I am listing this car for my uncle who has decided it's time to let go of his car. He hasn't driven it a lot over the past couple of years, despite having had a number of major repairs making it a nice driving car. Having been in Upstate New York for a lot (or possibly all) of its 62 years, one would expect it to be a rust bucket. However, looking underneath I was pleasantly surprised by how original it looked. No spray can restoration. Just original looking, non rusty undercarriage. I have included a few pictures. It has obviously spent most of its life protected. There was a bit of rust in the lower fenders, rockers and behind the driver's door, but that was properly repaired with metal a few years ago.The exteriorwas recently repainted the original blue, but not the door jambs. It has a nice sounding newer dual exhaust system with glass packs. The front end was rebuilt with all new bushings less than 1,000 miles ago. Also the transmission has been totally redone in the past 1,000 miles. From my test drive, I thought it drove quite well. It hasbeen upgraded to a 272 Y-block (vs. the original 239) and has a new 2bbl carburetor. No leaks.
It could really benefit from some detailing attention and front end chrome work. Or if your really want to take it to the next level this is a good candidate for a serious restoration as the car is very solid and a desirable body style being the Club Coupe vs. the2dr sedan.
Give my uncle Don a ring at 315-813-4095 for more details.
The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early.
