20,560 actual miles on this all original survivor. Rare Gold Duster
package which included a snake skin roof! It includes original
window sticker, warranty paper, manual and more. Mileage is marked
as original, the car speaks for itself anyway. Our shop just spent
$1,674 servicing this car- a/c, brakes, fuel system etc. It's ready
to be enjoyed.
EXTERIOR: All original! The body has no rust. Only damage is a
garage dent on the rear quarter. Doors shut like a new car.
Original paint shows very well; it has minor imperfections. One of
the better original paint jobs I've seen that's almost 50 years
old. The Gold Duster decals and stripes are still excellent. The
original snake skin roof is pristine looking. That's important
because it's an important feature and probably not replaceable.
Shiny original chrome. Original glass is crystal clear. Original
deluxe hubcaps caps and white stripe tires were also part of the
package. Jambs are clean original including the weatherstrips.
INTERIOR: It is practically new looking inside and it is original!
The seats, visors and lower door panels have been covered in
plastic since new. The lower cushion was recently uncovered because
the plastic was cracking. The upholstery is pristine. The door
panels look new except small damage at the bottom from being closed
on seatbelt. The entire dash area, instrument panel, steering
column, heater controls, glovebox are mint. No wear on steering
wheel, armrests, pedals. The carpet is very good. Headliner is
mint
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Many of these were just 6 cylinders. Under the
hood of this car has a 318 V-8, cold a/c, power steering and
brakes! It is completely factory correct. All the components are in
place, not messed with. Heat riser tube is in place, battery is
secured, overflow bottle is in place, squirters are hooked up, hood
insulation is still very good. We rebuilt carburetor, replaced the
coil and topped of the R12 freon. Clean engine bay with original
paint and the fender tag is still attached. It's never even had
spray paint, it's original and very nice.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: All original, I don't think the jack has ever
been removed. No rust, original paint. The original mat has some
splits. Weatherstrip is excellent.
UNDERSIDE: Completely rock solid original metal, the frame rails
and even the lower inner quarters have not been touched. It has
optional factory under coat, it's never been spray painted over.
There are still some signs of assembly line paint markings. It has
disc brakes in front, e-brake assembly is hooked up. It went
through our shop for inspection. We replaced the front calipers and
hoses, bled and tested the system. Replaced fuel sending unit. The
vin is stamped on the engine by the oil pan. The matching vin is
also on the TorqueFlite automatic.
Conclusion:
They are only original once. This is an excellent example of a
survivor. Before you leave our parking lot you will be convinced
this is a sweetheart. It runs, functions and feels like a new
car.
It has a lot of great features but the snake skin roof and the
plastic covered interior really takes us back in time!
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. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
