1960 DeSoto Adventurer 4 door hardtop. Only about 2600 made. Nice body and undercarriage. I got the car out of long time storage. We found some receipts from california in 1971 showing 20 gallons of premium fuel at .45c per gallon. I had my guys go through it and remove the carpet, clean the trunk, and spend 2 days cleaning and scrubbing just to get a look at the body, floors and interior. It turned out pretty good. The glass is all good with exception of the drivers door glass that has a 4" crack in the bottom front. The floor pans are good except where your heal of the foot goes for the gas pedal. The frame rails are in nice shape. We changed all the fluids, cleaned out the tank and lines, replaced the points, cap, rotor and wires. We then put a new battery in it and used a little brake clean and it fired and ran really well. We then changed out the stuck thermostat and coolant, adjusted the parking brake, filled the transmission and checked the rear end. It runs, drives and shifts very nicely. The brakes work, but they will probably get adjusted before too long. The body is in nice shape and so is most of the chrome. The headlights, turn signals and brake lights work. We changed over the generator to an alternator. We also changed out all the coolant when we changed out the thermostat. On the highway there is a vibration from 65mph up. I suspect the tires. They are full tread, but they are old. The swivel buckets work correctly but the covering is shot and so are the drivers side springs. The trunk lip rusted- not the trunk lid- and the door seals are all rotted away. The dash and instruments are original and in good shape. All 4 wheel covers are with the car and in good shape. It appears someone started to sand the car to paint it a long time ago and then just gave up. It appears everything under the hood is intact and original. This is just a neat old fin car that would not take a lot to make it a really nice driver. Take a look at the pictures and if you have any questions give me a call Thanks Bart 763-712-9088
