Purchased near Fargo North Dakota from an estate of an elderly gentleman who ironically purchased it from the original owners' estate in 1983. A very clean and garage kept car that runs and drives fantastic. We installed a 4 corner airride suspension to give the car a great lowered stance and a more comfortable ride. this is a procedure that we have perfected in the last 20 years of doing this type of work almost on a daily basis. unlike most systems that are on the road which leak and don't perform properly. ours is trouble free and easy to operate and there is no maintenance needed. if you like. you can just set it and forget it!! The car has an excellent body but before the new paint was applied. had its fair share of stone chips. a few door dings. and a couple of scrapes so at first we thought we would just touch up the couple areas but then deciding the car was far too nice to not to give it a show quality paint job. We straightened all the dings and scrapes. we smoothed all the stone chips and painted the car with base - clear urethane. It came out so nice most people would have left it alone but we again decided as nice as the car is. it deserved a wet sand and polish of the clearcoat. The paint is beautiful and looks a foot deep. When reassembling the car. we purchased new rubber seals for the doors and trunk. We installed new sill plates that hold down the original rubber mat. new chrome outside door handles and seals. We polished up the original dog dish hub caps and installed them on a new set of custom built 18x8" and 20x8. 5" Billet wheels available only through our shop. New tires installed at the same time. We color matched the center part of the wheel to give the car a factory but contemporary look. The interior is in very nice shape for its age. the front seat bottom is starting to show some age but being a survivor interior I would leave it as it for now. Everything works on the car. horn. signals. lights. wipers. etc. We installed a new exhaust. it still had the 52 year old factory system on it and we only changed it because we needed more clearance for the rear wheels. The fuel gauge was not functioning when we bought the car so we installed a new fuel sending unit to take care of the faulty gauge but we figured we may as well install a new gas tank since we have it out. A great little car that came well equipped in 1962 if you were a cheap old man. no radio. rubber mat. 6 cylinder with a 3 on the tree. Enjoy it as is or throw in your dual quad 409 or LS3 in it and have even more fun. If you have any questions. feel free to email or call me at PatinaPlantation@Gmail. com 216-789-1647 OK. now here is the part I hate to mention only because eBay has become a breeding ground for jokers and squirrels. This is serious business not a game. this is for adults with integrity. nbsp;not only me as a seller but you as a buyer. The last several successful listings I've had on eBay were non payers. flat out dreamers that thought bidding on eBay is fun and its no big deal to win an auction and than decide that they should have never done it whether they couldn't afford it or their wife wouldn't let them have it or whatever. There is a reason my feedback is squeaky clean. its because I HAVE INTEGRITY and I do the right thing. If you want to know the reserve. you will have to bid I know 100% that there are people who will not read the description and will call or email me asking how much. I know from experience those people will not buy this car or any car for that matter. they are dreaming for a great car for way under market and will troll ebay and never buy a thing. people who are serious will bid on the car. In my opinion the reserve is very reasonable. Those who bid and retract their bid will get blocked from any further bidding. Sorry for the rant
