Hello and thanks for viewing. Up for auction is my work in progress. I recieved this Car from my Grandfathers estate. Its been in our family over 30 years. This is not "show car" ready. A lot of work is needed. I've done some work with it. Paint - Interior - Wheels and Tires, Total $11,000. put into it. So please view the pictures closely. The colors are purple and white. There are 2 areas on each fenders that have damage to the paint job. ( I was taking the hood off when it slipped and scratched both fenders) Shortly after getting the interior done the drivers side front door stop working. ( does not open). I drive the car around town and I noticed that after it gets warm, itstakes a few key turns to start it up. ( possiblly needs a starter). Other than that the the car is driveable and the engine is strong. The odometer reads 33000. I know for a fact that this car was built here in the San Francisco Bay Area (Oakland, CA), and It sat in my Grand Fathers Garage for almost 15 years. As you can tell I have done nothing to the engine and trunk area. I would say plan on rebuilding engine and transmission just because its all original. Everything seems to be in good shape. This vehicle is ready for continued restoration. there are no major rust problems, although there are minor rust areas on the bumpers and the undercarridge. Please if you have any questions don't hesitate to drop me an email before you bid. This car is 55 years old and needs further work if you want to be an everyday driver. This car is being sold AS-IS. Note: I would say that this is a perfect car for someone who plans to work on it and to continue its restoration. Thanks again for viewing and good luck. Buyer is responsible for shipping charges and arrangments. On Feb-04-11 at 10:22:15 PST, seller added the following information: Just added pictures of underneath the car. No way to lift the car so its the best I could do from the ground.
