[Deleted User]

The car is located in Lexington, Massachusetts. This vehicle has just recently seen the light of day after a long storage in a dry warehouse in Chicopee, Massachusetts. From what I have been told the car was taken in trade at Tellier Auto Sales in Chicopee, Massachusetts. The owner of the business then stored the car away back in 1974 and there it sat until I purchased it last year from the business owner’s son. This car is completely unmolested and is very original and has a clear Massachusetts title. It is equipped with a 262 cu. in. flathead six with a single barrel carburetor. It currently does run but not very well. Oil light is coming on and I suspect there is sludge in the pan. Brand new Optima battery in the car. It has a hydramatic automatic transmission. The color of the car is Texas Tan Poly with a complimentary Boston Crème roof. Body wise it is very solid. There is some slight corrosion around the stainless trim on the body. All of the brightwork is complete. There is rusting of the grillwork. Bumpers are straight and solid but will need rechroming. All of the pot metal pieces show pitting. Brake equipment has been worked on including all wheel cylinders and the master cylinder which have been replaced. All glass is good with the exception of the driver’s side windshield which has a U-shaped crack. Driver’s wiper is missing. The undercarriage appears solid with the exception of a small hole just under the driver’s seat and both inner perimeter panels showing rust through just under driver’s and passenger’s front doors. Some rust through in the rear perimeter frame where is curve toward the back. The passenger side rocker is worse than the driver’s side. The rest of the floor and the trunk are very solid. All tires are Diamondback Wide Whitewall Both fender skirts are in good condition New exhaust is on the car with the tailpipe needing to be mounted. The interior is complete and is in good condition for the year. Driver’s Upper seat cushion has a worn area. Door panels and dash are in excellent condition.
