| This is a front view of the car. this picture was taken by the previous owner from his house in Texas. The paint in the front of the car is actualy pretty good, but you can see some small signs of cracking and dulling in the paint. |

| Another picture of the car taken from Texas. This is the rear drivers side of the limo. as you can see in the photo the trunk looks bad. the reason for this is that the original owner did not have a long enough garage so the tail stuck out exposed to the texas sun and weather. the rest of the paint looks ok. The chrome is real nice on the car too. everything looks good from this photo except the trunk. |
| Heres a nice photo of the Jumper Seats and the glass divider(currently not working). From this Picture of the Interior from the outside you can see bubles in the vinyl roof. I suspected RUST, or just sun cracks the car is 32 years old. the interior is real nice looking. |
| The following pictures were taken by the previous owner to sell the car. I will take pictures throughout the Restoration and after |
| I bought this car off ebay as with My DeLorean. this is the fourth car I have bought off ebay. The previous owner agreed to drive the car from Texas to Long Island NY where I would meet him at MacAurthur Airport. The car made the trip with no problems except losing a hubcap. I picked up the car on Jan 17 2002 and drove it home. The car only has 58,000 miles. It realy is a nice car, except the dash lights weren't working and I had to drive home at night. The next morning my father wanted to bring it for an oil change at his mechanic. I didn't realy want to because of all my past problems with mechanics and my DeLorean, but its just an oil change and tune-up. |
| Update : feb-6-02 I recently Pulled off the vinyl roof and oh boy... RUST! It wasnt to bad though it was rust bumps not realy holes, although I expect some to turn to hole after sanding. I started by using my angle grinder which I bought a week eirlier so this was my fist time using one. as of right now all of the molding aroung the roof of the car is off and i have grinded away all the rust bumps which turned to rust holes. I have repaied two silver dollar sized holes that were under the vinyl covering the door tops with body filer and an old screen door. this is the first time i have ever done anything like this and so far its coming out good, but the area surrounding the rear window scares me. the roof mainly has a bunch of penny sized holes scattered around, but the rear window has like 2 VHS cassette sized holes on each side of the window. just out of curiosity i am going to get an estimate for this and to paint the whole car. if it is too much I will Paint just the trunk and attempt to repair the rust. And thats where I am now. I will take it to my fathers mechanic where he will take pictures of it to send to an auto body shop in riverhead (over an hour away) for an estimate. if its in my price range I'll let them do it. |
