New or rebuilt engine, transmission, linkage, brakes, driveline, fuel system. This is a well sorted car. All components work great together and the car drives down the road straight and dependably (and very quickly if needed). Stops great, rides comfortably and handles well. I drive the car regularly to shows and cruises and it has always stayed indoors during my ownership. Combination of preservation, restoration and survivor. Not a trailer queen and likes to be driven. Very docile when cruising around, light clutch action, strong brakes and light manual steering, but can turn into a beast with a heavier right foot.
The car was built in the Oakland, CA plant and was purchased from southern CA. Solid frame and floor pans although there is a pin hole in the trunk floor. Recent period style two tone cloth interior with white vinyl inserts and high quality original style carpet with heavy backing. Seats are comfortable and springs and padding show no signs of wear. All window registers have been repaired to glide smoothly and the vent windows operate smoothly as well. Floor actuated high beams, two speed wipers. Newer replica side mirrors, LED Tail lights for better visibility, new badges and parking light lenses. Bumpers are original but the chrome is a little dull. All the stainless is present, but only the rear fin pieces have been polished. Minor scratches on the windshield. Heater core is present but is currently bypassed.
Radio does not work, but is present. Paint is a 10 foot job with older single stage paint but holds a great shine and presents very nicely. Some chips, minor scratches in line with an older restoration. A solid Hot Rod that would grace any garage and will bring home trophies.
All receipts from my ownership provided.Best value on the web for this year and make.
I invite your personal inspection, or that of an agent. No brokers please. No trades.
No warranties expressed or implied. Working odometer reads 89,000+, but I have no idea of actual mileage. I have done my best to describe the car in its current condition, but welcome your questions. Additional photos available.
Very moderate reserve.

Please note, the car has been cross listed on a number of other web sites and I reserve the right to end the auction early due to other offers.
