This vehicle has been driven less than 17000 miles.  In excellent condition. With a little care this will be a show stopper.  Asking $13500.   Serious inquiries only please.

Seems sad it's been on the market for over a year... must have some kind of "deal breaker" that requires expensive repair.  thanks for posting Bryan,  James

It is weird and something is going on.

These were notorious for having the paint bubble up just below the vinyl top on both quarter panels when they were only a year old.  The color is a love it or hate it shade.

With the condition of the woodgrain fascia on the passenger side of the dash, and the broken seat belt clip on the drivers' seat, I would be thinking it has rolled over on the odometer to 117,000 miles.

 I had a 75 Coupe Deville and it had been in Hawaii for years before someone shipped it back here. I  got it for a hundred dollars and drove the wheels off it. But it was rotten all over underneath the vinyl top. If you touched it it sounded like you had just put your foot in a bowl of cornflakes. But man what a nice riding car!!
 
 I can't get the pictures to expand on my phone, but it's partly because I don't do Farcebook I think. I couldn't see the issues you were talking about with the dash.

 I was wondering about the spare tire position. I thought they were supposed to sit up against the hump at an angle so it doesn't take up too much floor space in the trunk.

 But from what I can see, it's a really beautiful car. I really like that color combo.
 But like you said James, there must be something wrong if it hadn't sold in a year. The price seems reasonable to me if it's as nice as the pictures portray it.

Here it is.   The inlay is curling up across the top, and the end.

You can see in one of the trunk pix where the spare sits correctly up on the hump. There is the hole in the trunk material to allow for the threaded hook to be placed in the receiver.

And for that faux woodgrain to be coming off suggests it sat with that corner of the car in the sun all the time. But usually in really hot conditions, the entire top of the dash gets wavy where the monitoring light bar is.

When I use my car on sunny days, I take the seat towels and fold them across the dash to protect it. I hate those fuzzy dash covers.
