THE STORY GOES LIKE THIS: IT WAS A WEDDING GIFT IN 1957 (PURCHASED IN TUCSON) AND STAYED IN THE FAMILY PRETTY MUCH FOREVER... THE COUPLE HAD A SON (WHO ULTIMATELY WOUND UP BEING A MECHANIC, WORKING ON AND MAINTAINING THE CAR) AND WHEN HE TURNED 16 AND GOT HIS LICENSE, RECEIVED THE CAR TO DRIVE TO SCHOOL, WORK, ETC. HE STARTED HIS FAMILY AND HAD A DAUGHTER AND WHEN SHE TURNED 16 AND GOT HER LICENSE, SHE RECEIVED THE CAR FROM HER FATHER. I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM HER UPON MY DISCHARGE FROM THE SERVICE THE BODY WAS COMPLETELY BLASTED AND PAINTED IN CLASSIC FIFTIES EPOXY BLACK AND I ADDED TRIBAL FLAMES ON THE FRONT END, TAPERING BACK TOWARDS BOTH EDGES OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS. THE FLAME PAINT COLOR IS AN "ILLUSION/CHAMELON" AND I BELIEVE THAT THE NAME IS CARIBBEAN. IT FLIPS IN THE SUN AND IS PURPLE, GREEN AND BLUE-ISH/TURQUOISE. VERY COOL. BLUE PINSTRIPES WERE HAND PAINTED AT THE EDGE OF THE FLAMES THROUGHOUT. NEW 2-BARREL CARBURETOR INSTALLED AND ORIGINAL 1-BARREL IS INCLUDED AS WELL. ALUMINUM BATTERY BOX INSTALLED, PAINLESS WIRING PANEL, PRO-MOD TYPE WING ON TRUNK, SWAY BARS ON FRONT AND REAR, BABY MOON WHEELS (CAPS NOT INSTALLED, BUT INCLUDED), BRAKE BOOSTER, CAR COVER WITH CABLE/LOCK/KEYS, BOLT ON WHEELIE BAR (INTENDED TO TIG WELD ON, NO TIME), AND LOTS OF CHROME AND ALUMINUM INSTALALED THROUGHOUT... THE ORIGINAL FUEL TANK WAS RUSTED OUT SO IT WAS REPLACED WITH A FUEL CELL (16 GALLON I BELIEVE) WHICH IS NOW MOUNTED IN THE TRUNK. NEW SENDING UNIT, FUEL GAUGE, ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP, ETC. SOME ROLL CAGE IS INSTALLED (WILL NEED TO BE TIG WELDED IF YOU PLAN ON RACING) AND ADDITIONAL CAGE IS INCLUDED WITH THIS DEAL. CURRENTLY HAS A KIRKEY ALUMINUM RACING SEAT AND MOUNTING BRACKETS (NOT INSTALLED, JUST SITTING INSIDE) AND INCLUDES ORIGINAL FRONT BENCH SEAT AND ORIGINAL REAR, TWO-PIECE SEAT. THIS DEAL ALSO INCLUDES ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN BOXES OF PARTS THAT I JUST NEVER INSTALLED AND ARE EITHER EXTRAS OR BRAND NEW AND I RAN OUT OF TIME. I WAS WORKING 70 TO 90 HOURS PER WEEK FOR THE LAST 16 YEARS AND NOW I HAVE RUN OUT OF TIME. SHE HAS BEEN GARAGED INDOORS FOR YEARS AND UP ON JACK STANDS (INCLUDED WITH DEAL) AND IS A LITTLE DUSTY. I CLEANED HER UP A BIT FOR PICS, BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT SHE RAN GREAT WHEN PARKED. I AM CURRENTLY CHECKING ON FLUIDS AND WILL ADD OR INCLUDE WHATEVER IT IS THAT IS NEEDED. THE TIRES ARE NEW, BUT ARE JUST TOO OLD TO BE TRUSTED ON THE ROAD IN MY OPINION. NOW THE DOWN SIDE: NOT MUCH. SIMPLY HOOKING THINGS UP WITH YOUR SPARE TIME. NEEDS BATTERY. PASSENGER WINDOW CRACKED FROM THE HEAT IN MY GARAGE THIS PAST SUMMER (YES IT GETS HOT HERE), NEW TIRES, FINISH INSTALLING BRAKE LINES. AGAIN, SHE CURRENTLY DOES NOT START AS THERE IS NO BATTERY AND HAS BEEN UP ON STANDS. YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE HER FLATBEDDED OUT OF MY GARAGE ONCE THE DEAL IS CLOSED. SHE TRAVELS WELL THIS WAY AS I HAD HER HAULED TO THIS HOUSE THAT WAY YEARS AGO.

SO I AM LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT PERSON TO TAKE HER AND FIX HER UP THE WAY YOU WANT TO... "THIS CAR WAS ONCE A DREAM OF MINE AND NOW IT BELONGS TO YOU"...On Nov-25-15 at 12:19:46 PST, seller added the following information: 4 Door Sedan, just in case you can't tell from the photos.
