Description

This car was warehouse stored for 25 years. We had it towed it to our shop and started the process of getting it running. It runs very smooth, the engine and transmission are in excellent shape, it shifts well and has all the power..starts right up, no leaks, shifts-brakes-turns smoothly.
This is some of the steps we took to get it running, Hand turn engine over and oil from the top down. performed two oil and filter changes. Replaced valve cover gaskets, hard and brittle. Changed transmission oil and rear seal. Removed gas tank and cleaned, rebuild original Rochester carburator, replaced fuel pump and filter, fuel lines and clamps. Replaced 3 u-joints, that really smoothed out the ride. Drained coolant, replaced thermostat, gasket, coolant and cap. Drain and fill rear differential, replaced pinion seal. Drain and fill power steering, adjusted belt and added Lucas power steering additive. Clean and lubed, adjust front wheel bearings. Lubed all fittings. Inspect all brakes, wheel cylinders were good, reused all parts, cleaned and lubed all original brake hardware, adjust and bleed brakes twice. Clean and gap newer spark plugs, set dwell and timing for altitiude. Replaced air filter. Charged battery and tested generator, output is good and the car starts right up. Purchased and balanced 4 new tires, original spare is good. Fitted all hubcaps. There are other numerous small items we have done.
Ok, thats the short list. What it needs is:alignment, pulls slightly to the leftfront seat upholstrydrivers door window glass crackednew paint. The body is in great condition, very minor issises, no rust... Chrome is in excellent condition..some electrical attention: rear window not working, suspect rear lock out switchantenna not going upspeedo ok, mileage counter not working so i call it TMU
