Vehicle description

This car is a great little project car or if nothing else has lots of new and used parts.
Engine/Under hood
Not being a mechanic, I can only speak of what I know. Car started and ran fine after two years of storage last week (battery was dead so I jump started it.) Car was put in storage due to very rusty shock tower on passenger side. Steering pump replaced a year before storage as well as serpentine belt when belt broke in very cold weather. Fuel pump replaced per diagnosis by tow truck/shop who towed car in when it stopped on highway. Wasn"t problem but same incident required replacement of two belts including timing belt, crankcase sensor and a pulley that was wobbling which apparently caused problem. New catalytic converter (front one) and spark plug wires, plugs. In general the car runs but is old and has no warranty. I sell it as-is.
Body/Exterior The body has only a little rust (see images). It does have dappling on the hood due to clear coat wearing off. It would need a paint job. There is a dent on the passenger side which was from an accident in the first years of the car. Outdoor mirrors are in good shape. Glass is old but no cracks. Sunroof is caulked shut by previous owner because it leaked. Not sure condition of mechanism. Back hatch works well and has new lifters. There is tinting on back window with a small piece torn off a couple inches by an inch appx. Gas fill door and cap work fine. Aluminum wheels show a little age but have no major wear or damage. Headlamps were replaced a year before storing. Muffler was fine when i started a week ago.
Interior
Seats are a little worn but no major damage, tears, etc. Dash has some cracks previous owner said happened during a repair. No more info given. Console cover is missing. Access panel on passenger side of dash cover has broken tabs that keep it on so it falls off unless secured. All floor mats present. Seat belts all present and functioning. Electric windows functioning properly. Power locks work. Intermittent wipers work. Air conditioning works well. Rear defogger works well. Cruise control present and working. Wired for Viper alarm/remote start but was not given control fob on purchase and removed control module to disable. Module location unknown as of this time so not included. Radio currently unusable due to lack of security code needed after battery removed. CD player works but not well. Skips a lot. Doors in good shape. Original spare and jack present as well as hatch floor cover. Shelf behind back seat present and in good shape.
This is what I know.The car is being sold as-is. If you have questions please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for visiting my listing.
