YOU WILL NOT FIND A NICER DRIVER/SHOW CAR THAN THIS SUPER 88 2 DOOR HARD TOP. THE 371 CI, 300 HP "J2" ENGINE RUNS GREAT (RECENT OVERHAUL). I HAVE THE FACTORY AIR CLEANER AND IT GOES WITH THE CAR. THE JETAWAY 4SPD HYDRAMATIC TRANS .RUNS AND SHIFTS SMOOTHLY. ALSO EQUIPPED WITH P/S AND PB AND NEW DUAL EXHAUST WITH "FLOWMASTERS" AND NEW STAINLESS EXHAUST TIPS, AND A ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP. THIS IS A VERY SOLID CAR WITH A SOLID NO RUST FRAME, FLOOR PANS AND TRUNK FLOOR. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH P205/70R14 70% TIRES THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THIS CAR IS THE BODY. ITS VERY STRIGHT, NO RUST AND NO BONDO. THE CHROME AND STAINLESS (BUMPERS, MOULDINGS, EMBLEMS ETC.) ARE NEAR PERFECT. THE ONLY FLAW IN THE BRIGHTWORK IS MINOR PITTING ON THE REAR SIDE WINDOWS FRAMES. THE FENDER SKIRTS ARE STEEL. THE 3 TONE INTERIOR (RED, WHITE, AND BLACK) IS IN GOOD CONDITION , STRIKING,AND APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. THE PAINT LOOKS PERFECT IN THE PIXS BUT IS WHAT I CALL A "5 FOOTER." FROM 5 FEET AWAY THE PAINT DOES LOOK PERFECT BUT A CLOSER LOOK REVEALS IMPERFECTIONS. TO MAKE THIS BEAUTY TRULY A SHOW CAR WOULD REQUIRE NEW PAINT. THE GLASS IS IN GREAT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE SMALL CRACK IN THE LOWER REAR CORNER OF THE DRIVERS DOOR GLASS. THE FACTORY RADIO IS NOT WORKING BUT A AM /FM CASSETTE IS MOUNTED IN THE GLOVE BOX AND SOUNDS GREAT. THE FACTORY CLOCK WORKS. AFTER MARKET OIL PRESSURE AND WATER TEMP. GAUGES ARE MOUNTED UNDER THE DASH. THE SPEEDO WORKS BUT RUNS FAST(POSSIBLE SPEEDO GEAR PROBLEM). THE CAR RIDES AND DRIVES GOOD AND IS VERY RESPONSIVE (HAS A "PERFORMANCE" REAR AXLE RATIO) THE J2 CARBS ARE SET UP CORRECTLY WITH AUTO. CHOKE WORKING ON CENTER CARB ONLY AS PER FACTORY SPECS. THIS IS A GREAT 54 YEAR OLD HISTORIC (ONLY YEAR WITH 3 PC REAR WINDOW) CLASSIC CAR. IT IS MY INTENTION TO KEEP MY 100% FEED BACK RATING THEREFORE I HAVE GIVEN AN HONEST AND COMPLETE DESCRIPTION .
