Present owners bought the car over 40 years ago shortly after it was repainted, had a new top installed, and the interior was redone. The actual mileage on the car is not known because the odometer has not been working since, they purchased the car. They believe it has been driven less than 4,000 miles during their ownership going to local car cruise events.
Mechanically, the 283 V8 starts easily and runs smoothly. Recent work includes the carburetor being rebuilt, cooling system flushed, and the oil changed. Dual exhaust was added, and the power steering was rebuilt about 12 years ago. There does appear to be an oil and a transmission pan leak, not sure where. Otherwise, the car steers and shifts fine.
The interior is in good condition with no noticeable tears or rips in the upholstery. Currently, the power top does not work, but it did at one time. The padding on the dashboard was added by a prior owner and looks good. The factory gauges function, but the gas gauge does not register correctly. Speedometer functions, but odometer does not, radio and heater controls do not work.
Exterior glass is in good shape except for a ‘Bebee’ hole in the windshield (see photo). There is some bubbling on the vent window glass. Windows roll up and down easily. Exterior chrome is in good to fair condition.
Outside lights including brake and turn signals function normally.
The paint is starting to show its age and there is some bubbling on the lower sections of the doors (see photos). All the floors appear solid, but the extent of bodywork is unknown.
The car is being sold as part of an estate and there is limited documentation.

While we do our best to provide quality cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. We have not built, modified, changed, or personally owned this vehicle. Even though this vehicle is being sold by Kurzmann’s Auto Brokerage we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we do welcome 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories, and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 20 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 12 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles on the internet without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
