I am listing this car for a friend and will try to answer questions you may or I can put you directly in touch with the owner. This is a complete running driving car, it starts easily runs smoothly and drives well. The engine has had a recent tune up and the transmission works just as the venerable Dynaflow was designed to work. All of the instruments work except for the fuel guage and the clock, the radio will come on but the antenna is broken so there is no reception. All of the windows work but the passenger side is hard to get up and down, the top will go down but is very slow to get back up without help. The top material itself needs to be replaced as it has a large hole in the middle and the rear plastic glass is milked. The body has had a good bit of work done to it to include replacing both outer rockers and repairing or replacing the floor pans, all of the glass is good to be nearly 60 years old. The body is pretty solid but there is some rust in the front fenders at the front next to the hood and the back of the inner rockers are rusty (not visable in the pictures because it is behind the rear fenders. There are various small dings and dents on the body but all of the sheet metal is repairable. The trunk floor is solid except for an area in the LH rear corner and the spare tire well. All of the interior is included with the car and would be usable to make paterns for a replacement. All of the trim is included, most of which is pretty straight and could be reused on the car, the right rear gravel shield does have some significant damge but could be repaired. It has had the brakes completely gone through and rebuiilt and the knee action shocks have also been rebuilt so both are working well. This is a good restorable car that is not a complete basket case. It has a clear South Carolina title. The actual mileage of this vehicle is unknown but is showing 21K miles. These cars are becoming very scarce especially in original unmodified condition so don't let this opportunity get away to own one of the last years for the straight 8 Buick.
