Detail about this Corona by owner
Has 77,000 miles on the car. New stainless steel gas tank, New tires, New water pump. Automatic Transmission (2 speed).

The Bad: Rust holes on exterior in six spots, back windows don't roll down, but if you fix them there is no post so big opening when front and rear windows are down. New brake pads but is still pulls to the left when you slam on brakes, not an issue if you ease into the brakes. Could use a new exhaust and shocks/struts. I have all four hub caps and side review mirrors just not in the pictures. This car runs very well once it has warmed up. We can drive it around the neighborhood but I don't have plates for the car so you will have to bring a trailer or we will have to go transfer the title and get new plates if you want to drive it home. It will need an new battery but we can jump start it if you want to hear it run.
