Its a pretty original car repainted at one time. New 17" big in little 5 spoke wheels and tires. The paint is fair. It has disc brakes, buckets, console, power top, power windows but is a non A/C car. Its an excellent drive as you restore car or just keep it as is and enjoy. Its very straight with minor dings and panel alignment is excellent. Chrome and bright work is some of the best I have seen on an unrestored car. Starts at the touch of the key and purrs down the road. It runs, drives and stops excellent. I have put about 400 miles on it in the last month. Its an old car and anything could happen but I would not be afraid to drive this on home to another state.

The interior is original with the exception of the bucket seat bottoms were repaired at one time. The dash, door panels, convertible top, and back seat are great shape. The front seats are showing some wear but not anything you would be embarrassed for someone to see at a cruise night.

It has an SBO with #5 heads. I have not looked for the vin on the block yet but I would be surprised if it was not original. The exhaust is new and have dual flomaster mufflers. Motor looks to be mostly stock but has a Edelbrock carb and intake on it.

What it needs to become a really nice car is a little body work and paint. The floor are nice and solid but the trunk floor could use a little patch work. Both front fenders need lower sections like they all do and needs a good bit of patching on 1/4s or 1/4 skins the inner structure on the car is all solid.

That looks to be in really good condition. Good luck with the sale.

 

Nice looking car.
Looks like it needs more interior work than exterior.
I see it has the 3-spoke rally steering wheel, too.

 

very nice.!!!

 

thanks!

 

This is a good looking car Richard.

 

Thanks its a nice cruiser

 

Nice,but every one i thought i was going to flip i still have.

 

It would not be hard for me to talk myself in to keeping this one and I may for a while if it does not sell but I just have to keep looking at my longer term goals and keep concentrated. Its going to take $50-60K to make my 54 what I want it to be and that is my focus.

 

Finally got to work on the car a little and added some good pictures.

 

Added a bunch more pics to the link tonight
