Solid original Southern California (Hemet) car that has been in storage since1967! The car was retired when the new car came into the picture so the story goes. It was in garage untill the 1970s then moved into an old shed on the back of the property. That is were it sat untill about 5 years ago. I have tried not to tamper with it's originality. The paint is the original as is nearly everything else. There is rust in only 4x areas drivers side floor pan, pass side floor pan, small area lower corner pass door(easy fix) and driver upper outer roof corner(small). The car will come with 2 new quality Buick floor pans which I purchased for it (prone to rust due to rubber front floor coverings). It will need interior attention as it's all torn up and brittle. Car is very complete down to all 4 wheel covers and the factory installed spot light! chrome overall good or better. Stainless mostly all nice, rocker trim molding is bent up (but there!). The rear bumper gaurd is bent but, I have another used complete bumper which will be included. The car starts right up and runs smooth.

All new. nos dash pot nos distributer cap new upper/lower radiator hoses and more... It is not too far from being road worthy again. It drives on my 3 acre lot without any problems as it is.
