A few notesinstalled a large oversized radiator and stronger electric fan car runs smoothly and cooly even on the hottest of summer days. I also installed brand new premium car battery.
Car was estimated to be worth 25k!!!
Car is washed monthly and waxed about every 3 months and is alwaysgaraged
The dash has a small crack which is easily fixable but never had the time to fix it properly. It would take less than a day to fix or have fixed.
Reasons selling. I honestly don't want to sell this car it wasoriginally a buy fix and flip car but since restoration, I've come to love driving it to church and the occasionalcar meet. Though, earlier this month myfiancé was involved in a hit and run and selling would greatly help with medical expenses. I love this car but family comes first and a car is just a car.That being said I won't just give the car away but I am motivated to sell hence the starting bid and no reserve. My phone number will be in the VIN. I will not travel and cannot due to 2 dogs and now bedriddenfiancé and working overtime. I can help get a estimate on shipping if needed but will not help pay for shipping.
A little about the car.Car was owned by a friend of the family. It is originally from Maryland and made there, and basically lived its whole life there. From there it sat for sometime in someones garage. One of those I'll eventually restore it stories. Friend acquired it and basically rebuilt from the ground up. Frame was taken off and resprayed. The frame was not cut up or hacked job. It wasveryclean car to start with. The shell was relatively clean. Unfortunatelythe quarter panels were to rusted to restore so they were cut and replaced. Bumpers and glass were still in great condition so they were notreplated or replaced so they do show some age but give the cara lot of character. Then it was sanded and repainted white with 5 layers and given pearl ghost stripes. The engine was weak and barely functioning so from there it was replaced with a 454 that was sent out and rebuilt by a reputable shop. From there it was properly mounted and installed and from there weslowly fitted everything in that was needed. What we couldn't do we sent out to professionally shop electrical and driveshaft.From there the goal was to make a nice weekend driver with functioning headlight andtaillightsturn signals etc. The car does not have power steering and the we decided to remove the ac to clean up the engine bay. From there my father took a liking to the car and traded some things around and we ended up eventually owning it from our friend. I'm sure I'm forgetting things and don't recall the exact specs on the engine. If you have any questions don't hesitate to message. I try my best to work at home to helpfiancé so that allows me to message relatively quickly. If you would like to make an offer please message me and we can go from there and have the okay/wife/funds ready.Car is listed locally too and I reserve right to sell whenever!
