My best friend purchased this car from the original owner 14 years ago. The car was parked under a carport since it was taken off the road in the early 1990's. The car had been hit in the right rear quarter. The owner would not sell any parts off of it. My friend was a paint and body man by trade, he bought the car with the intent of restoring it. He had the car on a frame fixture in his garage. He had removed the right quarter panel, tail panel, back window, rear end and leaf springs. The car had been pulled straight and the right rear frame rail had been replaced. He had a complete right quarter panel from another car that was the same color. In 2010 he died from cancer. I helped his widow dispose of a lot of cars and parts that he had accumulated over the years. I knew she would have trouble selling this car in the condition it was in, so I bought it from her. A friend who runs a restoration shop helped me install the quarter panel and rebuild the tail panel. All the metal that was replaced has green epoxy primer on it. Other things I replaced on this car: Back window with new rubber Rear leaf springs with new bushings Deck lid with trim and emblem Rear tail lights and sleeves Rear bumper Brake master cylinder and all four wheel cylinders New spark plugs Rebuilt original carburetor This car is in very good condition. The interior is in excellent condition, the bucket seats are not split or ripped. The head liner is near perfect. The console is very nice and lid is not broke off. the carpet is a little faded. The dash pad is very good. The car runs and drives but I would not take it on a long trip as the brakes are a little spongy and the transmission leaks a little. I have a clear title in my name . I know that there is something that I did not say about the car but this is the first car that I tried to sell on ebay, if you have any other questions I can answer call me on my cell 502-548-9195
