This sat for thirty years. It was pulled out five years ago with 66k on it. It has a new trunk and tank. New brakes and master cylinder. New Autolite carburetor. These parts have about 5k on them. I added the wheels and tires last year. They have about 1500 on them. Factory four barrel dual exhaust car. This is not a show car. It has dings in the chrome from everyday use in its past life. It's not a race car either. I do run it on the interstate once in a while, but I would not use it to rob a liquor store. Drives like a 50 year old car. It's never left me stranded. It sat for 30, so some stuff does not work. The clock does not work, no horn and no low oil pressure light. The cold and alternator lights work. When it was pulled out of storage and previous owner tried to start it there was a carb fire. Hood has been repainted and some wiring repairs. The car is from Iowa, there has been some frame repairs in the front under the doors. Over the rear axle could use some attention some day. I replaced the tail seal in the tranny and found out it is from an older model. The kickdown lever for passing gear is stuck down, but the tranny still shifts fine.
