very good, but slight crack in drv side.
Headlights work, turning signal worked. Forgot to check horn.
The Bad: (Not terrible things I think)
WW Bias tires look old a bit worn, and tires squeal on turns, so might be low on air, need alignment, or bent spindles but I doubt that.
Gas gauge doesn't work, but I heard you can access the tank from the trunk and replace the sensor. is that true?
Dash lights don't work. Hate this, but it's not that difficult to fix one way or the other.
The front of car has lots of pitting, like a lot of little stones hit it. The very top of Hood Scoop has a spider cracking paint.
Car seems to drive good, shifts well, no kicking or stalling etc. Idles well.
He is asking (which I think is low) $10,500.
Anything else I should be concerned with. It's a dealer but selling for a friend. Not charging additional fees etc. Just temp tag to drive it home etc. Like a private sale. Friend is older and selling off 2 other classic from what he says and not feeling well. (So he says.)
Not looking for showroom but a nice presentable driver I can take to cruise nights etc. I am fairly handy, but not to the degree of taking engines out etc.
Any opinions?? Love these car, seems good , but feeling a bit nervous doing it, knowing of course you have to throw your time and money into it. It's part of the hobby. Ths guys, Always loved the squarebirds!
