It has factory electric power windows. The lower Half was painted a metallic green in the 70’s with gold accent in side moldings spears. The roof is factory white.
It was running before I started to restore it, but the front suspension rubber control arm bushings are dry rotted. I pulled the motor out and all the engine components, It’s is ready for the fire wall to be painted and install all the suspension rubber and hard Parts. I will include the complete new suspension kit, all new upper and lower ball joints, tie rods etc. including all new polyurethane bushings. I also have spare tail lamps and housings.
It’s as close as you can get to complete car. No major parts missing, with the exception of a few emblems. All the parts from the engine compartment are sorted, bagged and tagged in the trunk. The grille is in the back seat, headlights and grill trim also bagged and stored in the trunk. I removed them as not to damage them while working in the engine compartment. The engine block and transmission are inside my garage.
The Car will need a complete restoration. It was my Mom’s car, purchased in 63 by my dad who was an employee of the dealership. She never liked to drive, as a child, I never saw her drive it. My dad drove it once in a while as a manager he was always provided a demo car to drive My older brother used it for a short time after coming back from the Vietnam War. My parents gave it to my younger brother. I purchased it in the early 80,s from him. It broke down on him and he damaged the front bumper towing it home, It was a simple loose lead in the distributor. He did not like it and said it used to much gas. I drove it intermittently in the 80,s and then it sat till I started a restore a few years ago, but became ill and don’t have the ability to restore it. I would love to see this rare car restored, it’s time to sell. I have the original bill of sale and all the paperwork and original keys going back to 1964 when my dad bought it. This car has never left New Mexico. For Serious buyers, I will send you a video of the car including and paper work to back it up
