40 to 50% restored (opinions very), ground up
restoration. Started some years ago.
Original color was dark green based on color
code. Has a totally original re-machined to
specs Straight 8 Stock Engine.
(Engine has not been driven to accumulate any
miles since rebuilt, its brand new) runs
perfectly. Re-finished woodgrain style dash,
re-stored steering wheel, restored gauges,

Drivetrain has been restored with original
replacement as needed parts. New white wall
tires, re-finished wheels and hub caps. Lots
of re-plating and replacement plated parts
where needed. A second set of new tires never

details. Fair price of $4,600.00. A new motor
alone could cost $1500 to 2K, Have title.
last registered in the state of Virginia.
Restored finished value 40 to 60K.
Note:
I have been involved
in this car since we started it. I can
assure anyone that all details of restoring
this car have been taken with great
appreciation to keeping it year dated and
stock original. (With exception
on the color still early enough to pick your
own color) If we couldn't restore a part, we
had it sent out and re-done professionally.
Some body work done as well as the fenders
were all lead sweated and/or had sheet steel
used to repair it all done by a (30+ year
auto body specialist). Some smaller parts may
have spots of filler used to repair it but
that would be very minimal. The engine was
done by a certified machinist and put
back together following all GM book specs
down to the proper torque. I can provide some
helpful guidance and information. If you need
other pictures, please let me know I will
provide you with them. 5/15/24 updated
description, added some additional
pics. 2/23/24 added more pics of fenders to
go on car and extra (spare parts fenders,
front doors, hood, bumpers) last 4 or 5 pics.
Not pictured also included, transmission,
engine parts Camshaft, Cam, Head, block, body
trim and more. You will be getting a nice
good solid car.
Please only interested purchaser's of the car
should respond to this add. Cash and Carry!!
