I have owned it for eight years, y parents the previous 12 years. A friend ten years before that. It was sold new in Clay Center, s. June 23, 960. This dealer was "Marshall's Inc." Clay Center, ansas. It changed hands on Jan. 2, 962 with around 15,000 miles. These owners had a business vehicle and did not use the Chrysler much. It was sold back to the original dealer April 12, 978. Many of these years, he car was kept in storage. It was sold to a private collector named "Lacer." March, 981. It then sold to Odell Buttram of Topeka, ansas.My friend bought it from him in March of 1984 with approx. 55,000 miles. He re-painted the car the original Petal Pink with the Terra-Cotta top. He also added carpet and re-padded the dash. This car sat in storage for about four years while I was dealing with my aging Mother's health issues. The thirty year old paint has held up well. The original interior is still beautiful. The factory AC works, ut needs charged. The AstraDome dash does not light. Brakes have been rebuilt, ncluding lines, aster cylinder and brake booster. Gas tank has been boiled and sealed, ith new fuel sending unit installed. Two barrel carburetor has been rebuilt. New fuel pump, oft fuel lines replaced. New dual exhaust. Front end re-built. This car shows a little surface rust as shown in photos. The beautiful two-tone paint has very few blemishes and presents very nicely. As far as I know, t has never been smoked in. The bias-ply tires are 25-30 years old, ut show no weather checking of dry rotting. The original spare is still in the trunk. Original deck lid, pare parts and manuals are included. This car received two awards at two small shows last summer and attracts a lot of attention wherever it is taken. I am selling this car, ecause I need the space in my garage. I always become very attached to my cars and this one will be hard to part with. They all become members of my family.
