SELLING WITH NO RESERVE/ LAST BIDDER WINNS

I PICKED THIS CAR UP LAST SPRING AT A CLASSIC CAR AUCTION IN COLUMBIA MO.
THEY ANNOUNCED THE CAR CAME OUT OF A LOCAL OLD WOMANS GARAGE,AND IT HAD BEEN SITTING SINCE 2020
I THOUGHT THE OLD CAR WAS IN PRETTY DECENT CONDITION FOR WHAT IT IS,I WOULD CALL IT A VERY ORIGINAL SURVIVOR, AND QUITE DESIRABLE WITH THE POPULAR 226 SLANT 6

I DID DRIVE THE CAR HOME OVER 100 MILES,AND THEN CRUISED IT AROUND THE LAKE TO A COUPLE OF CAR MEETS AND CRUISES AND ALSO USED IT FOR A LOCAL DRIVER LAST SUMMER ,
FOR SOME REASON EVERYONE REALLY LIKES THIS OLD UGLY BOXY CAR,
I GET MORE COMPLIMENTS THAN I THINK IT DESERVES, ACTUALLY ITS MORE POPULAR WITH THE CROWD THAN MY OLD PORSCHE 911,OR HOT ROD C10 ITS CRAZY. PEOPLE REALLY DO LIKE THIS THING.

ANYWAY THIS IS A1978 DODGE DIPLOMAT SEDAN, POWERED BY A 225 SLANT SIX ENGINE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE CAR WILL RUN AND DRIVE AND SEEMS TO BE RELIABLE, ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT RUNs ROUGH WHILE IDLING IN GEAR,ITS SHAKEY .WHEN I BOUGHT IT GAS WAS A BIT STALE SMELLING ,I TOPED IT OFF WITH PREMIUM AND DROVE IT HOME
I FOUND A COUPLE VACUME LEAKS ,FIXED THEM BUT IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE
,ALSO LAST SUMMER I HAD TO HAVE A NEW FUEL PUMP INSTALLED
THE 225 ENGINE STARTS VERY RZ AND DOES NOT SMOKE NOR HAS IT USED ANY OIL, NO ABNORMAL TICKS OR KNOCKS,DOES RUN NICE AND COOL DOWN THE ROAD .
I HAVE NEVER TOUCHED CARBURETOR, TIMING, OR TUNE UP OR TESTED COMPRESSION
THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY GOOD AND HAS NICE CLEAN FLUID
THE CAR ACTUALLY GOES DOWN THE ROAD QUITE WELL ,SUSPENSION FEELS TIGHT,AND TIRES ARE VERY DECENT
BRAKES FEEL GOOD,EXHAUST SYSTEM IS SOLID,HAS NOT LEFT ANY DRIPS ON MY DRIVEWAY, HAS NEVER LEFT ME STRANDED,
THE CAR APPEARS TO BE WEARING THE ORIGINAL PAINT ,THE BODY IS STRAIGHT, VINYL TOP IS VERY NICE,NO RIPS OR WEATHERED SPOTS, NO RUST UNDER THE TOP.
THERE ARE SOME SPOTS OF RUST STARTING AROUND REAR WHEEL WELLS AND ONE LOWER ROCKER BY REAR TIRE,
AN EZ FIX FOR A BODY GUY.
FRAME AND FLOOR PANS ARE SOLID,TRUNK IS NICE ,SPARE AND JACK ARE ON PLACE. BUMPERS ARE STRAIGHT, TRIM IS STRAIGHT. THERE ARE SOME MINOR BLEMISHES HERE AND THERE ON THE PAINT COMMON WITH A OLD CAR, BUT PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP IS APPARENT, CAR WAS ELDERLY OWNED AND KEPT UP WITH,UNTIL IT SAT SINCE 2020.
LAST MO. STATE SAFTY INSPECTION STICKER READS MAY 2020.

INTERIOR IS PRESENTABLE, DASH IS VERY NICE,HEADLINER IS NICE,NO SAGGING, INTERIOR IS TIDY,BUT DRIVER LEATHER SEAT BOTTOM HAS A COUPLE SPLITS AS WELL AS CENTER ARM REST,HAS ORIGINAL RUBBER FLOOR MATTS, CARPETS ARE DECENT BUT DO HAVE WEAR SPOTS ON DRIVER SIDE, NO FUNKY STAINS OR STRANGE SMELLS DONT THINK IT WAS A SMOKERS CAR,DOOR PANELS ARE NICE,

SEEMS LIKE ALL THE LIGHTS ARE WORKING, WIPERS ETC, THE AC TOOK A CHARGE LAST SUMMER AND LASTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE LEAKING DOWN, THE AC COMPRESSOR WORKS, BLOWER MOTOR WORKS,PROBABLY NEEDS A SEAL OR O RING SOMEWHERE,
ALSO THE CAR HAS A CRACKED WINDSHIELD THAT MAY NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION IN SOME STATES THAT REQUIRE INSPECTIONS, ALSO REAR VIEW MIRROR IS LOOSE FROM WINDSHIELD, BUT I HAVE IT.
I HAVE DESCRIBED THE OLD CAR TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY,

PLEASE ASK ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE

I FEEL THE CAR WOULD PROBABLY DRIVE HOME WITHOUT ISSUES, I KNOW VISE GRIP GARAGE GUY COULD CROSS THE COUNTRY IN THIS OLD GIRL, GETTING IT HOME IS YOUR CALL,I PERSONALLY WOULD TRAILER IT IF GOING FAR CROSS COUNTRY IN WINTER TIME.
CAR HAS A CLEAN AND CLEAR MO. TITLE
UPON FULL PAYMENT THE CAR AND TITLE WILL BE RELEASED
IF USING ANY FORM OF CHECK THE CAR AND TITLE WILL REMAIN IN MY POSSESSION TILL CHECK CLEARS MY BANK.
PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THE CAR IF YOU CAN NOT FOLLOW THROUGH OR DONT HAVE THE FUNDS

I WILL START THE CAR AT WHAT I BELIVE TO BE A VERY FAIR PRICE SO EVERYONE HAS A CHANCE TO BID

"No rust under the vinyl top." Looks like a waterfall rust stain from the bottom of the vinyl top trim all the way to the wheelwell trim.

Also, a lot of bull$hit in that ad.

Typing in capslock should trigger a lifetime ban from the interwebs!

It looks clean but I don't buy a few things such as original miles. The driver's seat torn up bad compared to passenger side.
