Description

I picked this up with big plans for it but I just don’t have the time. 352 w/ 4bbl carb. Automatic. Console with buckets. AC (complete but untested). It’s an awesome cruiser. It starts, runs, brakes, steers, and drives well. The interior is in amazing shape, not sure if restoration occurred or if it’s all original. It may be original but I’m not sure. All interior is there though and it’s in excellent shape. Very little surface rust on underside. Exterior had a repaint and looks nice. Engine sounds great and dual exhaust is pretty quiet. Exterior lighting works, and most of the interior lighting works including the door lights.
It was a vinyl top car and the previous owner must’ve left the vinyl top soak with water before removing, because there are some holes on the roof and the trim was removed from the rear window(I have the trim). Overall the roof is structurally sound on the sides/structural parts but the top middle area is thin and has holes. My plan was to patch up the holes and then put vinyl top back on it, along with headliner. This is really the only negative about the car. I’m sure good body guy could sort it out but that’s not me. It’s very odd to because the interior seems to be unaffected by this.  The exterior is solid with some minor rust bubbles in a few places but overall is a Head Turner.
Random notes:
Manual brakes
All glass is good
AC is all there but I connecting it to turn on. Not sure if It needs a charge
The Trunk lock cylinder was drilled out and can be opened with a screwdriver. The car came with three new lock cylinders.
Ignition cylinder sometimes becomes loose and can pulled out, but it fully works
The carpet looks great under the floormats
The carburetor could use a tune as it takes a little while to get the car warmed up.
Lots of new parts installed recently, such as hoses and starter solenoid. The carburetor looks like it could be near new.
It came with the missing horn trim ring and parts and need to be installed
Box of random parts and some uninstalled trim pieces.
Passenger rear tire has a slow leak, it goes down after a few weeks.
