Stunning! Complete body off frame restoration to exceptional condition. Wow, the car has great style to start with and these colors put over the top. This car was part of an estate, it was one of the gentleman's favorite things. It's obvious the restoration was a labor of love. My family took some cars out to breakfast last week and we picked our favorites, my brother drove this one with no troubles.
EXTERIOR: Wow! That is a lot of steel that has been designed with smooth contours and sharp lines. It's rolling art. The body is laser straight with no rust or damage showing. Repainted to a mirror finish in beautiful midnight blue metallic and a silver metallic roof. There must be a small fortune in restoring the chrome and trim. Even the window frames are rechromed. The windshield and side glass were replaced. The weatherstrips were replaced. The chrome wire wheels wrapped in big white wall tires are the icing on the cake!
INTERIOR: Restored back to practically new. It's automotive art in here too! Just look at the beautiful dash, I would hang that door panel on my office wall. All the upholstery, door panels, headliner, visors are meticulously restored. The Vintage Air controls were cleverly put in place of the original, it also has a retro stereo and speakers in the factory locations. I could say so much more but just take a minute to look at the pictures and really notice all the designs, textures and style.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Completely restored and detailed. That is the original VIN # matching 364 ci. V-8 making 300 hp. It's obvious that every piece was apart and properly restored. There are several upgrades, the biggest being the Vintage Air heat and a/c system. It also has an extra electric fan on the radiator, upgraded from a generator to an alternator and a new electric wiper motor. Features include power steering and brakes along with an oil filter. Yes, a filter was an option back then!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jamb are painted slick. Inside has a new liner. Complete with a working light, jack and spare.
UNDERSIDE: I'm impressed! The body was off the frame for the restoration. The floors and chassis are spotless metal, not even pitted. It has been neatly painted black. The fuel tank and lines were replaced. The steering and suspension were rebuilt. New dual exhaust routed through the rear bumper. The brakes were rebuilt, lines and hoses rebuilt. Looking up at the motor it is spotless. The Hydramatic 4-speed automatic is the original and also looks spotless.
SERVICE: When we acquired this car, we gave it our inspection and rebuilt the carb. We replaced valve cover gaskets, exhaust manifold gasket, alternator, and heater valve. We fixed the reverse lights, horns, window switch, air conditioning and remounted battery correctly. There is no door key and new lock cylinders are not available.
What a great value. This isn't like restoring a Camaro or Mustang, it's much more expensive! Do you think you could have this restored for $200,000 at a professional shop? This one is done and ready for you. Titled as rebuilt.
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide is my professional opinion based on my experience with these vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
