You are looking at one nice 55 year old car. This is not some old junk that someone spruced up to sell. It comes with the original receipts and papers including owners manual. This car was well taken care of throughout its life and it shows it. Now that being said, it is a 55 year old mostly original car. The interior appears to be all original and although it is in great shape for its age, it is showing some stains and wear. I choose not to re-due the seats and carpet because I think they still look better in their original condition then they would replaced. All the gauges and electronics work properly and even the radio works. I have added a connection to allow you to use an ipod or exterior source through the radio. All the interior dash lights still work properly. All the glass on the car looks new and rolls up and down like new. The exterior of the car looks good but the paint is thinning out in ares and there are some chips and minor scratches, it has had some paint repairs but they appear to have been done a long time ago. Again I think it looks better than it would repainted. The stainless looks like new and needs no work. The chrome (and there is plenty of it, looks real good, only minor pitting on some surfaces, a lot better than you would expect. The under carriage is in great shape with no signs of rust, that is right , no signs of rust. The car has the 330 HEMI in it with the push button power glide transmission. I know you will think I am exaggerating, but the engine runs like new. I have changed the carburetor and air breather but have the original ones. The transmission shifts smooth and the car rides like a dream with no shakes or rattles. There or absolutely no problems with this cars mechanics and it does not leak a drop of oil from anywhere. The only thing you have to watch is on cold mornings you need to let it warm up a little. I hope the person who buys it has an appreciation for a nearly original 55 year old car.
