I BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST FALL IN HOPES OF TURNING IT IN TO A DRAG CAR. DURING SHIPPING, THE SHIPPER DAMAGED THE REAR BRAKE LINE, SO THE DRIVER SIDE LINE GOING TO THE BRAKE CYLINDER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. YOU CAN USE THE E-BRAKE TO LOAD THE CAR. THE PERSON I BOUGHT IT FROM SAID ALL BRAKES WERE GONE THROUGH, AND REPAIRED AS NEEDED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. HAS RECENT NY INSPECTION STICKER ON WINDSHIELD. THE TAILPIPE ALSO GOT PINCHED ON THE END, SO IT WILL NEED TO BE CUT OFF BEFORE THE PINCH, OR OPENED UP. EXHAUST SYSTEM IS NEW. CAR RUNS AND SMOKES. 6 CYLINDER, NOT SURE WHAT SIZE. COLUMN SHIFTER. PAINT ON CAR IS ROUGH-HAS SMALL DINGS THROUGHOUT, SOME PAINT LOSS. CAR WAS DRIVEN DAILY, BUT IN MY OPINION, THIS IS REALLY A DRIVABLE PROJECT CAR. FLOORS NEED WORK, RUST IN SPOTS, 1 OR 2 SPOTS OF RUST THROUGH. RADIATOR HOSES HAVE SEEN BETTER DAYS, 2 NEW HOSES WILL BE PROVIDED. ENTIRE UNDERBODY OF CAR HAS SURFACE RUST. INTERIOR SEATS AND DOOR PANELS ARE ACTUALLY IN GOOD SHAPE. HEADLINER GONE. REAR SEAT IS THERE BUT NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED. TRUNK IS IN GOOD SHAPE WITH LITTLE RUST. DASH APPEARS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. ODOMETER READS AROUND 45000, DON'T KNOW IF IT ROLLED OVER. CAR SAT FOR 30 YEARS IN A NORTH CAROLINA BARN, SO ITS POSSIBLE ACTUAL MILEAGE IS 45000 NOT 145,000. CANNOT VERIFY. CAR HAS RUST SPOTS THROUGHOUT, INNER FENDERS, UNDER HOOD, SPOTS ON OUTER FENDERS, BATTERY TRAY. ALL LIGHTS HORN WORK. HAVE NOT STARTED SINCE LAST YEAR WHEN CAR WAS PARKED IN GARAGE. TIRES APPEAR NEW, RIMS GOOD, VINTAGE FORD HUBCAPS. ALL OUTER TRIM APPEARS TO BE THERE. NEW GAS TANK, PREVIOUS OWNER OVERHAULED CARB. ONCE BRAKE IS REPAIRED, CAR SEEMS LIKE IT CAN BE DRIVEN. GUY THAT OWNED IT BEFORE ME DROVE IT AROUND TOWN HENCE THE NY INSPECTION STICKER. CAR DOES NEED MUCH WORK IF YOU WANT TO RESTORE IT. FEEL FREE TO COME BY AND SEE IT.
