Price dropped
Hey, Unfortunately the time has come where me and the best car I have ever owned have to part ways. Im not in a hurry to get rid of it but thought id put feelers out there to see what comes up.
The car has 120800 miles on it and is a winter package so came with the LSD. The colour is a beautiful brokatrot metallic with a tan interior. It was delivered to the original owner in Connecticut where it spent most of its life garage kept. the owner grew old and so was moved to live with family in NYC along with the car where it was then sold to a neighbor as it wasn't needed. (Can provide lots of information as well as the original adds from both previous owners) I then bought it from the neighbor 8 months later who was a great guy but unfortunately didn't know much about the car and so didn't really take care of it. The majority of my initial ownership was bringing life back into it by doing:
-PCV valve change
-Full front end, control arms, tie rods, bushings etc.
-brake fluid flush
-New belts
-New Battery
-New fan and fan shroud (first owner redid cooling system before selling so recent)
-Oil, filter
-Exterior and interior detailing, wiper blades.
-Opened and refurbished window, mirror switches, seat and mirror memory module.
-Changed to style 32 rims with new tires (Still have originals with relatively new tires)
more i'm probably missing, have all paperwork for the work
The car has been exceptionally reliable and a beautiful drive with a very young engine. If you havent driven one of the v8's you really have to experience it if you get a chance.
Known Issues:
-The main issue with the car is the set ball issue common to the winter packages (plastic set ball shrinks over time). This causes a shudder in reverse (sounds scarier than it is) that does not affect performance. The issues are resolved when driven in winter mode, and has been present without any development since the original owner. The car was inspected at Rayco Euro for this issue, where the fluid and level was checked to be fine and the problem was diagnosed to the set ball as well as possibly dirty solenoids. Problem can be solved if the valve body is dropped and the set ball replaced, however the car is perfectly fine for now.
-Crack in windshield that started at the wiper blade heater during the winter. Rapid temperature change caused crack.
-Minor dent on hood and rear drivers side, as well as paint scraped off on driver wheel arch from original owner. Planning to fix these soon. Otherwise paint is in good shape for the age and is a beautiful colour that you have to see in person.
Asking $3500 Or make me an offer. It really is difficult to find these cars in this condition, and if you love them this is the car for you.
Will update with more pictures soon.
Feel free to ask me any questions, text Karun at 7135971777. Car available in either NYC or Wilkes Barre, PA.
Will be on craigslist soon, but really really want it to go to someone who will care about it as I have.IMG_20181216_141132.jpgIMG_20190323_193339.jpgIMG_20190420_194256.jpgIMG_20181214_142555.jpgMVIMG_20190323_193324.jpg
