Excellent condition for 66 year old car (zero rust)! Of 16,000 cars built, only 1,600 cars were made with the 3-speed manual overdrive transmission (more rare option) with about a 700 RPM drop! Power Steering, Power Brakes, Convertible Top and Power Seat were also ordered in 1955 by original owner! Hardtop has a lift sling! Mileage quoted is total miles after completion of the restoration! Guessing car has 108,831 miles! Extensive tech library included with car! 90% finished after spending lots of time and money; needs to be dialed in (engine not started yet)! Drove car with original intake and 500 CFM Holley 2-barrel 4 6 months and ran fine! Recent hand surgery (with more needed) has forced me to hang up my wrenches after working on cars for 60 years! My doctor said what's more important, use of your fingers or your car? Current NADA average retail value is $58,540 but, am willing to sell at a substantial reduction since car will have to be towed! There is real value in this classic due to my misfortune; I am currently upside down with a $10K loss! Somebody with mechanical skills and/or a favorite mechanic will quickly finish my project and get a lot of instant equity at such a low purchase price! Car is garaged in Shalimar, (northwest) Florida! (850) 461-4921, can call or send text if interested! With so many robo calls, I may not answer unfamiliar numbers so a text is probably more desirable!.
