IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW !!!
In 2005 the car had a completely new wiring harness installed, complete brakes and the carburetors rebuilt. The fuel system was drained and a comprehensive tune-up was done to get the car running at peak performance.
The work that was recently done included a complete Tune-Up and Ignition Coil. The carbs were rebuilt including new floats. The brakes were attended to and replaced or rebuilt as needed, all brake shoes were replaced. The Master Cylinder was replaced. Lower Control Arm Bushings were completely replaced, due to age & cracking. The Cooling System was attended to by replacing the thermostat, radiator cap and radiator support mount in addition to a complete set of hoses. The fuel tank was removed, cleaned out and a new fuel pump was commissioned. The wheels were removed, sand blasted and powder coated. New radial tires were installed.
The dash, door panels, carpets and seats are all in solid shape and match the other elements of this complete and solid interior. (Note: It was very bright out when I took the pictures and there was a lot of glare on the gauge faces, they are not cloudy, just glare from the sun and direct light) The gauges are in wonderful original condition.
The body on this machine is near perfection with no visible signs of ever having been touched. This pristine bodied example screams virgin. All panels are flat and free of dings or dents. Look at the close up pictures of shut lines on the doors & hood and I think you would agree. In person it is much more obvious, especially if you grew up looking at cars from this era. Original cars like this are simply automotive artwork in this type of condition and becoming increasingly difficult if not downright impossible to find these days.
The paint is 100% original and in exceptional shape. It is flat and vibrant in the sun or shade. Normally these original paint cars have some degree of decay, just from years of not being covered or left out in the sun. This is not the case here, this car simply sat in a garage with a cover over it for over 46 years that we know of. I cannot accurately describe just how nice and original the body and paint are on this genuine factory example.
Mechanically the car starts right up and does not smoke. The engine performs well at all speeds and has plenty of power. It was recently tuned and the brakes were addressed and stop the car with authority. I have sat in traffic and it does not heat up. This would be a great car to vintage rally… as it is comfortable, strong and a capable performer.
