for sale

Price: US $4,494.44

Description:

Two owners in the last 35 years.
Power steering, brakes, top, antenna///REBUILT motor.
This engine is very smooth running & has good acceleration. Probably not more than 1000 miles on it since rebuilt.
A classic with very low rust, efficiently working top, rebuilt original motor, smooth auto trans, the ORIGINAL interior door & back panels not needed to be done, starts faster than a modern car, quieter than one, some important power options, better than driver condition, etc, etc.
* *NEW Battery, terminals, filters. * **Top works perfectly & correct with the new battery. Top original hydraulic operation has no glitches or unexpected slowness (the motor & pump can be seen in engine compartment picture).
Starts (easy even if it sits 2 weeks), accelerates, & shifts quietly. Still starts with gas pedal push. Still 6 volts; positive ground. Starting is so easy the 6 volts doesn't seem to strain.
Body & Paint: solid body metals in floors & trunk (as able to see from underneath). Some bondo used on rocker in front of driver side rear wheel. The inside Splash fender areas & wells are rust free. See the added top down/windows up picture. All the glass is perfect as well as chrome-stainless framings. Windows roll up/down great; fairly snug up against top rubber seals. Vent windows open easy & close tight. Doors close nicely with hardly any effort & have good allignments with NO drops. No rust at the bottoms or skins. Chrome headlight visors were added. I do have the chrome Ultramatic insignia emblem which would go on the trunk lid.
Interior & top: The top material is as pictured needing a small repair & a plastic window replace. Top clamps nicely with very little effort. The windshield header is chrome perfect; no dents or rust. Sunvisors are in nice conditions. The seats are original & all have even/good spring support, but will need recovering someday.
Engine: A straight eight original REBUILT flathead motor. Smooth operation, no oil smoke, does not overheat.
Transmission: Original Automatic-shifts as if it is 10 years old; not 62.
Stability: Stays fairly true on road, but does have steering wheel play, but may be simply the power steering* yes, power steering! The power brakes seem very safe
Gauges: These are working-gas, charge, added oil pressure & temperature are mounted below dash. Back-up lights do not work. All other lights, horn, heater blower motor, Speedometer, power antenna work. Heater is hooked up .
POWER OPTIONS: STEERING, BRAKES, TOP, & ANTENNA (THE ORIGINAL RADIO IS NOT WORKING AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME). 1517 out of 71079 production.
