steering pump, new radiator and hoses, replaced broken exhaust manifold, new dual
exhaust system, 2”: lower block in rear and dropped front. Almost new Toyo radial tires with Porta walls
and new Polara wheel covers. Rebuilt all
6-wheel cylinders and new hoses, has factory power brakes. This car is very solid and rust free with
exception of lower rear qtrs. you can see in pictures. Drivers floor has minimal rust under drivers
feet ~ nothing to hide!
This car has
almost all its original paint but you can see some spot repair from past. The chrome grill and front bumper are in
excellent original condition. All the
stainless is in very good condition and what does have damage is very
restorable. All pot metal pieces ~ tail

none pitted condition.

steering wheel are in excellent original condition ~ all gauges and horn work
as well as lighting. Car still has original upholstery under seat covers and
driver seat needing repair. Original carpet
in back seat area and rubber in front. original headliner in tach showing minor
patina all glass is in good condition (tinted) but door panels needing some
repair ~ how good you want it ~ excellent cruiser as is ~ tranny works good but
leaks ~ motor runs good with light smoke and blow by ~ car sat for 39 yrs.! ~ it’s

many doors!
