This is a PROJECT car I bought from a couple in Colorado and had shipped to my builder in Watertown, South Dakota, 57201. The pictures I've included are from the previous listing when I bought it in late-2012, and they are all that I have. I live outside the US and can't readily get more pictures. If you have specific questions, I'll do my best to get a timely answer. What you see is what you get, and the mileage is unknown. I haven't had it running; so I can't say for sure what shape the engine or transmission are in. I have no reason to think that either is bad, but after sitting so many years, I'd expect that one or both need some attention. It's not a Grand Sport car; so the rear end (if still original) would be a 3.23:1 open (non-Posi) differential. The driver's seat is missing, but I know of a place in California that probably has one. There is rust in the passenger-rear quarter, but my builder didn't seem to think it went into anything structural in the trunk. He also said the inside of the front lip of the hood looked rusty & thin, but that shouldn't be to hard to fix for someone who can do the metal work themselves. A replacement hood probably runs $250 or so. The only other damage I'm aware of is on the rear panel where you can see it's a bit dented. The front bumpers need re-chromed, but the rear bumper and tail lights are excellent. Most of the interior & exterior trim is there, but there are a few side & rocker molding pieces that I can tell from the pictures are either missing or bent. These aren't too hard to find, but if you want to make a hot-rod out of the car, you can play around with cleaning up the look. That's all I know about the car's condition. I do not have a title, only the bill of sale I received from the couple I bought it from. For a car this old, most states don't require a title, but you should definitely check your state's laws before bidding/buying. I'm only trying to get back most of what I have in the car; so here's a chance to pick up a cool project for not much money. Good luck bidding.
