To sum of the condition Of this vehicle I would simply say if you did not get a chance to buy one in 1963 this is the next best thing. For a couple of grand we could’ve done the interior door panels and even undercoat the car but we chose to keep it original as that is what makes it most valuable the next owner can do interior or anything else they see fit
@MrFantasy – Is the fuel gauge working and accurate? lHeat and defrost operational? on both sides? Odometer rolls actually turn? ...
Just put gas in the vehicle and the gas gauge works and also the odometer does roll currently showing 15843 also the heater when the valves open and blows hot air on both sides although I found that it flows more on the passenger side
@MrFantasy – Looks like a cool daily driver. If I wanted to pick it up and drive it home, it may need a cross-country trip. Is going to shake apart on freeways and leave me stranded? Interested in the underside photos also. ...
The car is a original and mostly unrestored unit and I am sure you are aware there usually never the same when they are taken apart and put back together. What attracted us this car is that it looks very much like today in left the factory. We have had zero issues driving the vehicle it runs and shifts very well all the lights and the signals work the heater works the wiper works and I don’t see why it wouldn’t make it on long trips however that being said we would never encourage someone to drive a 60-year-old car across the country
@WGLIDE83 – Pictures of underneath the vehicle would help ...

@SeanCusiter – Can you speak to any rust underneath or in the heater channels? ...
Photos of the underneath have been added to the end of the gallery.
@aschommer – Do you have any underbody photos? ...
Photos have been added to the end of the gallery.
@aschommer – Still no underbody photos? It has been 5 days since first request...what's up? ...
The car was buried in the back of our show rooms and we also run Toyota and Volkswagen dealerships here so it took a little while more than 10 undercarriage photos have been sent to a AutoHunter and they will be loaded momentarily
