Wow, this one amazing old Century! Original black plate California car, built at the Southgate California plant. With the exception of one old re-paint, seat covers and carpet, this Century is 100% original and unmolested. The body is amazing, straight as a string with all its original, undamaged body panels, moldings and bumpers! Originally a two tone gray that is showing the original paint inside of every panel. From what I can determine, this car has never been hit, anywhere! Minor rust in one rocker due to trapped water. Fantastic optional equipment includes, auto transmission, power steering, power brakes,power windows,auto tune radio,rear seat speaker,day/night mirror, side view mirror and gas door guard. The car runs and drives GREAT! No smoke, no knocks, no slips,no slack, you just won't believe how good the car feels. All of the windows work although the rears near a little help, purely from lack of use. There are a few rattles and squeaks and moans and groans, but isn't it that way in all 57 year olds! I am 57! The chrome is all straight and undamaged but surely needs re-plating, the pot metal all needs re-plating, the stainless trim is all nice. The dash is nice and even the fan motor works, the headliner is intact, the radio does not work and the antenna mast is broken. All the glass is good except the drivers window and vent, which both have a crack. The tires are in good shape and all of the original jacking equipment is present. The trunk complete with its original cardboard and fabric. I would feel good about driving the car across country! The odometer show 38,000 miles and works, along with all of the gages. It runs and drives like 38,000 miles but I'll bet it is 138,000!On May-16-12 at 05:33:52 PDT, seller added the following information: * I failed to include that the car has what appears to be the original 322 Nailhead 4BBL motor that runs like a top. * I am asking that "0 feedback" bidders communicate with me by voice or email (jpete55@swbell.net/ 214-505-5005) or I will reserve the right to cancel such bids!
