Car was an old show car, with very well done Black Cherry paint job and redone black and white vinyl interior. Very good looking car - take to your local car show with pride. Engine has rare alloy rocker covers and chrome air cleaner. But work was done at least 20 years ago , and paint is showing a few blemishes. Mechanically it is largely original. Starts, runs, drives, and stops well. You can drive it home - wherever you live. Original Dynaflow shifts well, does not slip or leak excessively. Tires have good tread , but are too large for the car. Rears are oversized for that “hot rod” look. Exhaust has glass packs and is a little loud, and there is a leaking exhaust manifold gasket. Body is very good - solid floors, trunk had some rust spots, so I replaced it with a repro panel ( I am a car builder ) , rockers solid ( some lifting of small patches is evident on a hoist ) , underbody is clean with no rust holes. Right rear quarter has a slight scratch with some paint cracking. All chrome on the body is excellent except for the tail light bezels. Chrome wheels have some light corrosion. This is a very good car to drive as-is , or a great start for a custom or restoration. This car has been in my collection for over 10 years , and was always going to be the next project , but race cars and customer projects always got priority. We are now moving, and I need to reduce the fleet. Really is a very nice car, but I need to price to sell quickly. It is a 55 year old car , so is sold as is without guarantees. Shipping is on you , but I will work with you to get it shipped. Any questions, send me a note. Thanks for looking !
