Vehicle Detail
This distinguished automobile was purchased by my father in 1967 while he was stationed in Hawaii. He had it shipped back to the mainland and drove it to Colorado where it spent most of the next 33 years in the garage. It was shipped to NY in 2001 where it has been garaged since. I inherited the vehicle in 2008. It starts and runs well. It has had some brake work done recently with replacement of lines, but the master cylinders are not engaged and it will need additional work. There is some rust on the sheet metal that is readily visible in the photos. The interior is in good original condition. The car is eminently restorable, is intact, complete, and has never been in an accident. With the exception of the brakes, it is in operating condition. The original wheel covers are in the trunk. On Aug-02-14 at 05:09:37 PDT, seller added the following information: Clarification regarding brakes: they are nonoperational due to leaking at seals, but are not frozen. I mistakenly stated the lines had been replaced, but they have not, nor do I know if the lines even need replacing.
