I'm new to the old car scene... always wanted one, but could never find enough spare cash to buy a solid project. I just picked up this one locally, and she looks like a ringer. It needs tires, brakes, and a tune-up to get it roadworthy. It has 70k original miles, and I bought it from the second owner, who had planned on restoring it, but acquired two other projects and decided to cut this one. I read in another post about a '61 that the trannies in these act up... is that also true for this year? I haven't actually taken it for a road test, due to bad brakes. What should I start with once I get it trailered home?
Here's the listing so you can take a look at it:
