Vehicle Detail
1959 Dodge Coronet Ambulance converted to an ambulance by Memphis Coach Co. back in 59 for the US Military Specifically DMAFB here in Tucson. shows 14k on the odometer and thats believed to be original. A VERY RARE Piece of American History parked in 1965 and left in a plane hanger here in Tucson for 20 yrs. Motor I believe to be a 383 big block. Pushbutton Auto transmission. PB , a very rare option for 59. Motor wont turn over by hand, but we did spray some seafoam down each cylinder a few weeks Ago. It may loosen up with a little work. All the glass looks great with the exception of a chip out of the front windshield. Original jumpseats and Military ID Badges still in the cockpit and interior. What youll see in the pics below are: mild rust in some easy to fix areas lots of surface rust and crumbling original thick conversion paint etc. Only real rust is dr side rocker and some floor areas. Still unusual for an Az car but it came from the rubber floormats on the inside. 90% complete chrome and trim still intact and very presentable condition. mild hood and front end damage. Torsion Bar front suspension - excellent for modding ! original hardware still under the hood in engine bay sun beaten interior with chrome still very nice and much more ! Im sure maybe a handful of these still even exist and restoring it would be pleasure for anyone. Restore it to original or maybe turn it into a 59 Coronet "Ghostbuster" Style rig. Maybe "Christine" should of been this car instead ?!! Could make for a great Prop in a TV Movie or used for a Limo Service for special events !! Check out the pics and then look for more info AFTER the pics etc. LOW RESERVE Im sure I left something out, but please email us with ANY questions. Car comes with the stock blue 14" wheels on it and just roller tires. If winner wants the 15" 71 Challenger stock steelies and dog dish caps and rings, they are $400 more with nice BFG tires. The U.S. govt didnt give us a title with the car just a bill of sale, and we can give the new owner our bill of sale too. Apply for a title in your own city , its easy and doesnt cost much at all. Our FEEDBACK speaks for itself. Can help ship out of the USA but keep in mind NO TITLE for this beast. Please check out all the pics, let them load and if You have ANY questions, please ask ! We wont reveal our reserve, but its what I consider very fair. Car will ship as INOP no problem. If you need a shipping quote, email us !! If there is a winner, please email me when the auction ends and say "Hi" and we can take it from there. I bank with B of A which makes things easy for many out of state for payment. direct deposit or Cashier checks must clear before car can move. Its a sign of the times, sorry. NO PAYPAL, sorry. Must be paid within 10 days of auctions end. Car needs to moved and shipped within 2 weeks of auctions end unless other arrangements are made. If you need a shipping quote, ask me I can help. I have several sources we have used in the past. We wont work with DAS, they are horrible !! Our feedback speaks for itself. Please email us with ANY QUESTIONS before auction ends. We respond within a few hours all the time day or nite. Our cars dont rust, just like the USAF Planes stored here in Az for 50+ years.
