This is an excellent opportunity to purchase an unrestored car that is 99% complete (missing chrome strips on tailights, interior light cover, spare tire rim). This car needs a full and proper restoration and does have some minor rust which is typical of a 52 year old original car. The low mileage shown on the odometer is probably correct @ 13,732 miles as the foot pedals and other wear surfaces do not indicate it has more. I have owned this car since 1993 and it has been driven sparingly as I have just too many cars. It has not been driven for four years. It ran fine, did not smoke, and the transmission shifted proprely. It needs a heater control which is available on ebay, and could use some brake work. The carpets were removed to reduce floor rusting.I have the original clear title (Virginia), bill of sale and the British Columbia registration. This vehicle has been part of my collection of Chrysler vehicles for years and I hate to see it go. These are very rare cars especially 2 dr htps that are top trim level Adventureres. I have the cross rams that were an optional extra to provide the engine with greater horsepower which I will include. Some additional small pieces are needed to make these work. I live in southern British Columbia Canada and will assist in loading this vehicle. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the purchasor.
