This is an original 348 car but the engine IS NOT original to the car. It is a 1959 348 judging by the date code (e859). It runs awesome I bought it as a rebuilt motor but I do not know how many miles are on it, the cylinders were still "crosshatched" and it runs great does not smoke, has excellent power and starts right up etc...Options include : Power steering, power brakes, 2spd wipers, tinted glass, padded dash, push button radio, and rear antenna. Im guessing its one of the most original 1961's left. Ive seen a lot of "basket cases" and a lot of fully restored 61's, but its hard to find an original example such as this. This sat for 20+ years inside a building before I acquired it I guess you could call it a "barn find". The body is original and it appears to have had some body work/ paint work done long ago as you can see a couple different colors that appear to be "spotted in". The front fender brows were recently patched/painted and new headlight filler panels were installed.The floors are solid trunk pan and floor pan both. There is a floor brace that has some rust thru but its not an issue. On the drivers side there is a dent below the gas door but it isn't anything terrible and it has a couple small dings in the hood but for the most part its a VERY nice car. It runs and drives. The transmission shifts very nicely and it goes down the highway great, may need a front end alignment. All the glass is in good shape I believe the windshield has a small chip. The doors all shut nicely and the windows roll up and down. I cant stress how clean this car is, the door jambs are in great shape as is the weather stripping and the wiring looks in amazing condition. Radiator was just boiled and repaired, all 4 tires are new, professionally rebuilt carb, new water pump, plugs, wires, cap and rotor, new master cylinder, rubber brake hoses and all 4 wheel cylinders and shoes, new carpet and package tray. The in dash clock isn't working, The wipers are slow to turn on and to turn off but work. ALL gauges including speedometer/odometer work. All lights inside and out. Headlights, tail lights, brake lights, backup lights, turn signals (self cancelling), license plate light, dome lights, and gauge lights are all in perfect working condition. $1000 deposit is due within 48hrs of listings end and the remainder within 3 days.
