This is a nice, low mileage '53 Chevrolet. It only has 63k original miles on it and is in excellent overall condition. The car runs, drives, and looks very good. The body is straight without rust issues. All original body panels with nice floors, trunk, frame, rockers, spare tire well etc. This is NO Bondo buggy and the nice body is one of the main reasons I bought it. It has had only one repaint and is still it's orginal color. Paint is older (done about 1980) but still shows/shines very nice with some here and there touched up chips etc but no bubbling. Interior is stock and is nice and clean. To my knowledge, everything on the car works- including lights, turn signals, gauges, wipers, horn, radio, and heater (not sure about the clock). I added a set of (4) new seatbelts with the old style chrome airplane latches. The drivetrain is original to the car and in good working order. The motor is the factory 235 c.i. 6 cyl and the transmission is the original 3 speed manual. It runs and drives very good. It will get in the mid to upper teens for gas mileage and I drive it quite regularly, probably 3 or 4 times a wk. It always starts right up, runs cool, holds good oil pressure etc. It is dependable enough to be your daily driver if you want. I drive it alot and am not afraid to go anywhere in it. Brakes and full exhaust have been re-done not too long ago. All glass is in good shape with no cracks. The windows roll up and down normally and it has a factory Fulton visor. I added a few teeth to the grill, including a gold one. It is sublte and I love the look but it/they are easily removed if not to the new owner's taste. Tires are wide white wall bias plys with probably 75-80% tread left. I am pretty sure this is a 210 model with Bel Air trim. I bought the car with plans to cut it up into a custom but have decided against the project. I planned to have the top chopped, suspension drastically lowered via modified Mustang II, and to swap the original drivetrain to a tri-power 348 w/ auto transmission. I have been driving the car stock for the last year or so and realized that this one is just too nice to take all apart and cut up. It is too cool like it is. I usually have hot rods that are so drastically lowered they are nearly undriveable. This one has been fun being able to use it as a normal car. It seats 4 comfortably, doesn't bottom out or scrape, therefore you can go anywhere, has a big trunk, doesn't guzzle gas, is dependable and just fun to drive. I can answer most any question you have on the car so please don't be shy. The car comes with a clear Ky title in my name with current insurance and registration. Questions? Offers?
