Vehicle Detail

I have a 1960 rambler American Custom, It has the OHV 195.6 engine auto trans, with everything else manual, brakes,steering,windows ect. It was fixed up in the early 80's then left to sit after a brake failure in the early 90's. I purchased car and did some work all around including new brakes, paint, headliner, replaced the two front door panels and kick panels, ( have materials to do the rear)worked on the wiring, new carb,fuel pump, cleaned gas tank. The car has some rust but not much. Not much on the floor at alI, worst is in the rocker panels. It was sanded and bondo to cover. should last for a few years. I never intended it to be a show car just a driver. Paint is ok but not perfect (great driver cond.) Interior same not perfect but driver cond. The engine is original number matching. I have a clear and clean title. the car is not licensed at this time. Last year i took it out to a small show and on the way home the transmission started to leak at a pretty good rate. The trans was not run out of fluid just got a little low 1qt. The leak seems to only do it when driving as i see no signs when sitting idling away. I have not jacked the car up to look any further as winter was coming it was just stored in the garage. The car drives very nice, no play, drives straight did 60/70 mph down the highway easy. The car is a project but a smaller one to make it back to a driver again. I would personally pull the engine and freshen up the bearings and seals, and change the transmission seals as well. Although the engine runs well doesnt smoke or or knock or use oil, the oil pressure is a little low at idle about 12lbs hot at idle and about 25lbs hot going down the road. After this it should be a great car to cruise with. The car is showing 35000 miles sure it has flipped once before. Again it was being fixed up to driver status not a show room car. Most everything works lights, wipers, original am radio, gauges. Reverse lights work but stay on all the time so they are unhooked. Windshield washer not hooked up but is there. Spare tire mounted on bumper does not have the cover. Buyer is buying as is and no returns or warrantee. I will meet with shipper, but will not arrange shipping for you. Car will run and drive to load unload. I suggest trailer home till the fluid leak is delt with. Deposit is non refundable, payment to be made in full 7 days. Car can stay here in dry garage stored up to 3 months as long as it is paid for. Any questions please ask. I forgot to add i have some extra parts to go with, 4 extra doors, a complete set of glass minus the windshield, interior trim, new front shocks, brake pads, correct hub caps, a bit of misc parts and pieces that i have collected over the past 2 years. Thank You
