Description

This car is 100% original from all that we have seen and were told. There was one overall re-paint in the early 80.s The main body panels are all original to the car except a repair to the passenger side quarter panel from way back in the late 60's. Very solid clean car overall with no rust outs found anywhere, with only one spot the size of a silver dollar in the driverside lower inner trunk hidden area where a puddle of water sat at one time. The re-paint is older & some cracking on the upper rear deck lid and behind the rear window flat area with paint checking. This all could easily be repainted and "blended in" with the India ivory white color. 


All Glass:  Glass is EZE-EYE original LOF very good shape, front windshield is also still the original with just a few small rock chips over the years with no stars. All windows operate up and down nice and doors, trunk, all close and open tight. Window Fuzzies are still good no rattles while driving.

Mechanics: The 53,300 mile seem to be the original mileage as stated y old owners for many years. The cars overall condition seem to verify this but we have no documents. The car runs quiet ,smooth, engine idles smooth, transmission shifts out great and has no known issues.

Interior: The Interior of the car is all Factory Original with all seats, side panels, dash, and interior component's all appearing original, with very minimal to no wear. Entry welting and cardboard are in great shape for the age as a true survivor with minor scuffs. Note, Headliner has one small snag by rear dome light, drivers side, 2-3 inches.

The Trunk area: is all original with a original spare tire, bias ply wide whitewall 6.50 x 15 original U.S. Royal Tire, Original jack and rubber trunk mat. The main trunk floors are all rust free with just some small surface stuff, all just cosmetic. 100% solid car with no rustouts (except the silver dollar size) hidden trunk lower drivers-side rear lower shelf. The entire underside, floors, braces, frame, are all solid and original. (see pictures!)

Overall Options & Conditions: ULTRA RARE GM Factory AM "WonderBar" Original Radio with speaker, it seeks still  when warmed up, and plays, dash clock is there, does not work at times, heater works, vents work, defrost works, odometer and speedo all work, gas gauge works, heat guage works, blinkers work at dash and exterior, parking lights work, brake light works, high beams work with red dash indicator, dash lights and main light switch dimmer knob work, heater fan works on all settings, emergency brake good, Main braking are drum brakes, brakes good, trunk lock works good, ignition switch works good, tight, glove box lock & light good with nice inner cardboard box original, Door dome lights work, Main front and rear seats are strong still firm and comfortable nice original cushions.

Overall Chrome & Brightwork: Chrome work is very nice, still in top driver quality. The stainless trim is also in great shape with just a few imperfections. The Bumpers are straight and as are the bumper Guards. Everything is there and can all be show quality if desired in further restoration. Pot metal is all very good no bad pitting. Hubcaps are good driver quality.

The Paint:  The Paint rates at a 6.5 - 7.1 out of 10, due to age and old application with several very small defects, sanding errors, overall for any type of show standards. Paint looks better just due to the great original Body panels that are very straight overall and rate 8.9 - 9.3 for great lines. The worst area is the rear fit of trunk lid to body panel sides. The top of trunk lid has 4-5 small spots needing paint repair touch up.
