1962 Buick Lesabre 4dr hardtop low miles, nice driver-must it get scrapped?

Buick LeSabre 1962 Description

Hello. Up for auction is my 1962 Buick lesabre 4dr hardtop. The car runs and drives beautifully. but does need a new battery. Battery holds enough charge to drive. just not starting. I have a battery-tender charger on it for when I drive it. Now that battery is shot. Body is fair to good with work and paint done about 8 years ago. The paint is not a top dollar job. but makes a great 20-footer. Some rust starting to bubble through on lower rear doors and wheel wells and couple spots on pass front door. The odometer stopped working last year so there is really about 200 more miles on the car than it says. Car has power brakes and steering and radio still works. Seats are in great condition and I've had covers over them to keep them that way. The rest of interior should be redone due to mold. I've recored the radiator + heater core. rebuilt the starter and generator. new voltage regulator. recent tires. stainless steel exhaust. stainless steel brake lines. rebuilt all brake cylinders with new shoes. also installed braided stainless steel flex hoses. I just put a new carb float in as the last one failed. Center driveshaft bearing has been rebuilt. Fuel gauge does not work. wipers and lights do. car also comes with a trunkload of spare parts that my family hoarded over the years. Most parts you would need including NOS lenses and mechanicals are there. This car is a nice driver and would make a great restoration project. I no longer have the time and need to downsize the fleet. The car has an R-title because I purchased it through a "Mechanic's lein". It was abandoned at a garage over 8 years ago when last owner just didn't pay his shop bill. I've had it registered and on the road since 2007. No reserve. first bid can win it. car weighs over 4500 pounds and at current prices worth the starting bid in scrap. Bring along a battery and you can drive it anywhere. if you can not make the deposit. do not bid. Will entertain offers as I would like to move on with my life. I need to buy a work car as my commute is getting much longer and this HAS to go first. Scrap rate is better than offers received so far. That is a shame as this car is usable as it is and they don't make these anymore. Non-paying bidders have dragged this out longer than needed.

It likes higher octane fuel than the "economy" version of the time.
