Total nut and bolt restored by the highly regarded retractable
expert Jerry Miller. The nicest retractables in the world were
restored by him and this is one of them. This car won a national
senior 1st place AACA award in 2007. It is also loaded with every
factory option from air conditioning to fitted luggage. Only 1,667
miles since finished. The car recently had the top mechanisms
serviced and is working beautifully.
EXTERIOR: I bet the fit and finish is better then the factory made.
It is laser straight, the panels fit precisely. The hood closes
with a "click", doors shut effortlessly. The top is functioning
flawlessly, recently serviced by Jerry. With the flip of a switch
it transforms from a hardtop to a convertible. It is entertaining
to watch, people will gather around. The paint is polished smooth
and glossy. Every single piece of chrome and trim was restored or
replaced. The glass is crystal clear. Every weather strip and
gasket was replaced. It has rocker trim, stainless skirts, reverse
lights and the 1st place emblem in the grill. The hubcaps have the
red-white-blue centers, rims were painted and it rides on radial
white walls.
INTERIOR: Completely restored to new condition. It has correct 3
tone upholstery protected in clear plastic, vintage style seat
covers with the chrome piping. These are not just slip on covers,
they are sewn and installed with the same precision as the
upholstery. The door panels are also correct reproduction with the
silver trim. Down on the floor is new carpet and embroidered floor
mats. In front of me is a beautiful dash. It has a perfect fitting
padded dash, Town & Country radio, the clock was converted to
quartz. Below the dash is the chrome air conditioning vents and a
tissue dispenser. The chrome has been replated, the metal has been
replated, steering wheel is pristine. The lenses, gauges, knobs are
all like new. It has a day night mirror. In the glove box it has
the owner's manual. The interior lights work. Seat belts were added
in front.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 352-300 horsepower motor was completely
rebuilt and runs smooth. Every component in this engine compartment
has been rebuilt and restored to look like new from the 4 barrel
carb to the air conditioning. Detailed like factory new down to the
decals, reproduction hoses, cloth wrapped choked tube and
windshield washer bag. Features include factory air, power steering
and electric wipers.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Of course it is restored like new in here. It
even has the 3 piece fitted luggage in the cargo tub. The metal is
neatly painted. It has complete plaid liner kit. All the pumps,
rams, hardware look new.
UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the chassis and every inch was
restored. The bottom of the body is all solid metal painted body
color. The frame and suspension components were taken apart,
prepped and painted gloss black. All of the suspension, steering,
brakes were rebuilt or replaced. Looking up at the motor it is
clean, has correct fuel pump. The Cruise-o-matic was rebuilt. The
rear end was rebuilt and detailed. The dual exhaust was replaced
with factory type, it has the optional exhaust tip deflectors in
back. The fuel system was replaced.
Rest assured this car was built right. Having Jerry Miller restore
your retractable is like having Martha Stewart cook your
Thanksgiving dinner. There is nobody better for the job. I was
recently at an auction where a twin to this sold for $106,000 + 8%
fee.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
