Okay, so I know this car is totally off the wall and I expect no one here to be interested, but it is going on ebay within the next month hopefully, and I thought this would be a good place to work out everything with getting ready to sell it and get a good description of it. (P.S. if you have any friends who maybe interested PLEASE tell them!)

Details:

-4 Cylinder Gasoline engine (slow, but she's a cruiser!)
-Automatic Transmission
-Lefthand Drive
-Drivers seat it a bucket seat, front passenger is a flip down "parachute seat" Rear is a bench that fits 2-3 people with two rear facing parachute seats.
-Suicide Doors!
-All headlights/taillights/turn signals work great!
-Has an aftermarket AM/FM radio put in with four speakers
-Aftermarket heating/AC installed, but doesn't work (AC may just need a recharge.)
-Drivers/passengers are partitioned by a sliding glass window.
-Rear boot has a spare tire and jack (all 5 tires have less than 1000 miles on them)
-Engine runs very well (never broken down or overheated on me) transmission seems to work fine as well. (Could use an oil change, and I will do one if buyer requests.)
-I have it registered as an Antique Vehicle in VA so I don't need inspections, so I have no clue if it would pass other states...

BTW: Some of these photos are older, so some minior paint touch up has taken place since these photos, and in some it is missing the Austin Grill emblem that it currently has.

^^^Haha, I wish... I'm still a kid in school, my dad bought it when I was young for us to work on and spend time together enjoying it. We have owned it for about 5ish? years, and now it's just time for it to go to another loving family.

The turning radius is what I thing made this such a great taxi. My schoolmate's dad in the early 70's had one. After a BDay party he took us all home in the Austin and it still had the light on the roof that looked to me like a hat and the fair machine still worked inside the front.
Very cool and I wish I was in the position to take a serious look.
Best of luck on the sale.
