Body off frame restored, pile of documentation!

Description

The "bankers hot rod". It was full of luxury and performance features. Rare, only 1,617 made total in 1961. It's an interesting, exciting car with so many unique features inside, outside and under the hood. This is a really clean, honest example. It was body off frame restored. Comes with a 3 inch stack of restoration and maintenance receipts. Wow, I just looked through the records. The owner of the last 8 years spent over $10,000 getting it dialed in.... It's no wonder the functions as good as it does. EXTERIOR: Sold new at Converse Motor Co, Albuquerque NM. Very clean dry body. It's straight as an arrow, even down along the bottoms of the car. The paint is slick. All the stainless trim has been buffed and polished to show quality. The 300 side emblem, door handles, mirrors were replaced. Chrome vent window pillars are mint. All the chrome looks redone. Up front the entire grill area is mint. In back it's just as nice. Look at the cars styling features. Up front has the big mouth grill with quad headlights at a slat on each side. The rear wings on top the 1/4 panels make it look fast sitting still. The ribbed trunk lid is a nice touch. INTERIOR: Inside is even cooler then the outside. My favorite feature are the swivel seats. The console extends front to back with armrests cushions making 4 bucket seats. The upholstery is perfectly broken in genuine leather. The dash is space age looking. Over $2,000 was spent restoring the electroluminescent gauge cluster. This is one of the coolest features and it works and looks like new. Restored clock, upgraded with quartz movement. Restored tachometer. Restored steering wheel ($1,400). Other features include push button transmission, power windows and seat.

This car just got better and better the closer I looked. So many typically over looked items have been restored. The pile of documents go back to when the car was produced. It tells the whole story.
