$8,000 is the price Im trying to get out of this

This hearse is in really good shape, over-all and comes with all the original chrome/other exterior appointments (i.e. side-mirrors, tail-light lenses, spot-lights, emblem, hub-caps, grill, etc: of exterior original, factory-pieces, none are missing), mourners seats, casket rollers and window cranks, interior, etc. There are a lot more photos posted in Photobucket; follow this link for a more detailed look (pics showing all pieces, including some of the equipment listed above, are not yet available): http://s839.photobucket.com/albums/zz311/ELAINESHEARSE/
Obviously, its not in mint condition but all of the hard-to-replace, curved-glass pieces are w/o cracking or breakage. The pink velvet interior is completely disintegrating, of course (along with seat-cushions). Two of the straight windows will need replacement and it hasnt been in use (or even started) in about 10 years and its missing the wind-shield washer-fluid tank (another piece of factory glass). Painting it will be the only real work on the exterior. Many surface rust spots are beginning to develop (and of course, the door-seals are dry rotting); however (being that it is just surface-affected), a little effort will go a long way to remedy this, as nothings rusted through.
It spent the majority of its existence inside a (Dayton) Huber Heights, Ohio garage but has been parked where it was recently photographed (Photobucket pics..) since the last time anyone has used it, around 10 years ago.
The engine and systems relevant for running and driving are all original as well. In this area, gas-line and tank will need to be dealt with and battery replaced before it will be possible to get it to start. The tires were new (10 years ago...!) but this is no basket-case. This is a restoration to sink your teeth into but one w/o risk that youll wind up breaking them off while up-to-your-ears in it! A little time, a lot of love and limited inve$tment will get you functional enough to start it up and the simplicity of its engine and crucial systems ensures an amount of ease during restorations/repairs. There are views showing whats under the hood in the Photobucket album, as well. Take a look and if any stats/facts, which you may know about, please contact me via my Gmail and clue me in (or lets talk about you buying it, if youre interested in purchase of this sweet hearse); Ill offer my phone contact & location info upon your request.
