Top down C-Code Comet with 289, power steering and 4-speed. Runs good. Engine is 289 4V Holley with 4-speed toploader and Hurst shifter. Originally Turquoise paint color with C-Code 289 2V with C4 automatic, power steering and factory AM radio. Has an aluminum Edelbrock intake, Cobra valve covers, good dual exhaust, good headers, large 1-inch front sway bar, 8-inch rear and nice interior. Top works as does lights, wipers, blinkers and heater fan. Motor sounds beautiful with good oil pressure and no smoke. Barn fresh with solid, straight body. This car was tastefully restored and put away for years. I flushed the old gas and drove this car today. All gears engaged smoothly. New ignition switch and key cylinder just installed. Good clutch but clutch pedal sticks down (bushing needs oil) slightly and so does the throttle so needs some love but solid car with much of the hard work done. Brakes are a little locked up (needs new wheel cylinders) from sitting, but drivable to load on trailer. Steering feels good and car steers straight. Nice original glass. Doors close good. Body looks real good and straight except minor rust driver rear quarter (see video) and dent on top of driver front fender (see video). Undercarriage looks rust free (see video). Cowl leaks some water. Everything works except AM radio and horn. Passenger door panel sticks when you open that door. Passenger door window stuck in up position and needs oil. Clean factory apron VIN stamp and sweet original driver door data tag. This is a nice, solid and unique hotrod convertible that needs cleaning, brake work and love. Ready for new owner and fun. Sold as is. Call for more info Rick (301) 779-0114. Buyer responsible for shipping cost and I will help load thanks.
