BEEN IN STORAGE FOR 24 YEARS AND STILL HAS ABOUT AN INCH OF DUST ON IT. TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAYLIGHT SHE HAS SEEN SINCE 1989 WHEN SHE WAS PARKED. THE FLATHEAD V8 HAS BEEN STARTED OCCASIONALLY AND IT RUNS GOOD. IT WAS REBUILT 10 YEARS AGO AND NEVER DRIVEN. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WORKS AND THE BRAKES DO TOO IF YOU PUMP THE PEDAL A FEW TIMES. YOU WON'T DRIVE FAR ON THE DRY ROTTED TIRES BUT THEY DO HOLD AIR. THE FRAME AND FIREWALL ARE EXCELLENT AND THE TRUNK IS ALSO VERY GOOD. THERE ARE A FEW HOLES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR THAT NEED PATCHING BUT THE CAR DOES NOT NEED FLOORS. THERE IS A LITTLE RUST AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS AND FRONT FENDERS BUT PRETTY MINOR STUFF. THIS WILL BE A VERY EASY RESTORATION.THE HEADLINER LOOKS REAL GOOD LIKE IT MAY HAVE BEEN REPLACED, THE DOOR PANELS ARE FAIR AND THE REST OF THE INTERIOR IS SHOT AND SEATS NEED RECOVERING. THE DASH LOOKS GOOD AND ORIGINAL AND THE ORIGINAL PUSHBUTTON RADIO IS IN THE TRUNK AND PROBABLY NO GOOD.I CLEANED OFF SOME OF THE DUST AND IT LOOKS LIKE ORIGINAL PAINT. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SCRAPES DOWN TO BARE METAL AND I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER LAYERS OF PAINT OR ANY OTHER COLORS.......I DON'T RECOMMEND BUYING FROM PICTURES SO COME ON DOWN TO SUNNY FLORIDA AND CHECK THIS OLD GIRL OUT.I CAN HELP WITH TRANSPORT ARRANGEMENTS IFNECESSARY. I'M GOING TO RUN THIS CAR ONE TIME LIKE IT IS AND IF IT DOESN'T SELL I'LL SPEND SOME MONEY ON TIRES AND CLEANUP AND RUN IT AGAIN IN HOPES OF MORE MONEY. THIS IS A REAL EASY RESTORATION ON A SUPER SOLID CAR. IT STARTED LIFE OUT IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND HAS BEEN IN FLORIDA IN A BARN MOST OF IT'S LIFE.TIRE KICKERS AND LOW BALLERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AND ALL OFFERS AND TRADES WILL BE CHEERFULLY CONSIDERED NO MATTER HOW RIDICULOUS.IF YOU HAVE TO CHECK WITH YOUR WIFE BEFORE BUYING PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN CHECK WITH MY WIFE TO SEE IF IT'S OK TO SELL. CALL STEVE WITH ANY QUESTIONS AT 772-201-1905 TILL 10PM EASTERN TIME.THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOD BLESS.On May-18-13 at 06:58:36 PDT, seller added the following information: RESERVE DROPPED TO $4500. DON'T HESITATE, THIS IS A BARGAIN FOR THIS CAR
