Vehicle Detail

This car is my daily driver. Yes, it really is driven every day, with no problems. It has the factory 318, which runs perfectly, absolutely the best running car I've ever had. The original torqueflite automatic trans was rebuild by a reputable restoration shop three years ago. Factory power steering works great, factory power brakes, but the booster has a vacuum leak, so right now I've been driving around with the booster disconnected. I've actually gotten quite used to it that way. It could also use a fresh passenger side rear brake drum, as it's annoyingly warped. The shoes and wheel cyls, and lines are all very very nice, with no leaks or rust. It currently has a new set of skinny white walls on it, (I had planned to put port-0-walls over them). I have the other two '61 wheel covers to go with the car, as I will be keeping my Lancer caps. It has fresh exhaust manifolds, gaskets and bolts, and a very nice and tight dual exhaust with glass packs. Sounds fantastic. I use NO ethanol gas, octane booster, lead additive, and only high zinc non-detergent oil, and replace the filter cartridge with every oil change. It uses no oil and it doesn't leak. Interior is original and is rough. You can see by the pics. Dash is nice. Door panels are missing. Headliner is not original. Carpet is good. I've included a pic of what this car looked like back in the 1980's. It was gorgeous. Then it was sold and very mildly customized. At some time after that, the car sat for quite some time outside, and this is the result of that. It's a shame, but at least it's better now than when I aquired it. I'm hoping someone is able to restore it, as I need to concentrate more on my '58 at this time. The car does have lower outer body rust, however, there is NO RUST underneat the car at all. This is due to the time it spent sitting idle outdoors here in humid Florida before I purchased the car. Easiest way is to replace both front fenders, and the trunklid. The quarters can be fixed, as the lips are still good. The rockers are solid, as are the bottom of the doors. The rust is contained to the outer sheetmetal only, and really looks worse than it is. I'm sure I've forgotten a few things, so if you are interested, please ask questions, or ask for my phone number. Located in Ocala, FL 34470, can be picked up here. Must be paid for in full withing three days of the auction's close, and a non refundable deposit thru paypal within 24 hours.

Floorboards are extremely solid and original, no rust or patches ever. Roof and areas around windows are solid. Trunk lip where seal is is rust free.
