White '79 For Sale

Hi Everyone,
Well it's time for me to let my baby go.
She's not a show car, but she's still damn nice and runs great.
I've got her on C-list but I'd rather see her go to someone who will appreciate her as much as I do.

For you guys I'd be willing to talk price a bit, but I'm already almost $700 below average NADA value, and NADA value doesn't take into consideration all the options either.

For Badass members, I'll even throw in all my lifetime warranties too. Never have to pay for brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, water pumps, inner/outer tie rods, and more! Heh heh heh, these can be used on more than just our B-bodies too!

If anybody's interested, lets talk.

You have a VERY nice car there! It reminds me of the '79 2 door V6 (lame) Caprice I had. I'm sure that you'll have a sale/trade in no time. Maybe not here, due to everyone owning every b body in new England already, and enough parts to build one or two more! GLWS!

Man that car is sweet. I wish I could swing having a second nice weather car around

GLWS though! Very nice car.

I'm tempted, lol

Just looked through your cardomain page, that's a lot of info on there! Did you ever get the fender fixed? If anyone ever hit my Impala in an egregiously negligent fashion, I'd probably have to be committed to a mental institution after pummeling the other driver and then urinating on their face in the middle of the street...

How many miles? Does it need anything? What does it come with?

Yeah Matt do it!

Hi Matt,
I've actually got 3 spare fenders now, but I wound up fixing the original one too. I just couldn't put a non-original body panel on her.

She's got 140xxx on her. Regular oil changes. Just had an oil change like 20 miles ago actually. Hasn't been tuned up in a few years but she hasn't needed it. (I only put a couple thousand miles a year on her, if that many even.) Recently though, I noticed a few drops of trans fluid in the driveway somewhere up near the radiator area. Sorry, but I don't know exactly where it's coming from. I've been AFU'd medically for a while now, so no more crawling under cars for me.

She needs carpet. I took the carpet out a couple years ago but never got around to replacing it. The floor is still pretty much perfect with only a tiny bit of surface rust where the heel of your foot would go.
There's a couple interior trim pieces that to you or I are in need of replacing due to age, but to the average person, they're fine.
The AC was converted to r134a(?) by the original owner and still worked last time I knew it but it's been disco'd since the manifold/carb change. I Effing HATE edelbrock carbs now, and WILL NOT pay an additional $110 for an adapter bracket for the AC throttle solenoid. The solenoid's in the glove box.
Oh yeah, same for the Cruise Control. Eff edelbrock and their proprietary bracketry.
Try to understand though..... I had to have a 4bbl on her, lol!

There's 2 annoying things with her, 1) the left directional doesn't auto-cancel, you have to manually click it off or you drive down the road looking like an idiot with it still flashing. I know, I know, it's an easy fix, but I'm so used to it I never bothered to fix it. And 2) the vacuum line that controls the heater controls dry rotted so it's stuck in the "Defrost" position. It's too much of a PITA for me to fix it so I never did.

She comes with what's on the c-list ad, but for anyone here, I'll leave in the tach and gauges.
I'm selling the car by it's self. Spare parts sold separately.

Gotta run...

*EDIT: Matt, I see you're in Mass...... you'll be able to use all my lifetime warranties too......
