Description of 1963 Ford Fairlane 500

This car is in all original condition with only 40,000 original miles. It was bought new by my great grandfather in '63 and has been in my family since new. It has always been kept in a garage except when I took it out to cruise a few times a summer, but two years ago I parked it under a car port and it sat ever since. I hate to see it sit like that so it's time to sell.
This car has the 221 V8 and 2-speed Ford-o-matic auto transmission.
Right now it will start but won't stay running. I imagine the carb needs rebuilt from sitting for the last two years, but I'm not a mechanic. Recent new parts include front shocks, brakes, plugs/wires, fuel pump, and gas tank. The tires are about 12 years old but the car was only driven about 1300 miles since then. They hold air and aren't dry-rotted.
Everything else on this car is 100% original from the paint to the interior to the wheels, etc. Heck, it even has the original trunk sticker. This car was never hot-rodded and as cliche as it sounds, it was driven by a little old lady (my great grandmother) until 1999 when I inherited it with 38,000 miles. I've taken it to car shows and cruises in those 19 years, but that's about it.
There are rust spots on the bottom front fender on both sides, which is a typical result of sitting. The frame, floorpans, and everything else are completely solid with no rust-through. This car was in Arkansas from 1963 to 1999 then followed me around the south since then so it's never been exposed to salt.
It wouldn't take much to make this a historical show piece and I'm hoping to sell it to someone who would appreciate it from that standpoint. Delivery is available and can be discussed. $250 deposit due through Paypal 24 hours from winning bid. Please ask any questions before bidding.
