I'm relisting hoping a better description will help. I bought this car a year ago to turn into a cool cruiser. The car ran when purchased but had a miss. The car had two burned out valves so a complete valve job and machining was done. I ordered a complete gasket kit and as the engine was being put back together new head gasket and any other gasket were replaced with new ones. the ignition switch was bad so a new switch and key were ordered unfortunately it was not the right one so the car needs a new switch. The car has not been converted to 12 volt so all the original wiring and 6 volt system is still in place. The car comes with a brand new six volt battery. a new set of plugs are in the car but I have not installed the new wires or distributor cap (both come with car) the engine will need to be filled with fluids before start up as it has not been started since the engine work. the work was done proffessionally at the machine shop with reciepts to verify. I can not guarantee it but I believe the engine to be the original, the number on the block is stamped with an "s" before the number and this is the Desoto division stamp. The paint on the car is about four years old and the interior about 7. please feel free to contact me with any questions and I will do my best to answer them
