Vehicle Detail
Excellent running car, garage stored year round, driven only in summer months. New PA. inspection on 8-13-2012 and newly tuned, new spark plugs and points. PA. inspection shows tire tread at 6/32, front brakes at 9B/32, rear brakes at 6B/32 (bonded brakes). New master & slave cylinder, clutch hoses, pinion seal and rebuilt carburetors installed 8-25-2011, new starter solenoid installed 8-15-2010, oil change and filters on a regular basis. As a result of sitting and not being run on a regular basis during colder months, some blue smoke when first starting engine indicates valve seals may need replaced. Compression is fine, almost like new. No fluid leaks and no seepage around engine gaskets. This car is original except for after-market replacement parts when original parts were not available. Convertible top and tonneau cover in very good condition except as noted below. Battery is in good shape but does need recharged if sitting for a while. Right rear corner window of top has crack, drivers seat has seam split, new carpeting supplied but needs installed, drivers door leather stop is torn, some rust behind front wheel wells but rest of body is sound. Spare tire in trunk needs inner tube, but is mounted on rim. Paint is good but faded except right front fender that is more recently repainted when replaced a while back. Cowl has various signs of rubbing and chips due to bonnet binding during opening as a result of left (drivers side) bolt-on hood hinge is bent and creased and needs replaced. Photos do not show slight ripple in hood near cowl as a result of binding. Present owner is second owner of vehicle, purchased a few years after new.
