Exterior
Body appears to be exceptionally nice. There is no evidence of repairs. The gaps line up well probably better than factory. Bumpers chrome very nice condition, they also are aligned nicely. All stainless looks excellent. The hardtop is in very nice shape painted India Ivory. The paint has very nice brilliance and looks great with the contrasting Regal Turquois lower body and wheels. There are a few small imperfections only noticeable at the closest inspection.

Engine Compartment

Engine number F55GC=265 V8 w/overdrive manufactured in Flint. The motor is dressed in chrome, aftermarket carb as well as period correct valve covers. Original exhaust manifolds and radiator give the engine a more original appearance. The charging system has original type generator. The engine compartment is very clean and shows well. There is no documentation stating whether or not it has been rebuilt or not. All of the gauges operate as new the motor has very good oil pressure. The charging system is working correctly and the car rans at the expected operating temperature. The Air conditioning was added in the 80’s operates as it should and is a Freon system.

Frame
The frame/chassis is very clean. No signs of rust or previous repair. The body mounts appear to be original. The car sits like it should. No noise from what appears to be original rear end which has a 4.11. The transmission is an original 3 speed with overdrive it performs flawlessly. There is a little bit of a fluid leak from the power steering, very common for a car not driven regularly. The brakes stop as expected without any issues in fact better than most new cars. Tires are older bias ply mounted on steel wheels with very nice factory original caps with matching spare in trunk.
Interior
Interior is excellent with original dash, carpet and seat covers I believe are original. The door panels are original with speakers added sometime in the 80’s. Nice vintage 80’s equalizer under the dash. The steering wheel is the original and looks very nice. The gauges are original and look to be in very good condition. They all seem to work correctly. The radio has been upgraded to an aftermarket type.

Overall
The car runs very well starts easily both cold and warmed up. The car drives very straight, rides well for an early car like this. Would ride even better with an addition of radial tires. Very nice car in a great color combo. Clean rust free detailed frame with a little soap and water would look new easily. Excellent original interior looks great.

This color combo looks great says All American, it has so much eye. This car looks even better outside in the sun light than in the ad pictures. Additional pictures and video’s available upon request.
