Power steering and power brakes, "toilet sea" trunk. aero steering wheel, big back window "sky window", original Plum Red metallic car that was once repainted black (not a good job,very thin). This car has been of the road for some time and will need a resto, the sons of the original owner were going to restore it but found out they were in over their head. it will need a trunk floor, lower rear fender and lower front fender patches, all available after market. This car was sold new in Atlanta and has been a GA car all it's life. frame and suspension is perfect, a couple of rust through spots in the front floors about 2 or 3 inches in diameter, there is no rust in or around the cowl area, rain gutters, windows,or firewall area.there is some rust on the lip of the passenger side trunk lip. I have all the stainless for the car and it's in great shape, a few dings mostly on the trim arond the coves on the front fenderson, but it is 53 years old. This is an original 361 Golden Commando 395 car, it does have the special air cleaner, the original Carter four barrel carb.The motor is stuck from sitting in the previous owner's garage for 18 years, but is absolutly complete along with the transmission.

Since this car was delivered to and sold in Atlanta it's very strange that this high dollar car for it's day was not optioned with AC, especially considering the brutally humid and hot summers we have down here, and none of the 54 383 commando cars produced were optioned with AC. I have not contacted the Chrysler Historical Services to order the original IBM punch card that would confirm this car as a 383 car, so take all this for what it's worth, The person I bought it from had the car in his garage for 18 years and bought it from the original owners, He swears up and down after talking with them that it's a real 383 car, so this may be 1 of the 54 produced. Since the motor doesn't have any VIN info like the later cars, I can't be certain that this is the original motor, but a knowledgeable source informed me that 1960 Desoto's were produced with 383 motor's that had 361 casting numbers like this one. The source told me the casting number is for an industrial 361 which would have a thicker casting and would easily take the overbore from a 361 to a 383, as you can see, all the 395 Commando motor parts and the red block with the gold valve covers and the special gold 395 air cleaner, the dual point distributor, the Carter AFB are all unique to 395 Commando motors.
