Here’s the text from eBay…
This excellent specimen was purchased brand-new in 1965 at Johnson Chrysler Plymouth in Auburn California by Raymond Larsen, for his wife Clarise. It was driven locally around Camino and Placerville (and always garaged) until the early 1990’s, when it was parked in a barn on the Larsen property in Camino. There it has sat for nearly two decades… now Raymond’s son Earl is putting the car up for sale.
The odometer reads 8,957 miles, so it is assumed that the car has 108,957. The body, paint, interior, and drivetrain are all original. The AM radio still works! The car is equipped with a 4-barrel 440 V8 and Torqueflite 727 transmission. It has power steering and power brakes. The dash is in excellent shape.
Overall, for it’s age, this vehicle is in remarkable condition! But, it is still a 45-year-old car that was a regular driver, and it’s been sitting for nearly 20 years; there are plenty of flaws, and it needs TLC. The front seat is worn through at the drivers-side edge. The drivers door doesn’t shut properly, and has some damage. There is a dent on the drivers side rear wheel skirt. There are scratches and door dings all over the body. The tires are worn, and the front-end is out of alignment. One of the wheel cylinders is slowly leaking brake fluid. An overflow tank is cracked.
In getting the car prepared for sale, a new battery has been installed, the oil has been changed, the other fluids have been topped off, and both the upper and lower radiator hoses have been replaced. The alternator and voltage regulator have been replaced, and all the spark plugs have been changed. It has been registered, and is now legal to operate. Even though this car does run, drive, and stop, I don’t know how far it can really be trusted. Drive it back to Miami at your own risk.
When the car sells, an immediate deposit of 10% is due, with full payment expected in hand within 7 days. If you can’t do this, DON’T BID. If you like, you can view and test drive the car; just contact Morgan for an appointment. (Email me through this site, or call 925-788-9991.)
