Vehicle Detail

This car is super solid, I bought it this spring to restore as a "BOMB" low-rider(((( but we blew up the motor in my race car and we need some cash,))), its all original with just about every part still there,,, parts not in pic but we have are the running boards,, clock,, mirror,, grill emblem,,, hood ornament,....,glove box liner,,, keys and we have an extra grill to repair the broken piece in the grill in the pic ,,it runs and drives great,,, the man I bought it from shipped it here from MASS. and its been garage kept in IL since.... the body is solid with no rot at all' and very little sign of any previous repairs ,,,its a straight 8 with a manual trans ' radio, heater,, extra speaker all factory installed,,, we pulled off the floor covering in the trunk and front seat area to inspect for rust and found the floors need some patches but only in spots ,,,,we also took down the headliner because it was rotting and turning to dust,,, but left all the stringers and all the hardware needed to replace it ... none of the windows are broken but a couple are starting to separate..the factory wiring is dry rotted so we isolated the factory harness from the battery and ran a simple circuit to run the engine and headlights ,,, it will defiantly need a harness ,,, we put in new plugs, plug wires and coil,,, it runs great,, the choke works the trans shifts great,,, the clutch is strong... the motor smokes a little. but everyone says its not noticeable when its driving down the street... it may just be all the junk in the cylinders from a long term storage,,, I can send a vid of it running if needed the interior is pretty faded and dusty but all there ,,I have the Illinois title,, its been signed over to me since I was going to keep it, but haven't put it in my name yet , so when it sells if you need the title I will pay and have a brand new title in my name the only reason I didn't do this yet is I was worried I wouldn't have a title to show people when they came and some states don't need a title for cars this old so don't worry I have the title in hand and I am still in contact with the man I bought it from,, CASH,, BNK CHECK OR POSTAL MONEY ORDER ONLY. I WILL NOT TAKE PAYPAL FOR THIS OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF PAYMENT ,,, I TOOK PICS TODAY OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE FLOOR AND THE SOFT SPOTS AT THE BOTTEM OF THE DOORS PER A REQUEST FROM A MEMBER HOPE THIS HELPS
