Final 500 for sale in Romeo, Mi

[guy48065]

Looks like the end of the line for this member. I've owned 2 Auroras and I'm so happy that I lucked into a low-miles F500 for my 2nd. It's been a complete pleasure driving this car...and I drove it daily, racking up over 213,000 miles.

I'd like this to go to an enthusiast who will give her the TLC she deserves.
Car is located in Romeo, Mi.

It's possible that the no heat problem can be taken care of by flushing the heater core.

Probably.
Ever try to take the squeeze clamps off from their position buried in the firewall? There's an expensive special tool for that. I couldn't do it. Neither could the mechanic I took it to.

Some engineer needs to hang for ALL the stupidity of the heater core placement.

According to the 2001 FSM, that tool is made by Kent Moore, their # J38185. See it here.

Those are ordinary hose clamp pliers. There isn't enough room for the jaws to open. The tool I refer to is a long tube with narrow jaws at one end and a hex nut you turn with a socket at the other. The mechanism is internal.

No matter. Like every other car I've owned, it's the rust that causes me to give up.

Bump.
$800
I'm not going to let it sit and be in my way come winter.

Do you still have this car? I want a parts car.
