Other than original

This car was upgraded from a turboglide to a powerglide within two years of new.

A glass pack was installed 10 years ago to give smooth rumble.

Not original style (tar top) battery

Not original water pump ( have original for repair and reinstall)

Not original voltage regulator, replaced recently.

The car was repainted before I bought it 30 years ago. The original color scheme was Ivory over Inca Silver. The roof is now Inca Silver also ( which I and most everyone else feels looks better, more sporty.)

As far as replaced items go:

New Carpet

New rear window (cardboard deck)

This car has it’s 55^th Birthday this year and with that comes customary and reasonable wear and tear that a classic car without a frame up restoration and price comes with. Below are items I would consider issues that a prospective buyer would take notice of. Pictures of such “blems” are attached for your viewing.

Car was painted over 30 years ago before I purchased it and has a few chips around trunk lid.

A few paint nicks, nothing striking, and some traditional bubbling of paint on the driver roof gutter area that plagued this model for some reason and there is a spot on the driver front fender needs attention.

Some surface rust on the under carriage…nothing concerning.

No through and through rust, and no noticeable dents.

As mentioned, the car has a very rare attribute that gains a lot of attention at car shows. Original plastic “bubble” seat covers that are in very good condition. Only two wear areas, one is the driver seat and the other is the top of the rear bench seat were the sun has dried the plastic to the point of breakage. All this damage was done prior to my purchase and has not advanced in 30 years.
