This Midnight Turquoise Landau hardtop with a luxury pearl white and aqua interior was offered in 1965 for a base price of $4589. Beauty beneath the skin included the 300-horsepower 390 V-8 backed by a Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. Power steering and brakes are standard along with Front disc brakes and sequential taillights. Production was 74,972 in 1965. This beautiful car has just about every option available. A/C - Blows ColdPower Windows do not all function Power Driver Seat functionsAll gauges work properlyAll lights work properly (including sequential tail lights)Original AM Radio is fully functional and has good reception Exterior: The paint is about a 6 out of 10. It was repainted in 1999 so it is an older paint job. There are a few chips here and there that have been touched up. It appears that someone backed into something at some point and there is a small dent in the bumper and the paint at the corner of the rear passenger quarter is cracked (See Pictures). The doors line up and close with little to no force at all. The car maintains the original Landau hub caps that were refurbished a few years back ($300) and has original style white wall tires on 15in rims. All of the tires are in great shape and have about 75% or more tread left. Interior: The interior is absolutely beautiful. I'd give it an 8 out of 10. The pearl white seats look like they did the day the car rolled off the factory floor. Both front and rear are free of any tears or stains. The door panels have both been professionally repaired. Both had cracks around the handle area. The repairs were done well but not well; one of them has already started tearing again. All of the gauges, the clock and the speedometer work as they should. The cruise control, driver's and the rear power windows are not working. I repaired both front windows when I purchased the car but the motor burnt out in one of them. The A/C blows cold enough to keep the car nice and comfortable in the Houston heat so there's not much need for power windows. Drive Train: The 390 runs great and the Cruise O Matic transmissions shifts well. 8 out of 10. You can cruise down the highway at 75MPH with no problems. I've driven the car all over Houston with the A/C blasting in traffic and never had any issues. Both were rebuilt about 8 years ago. There is a slight exhaust leak at the passenger side manifold. In the 4 months that I've owned the car I've found about 8 small oil spots on the garage floor so there is a slight leak around the front of the oil pan. I can't tell exactly where though. I think I have covered just about everything. This is a beautiful car that you can enjoy from the minute you get it. Take it to local shows or cruises and enjoy it year round. It is a 50 year old car so it in not without flaws. I've tried to list everything, but make no guarantees. I encourage you to come test drive the car if you are close to the Houston area.
