352ci 300 hp dark blue interior with light blue inserts vinyl. New white top Bought this to drive...and have. One 450 mile trip to Folly Beach S C this past August 2011. Car handles well and drives great.I restored a 55 years ago and have owned a 1958 a 1963 [ Principality of Monoco ] and a 65 coupe. Like this one the best, but circumstances require parting with her. Previous owner had car for 11 years and had complete brake job, new carb, new top work done. Since owning I have: new fuel tank new radiator, changed over to electric wipers, new tires [august 2011] , belts, hoses, white steering wheel, new front and rear emlems, along with new trunk gasket..not installed, new power top motor..hoses and new top cylinders. has new trunk liner aswell. new fuel pump and car rebuilt with a spare carb. various parts not put on car...door spears and a near new grill. body straight with some predictable rust.. right rear quarter rusted but have skin for it. rust to right of fuel cap on trunk lid. by no means a show car, but one you can drive and enjoy. needs a new paint job as the previous one wasnt perfect...paint dead, and the painter wasnt the best..left his glasses home that day! Car is priced to sell. great xmas gift. miles are 91741 as of 1 December 2011 . Car drives true and smooth. power to spare! This is not a show car. but is a great everyday driver. My intentions but just drove on nice days an special occassions.The girl needs new weather stripping and paint. . Door panels are fair, but may aswell replace. Seats are good but drivers could use a little attention. Rust at left rear wheel, but a new skin comes with the car. Rust on trunk above lisence plate. Ex wives,,,girl friends...and college tuitions require the break up with this fantastic bird. No reserve, so bid well and enjoy your new friend. Its 52 years old and showing her age very well. Buy it to drive and take your time finishing it up as far as youd like to go. I have many more pictures and will be glad to send. please specify area of car youd like to see and I'll glady email alonbg with dates taken
