Vehicle Detail
Original, California Black Plates, numbers matching Car. Perfect start to a restoration, or drive it the way it is. Some original literature comes with the car. See Pictures. Humorous Enquiries Only . . . This is a fun car. This is a drivable car. Not a Barrett Jackson, but not a junker either. This was my daily driver up until a few years ago. The body/paint is in original condition, with a few rock chips and smaller scratches and minor rust. I show pictures of the worst of the rust. The interior is rather clean, but faded. Power windows still work. Cool as hell drum style speedometer still works. temp and gas gauge non responsive. Stock 425cu engine came rated at 385 hp and 475 ft-lb’s of torque. This engine and tranny run strong and smooth. Engine fires off within the first few revolutions. One lifter taps until warm, then quite after that. Power breaks work great. In fact, the drivers front seems to be working a little too great, because the car has begun pulling to the left slightly when the brakes are applied. Drum brakes all around. I'm sure they need a little attention if this is to be a daily driven car. Please look at the pictures good and close and let them answer most of your questions. The kimono is open. Look at the engine pictures. Everything is original. There is no paint on the hoses to make them look new, or any of that other deceptive crap. It is what you see. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I am happy to have anyone stop by and look at the car, or verify the numbers if you wish to do so. Again, this is a numbers matching, California, black plate car. Vehicle shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.
