[DeTomaso] Original 5000 Mile Survivor '72 L Available Near Seattle

[Pantdino]

30 years in a high humidity environment without the gears in the ZF being coated with oil = are the gears all ruined?  How much are new ones?Engine seized?  Were the cylinders oiled up before storage, or was it just parked?Brake and clutch hydraulic systems are history. Need new.
Probably good for a museum who just wants to push it into place and let it be stared at.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Original 5000 Mile Survivor '72 L Available Near Seattle

  I've been contacted by a gentleman on Vashon Island, near Seattle, who
  is 86 and has owned since new a '72 L in Canary Yellow and has decided
  it's time to sell the car.  It has just over 5,000 miles on it and has
  never been registered as he owned an auto leasing agency at the time.
  It was purchased from Pacific Lincoln Mercury here in the Seattle area
  and he would be "delighted" if it were to stay in the area.
  Unfortunately it's been on a rack and has not moved for near to 30
  years.  He has all of the documentation back to new including all of
  the dealer information on how to sell the car.  He admits it would not
  be a turnkey car but would need a fair bit of maintenance catch-up to
  be driveable.


  He has told me he will let the car go "when he hears the right number"
  which so far he has not.  He did not give me an indication what ball
  park that number was in but if you are or know someone who is
  interested in a completely original low-mileage survivor car (still in
  it's Arriva dance slippers) let me know and I'll contact him to reach
  out to you.


  As a side note, he bought 5 Panteras through his leasing agency and
  still has all of the window sticker and other docs from the purchases.
  I asked him to forward the VIN numbers so I can put them out to the
  forum to see who may have those cars now and connect them with the
  paperwork.


  Thanks:
