This is a really nice older built De soto that is in great shape inside and out
steering wheel has cracks. .but the horn still works
the car runs and drives great we take it to local car shows and enjoy the car very much.
only selling due to no indoor garage space my other classic cars that are more valuable take priority if we had the room we would keep this cool ride.

the exterior is straight and clean with no rust.
powered by a all original 273 Hemi V8 with a auto/clutch fluid drive 2 speed automatic that shift great pretty fun to drive just old school cool..
paint is old but still shows well it has a few small chips around the truck area and front of the hood from being used
the paint is 2 tone the body is a dove grey and the top is a mild blue with a pearl over the entire car looks really nice
the hood is louvered the front head lights are frenched the rear taillights are frenched and the attenas also with gives this car a great lead sled custom look
the car has been lowered and has skirts added gives it that really low look but I still have no problem getting her on a 4 post lift or going to the local oil changers and driving right over their lube pit.
I just had the car serviced with new oil and filter, rear diff, coolant changed out and zirks greased
I just installed 4 new 235/75/15 coker wide white wall radials.they have under 100 miles on them.
this car also had the 6 volt charging system rebuilt with a rebuilt generator and a new voltage regulator and a new red top 6 volt optima battery never have starting issues and lights are bright we just replaces all the bulbs and headlights with new high powered 6 volt lights amazingly bright
we just packed the front wheel bearing and seals and front brakes.
chrome and stainless is in good shape. .not show quality and not perfect but very nice..
body is great shape no dents or dings no waves no rust
paint is good again not a show car very nice driver I get people with the thumbs up all the time.
I had a friend drive it the other day and I wanted to see what she looked like driving away from me and coming back...car is a true eye catcher and looks great going down the road..
the suspension has been lowered about 3 but still rides nice
the frame of the car and underside of the car is rust free she has spent most of her time in the garage when not being driven.
We took this car on trade for a 55 chevy truck I had for sale and have not had her long and I do not know much of the history of the car other than what the guy told me was his brother owned the car and was in indoor storage for many years and passed away and left the car to him and he got the car back on the road a few years ago and wanted a 55 1st series truck I had one for sale and we did a trade I finished all the expensive stuff like tires, charging system ect
