i love this car but i live in the city and have no place to store it and work on it. it's been sitting for 12 years. the engine is spins freely there is fuel or spark issue. solid car. needs a new home. make an offer! the engine is not seized. it turns over, just doesn't stay running.there are quite a bit of cosmetic issues...rust creeping in.but to get it driving again you can ignore those and enjoy the car, or that's what i was going to do.when i drove it regularly i got about 19 miles per gallon.i've also had the car over 100 MPH on the highway.i drove it to chicago and back without an issue, chryslers at carlisle, and pretty much every as my daily driver in boston for years.things you need to do to get it driving:• fix the front driver side door so it opens. the exterior handles is not releasing the star wheel. i can't figure it out. (that's why the front seat is out)• replace the battery• buy new tires• drain the fuel• patch the driver's side floor (from water leaking in through the space in the window and the rear window gasket, or cover it with a new rug like it was before)i was going to get seat covers from jc whitney and leave the seat as they are. the fabric is awesome.it's a relatively rare car, a four door hard top (no post between the fron and back doors). looks cool with all the windows open...like a convertible with the top up i'm told was the idea.it beat chevy by a year with the fins. everyone thinks the 1957 chevy bel air was the first car with fins but this one was.i'm no motor head and i got this running before. it's fuel delivery and spark. right now there is not a spark, the fuel needs to be replaced being so old. it does NOT have a hemi. push button automatic transmission.for about eight hundred dollars you can bolt on disc brakes on the front and solve any stopping issues. a project i was going to do, but i still don't have a permanent home for the car in the winter. this is where it's at starting wise: https://youtu.be/KANln7rjqVY the engine moves freely (obviously) more pictures detailing the problem areas:more pictures there is a hole in the floor on the driver's side that was there when i got the car.the rear window has always been a problem and contributes to the floor issue with water getting in.a guy on ebay sells the two part window seal if you want to take the window and fix the rusted area. the rear passenger dog leg has always been a problem and is getting worse, but not critical, except to aesthetics.
