Vehicle came out of Mass. Previous owner has had the car for quite some time and was slowly restoring it in his garage in his spare time. Recently, vehicle was sanded down to bare metal and repainted professionally, then wetsanded and buffed out. Interior is nearly all new, including door panels, carpet, headliner, seat foam and seat covers. Engine bay was cleaned up and dressed up with some chrome, motor and transmission were tuned, brakes were serviced, new exhaust/mufflers installed, new gas tank installed, etc etc. Overall there have been countless hours spent on this car and it is still not perfect, but a very nice high end driver.

Body is VERY STRAIGHT with excellent original gaps. Doors open and close nicely. 

OPTIONS:

Manual steering

Manual drum brakes

AM Radio

14" steel wheels with correct hubcaps wearing whitewall radial tires

Fender skirts

Dual exhaust

Bench seat interior

Under the hood lies a mostly stock factory original 283ci V8 with an upgraded 4bbl. intake and carburetor and a RARE 3 speed manual transmission on the column. Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great along with the nice and throaty dual Flowmaster style exhaust system. Transmission is solid and shifts good without any noises or grinding and clutch is still good. I drive the car about once every other week for short trips around down or every once in a while I'll take it to a cruise night on the highway. It has never let me down and always performs great. 

Interior is basically ALL NEW. Seats were redone professionally (new and correct seat foam), NEW carpet all around, NEW door panels, NEW kick panels, NEW headliner (could be tightened up a little more), good dash that has been repainted original red. Overall beautifully presentable for a high end driver.

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in VERY GOOD shape throughout, but it is NOT a $20k paintjob, so it will have minor imperfections here and there upon close examination. Body is very straight but does have some filler by lower doors, rockers and lower fenders, while rear lower quarters had metal patch panels installed. Chrome bumpers and outer trim could use upgrading/replacing throughout to bring the car up to the next level (same for inner trim like window cranks, dash trim and smaller pieces like that). Missing: spare/jack, sunvisors, rear seat emblem. Not working: couple of gauges work on/off and not accurate (speedometer needs new cable), may need a bulb or two replaced here and there, radio (not connected), horn. Underside has had some sheetmetal patches by rear floorboards (old floors weren't cut out yet), they are solid but should be redone with stock panels. Trunk floor also has a patch by center section, but very solid. All weatherstripping should be replaced. 

So overall she is not perfect and will need some form of TLC depending on how nice you want it to be and what you plan to do with the car. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a GREAT LOOKING TURN-KEY DRIVER then this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need some work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.
