Body off restoration started over 25 years ago. Body was stripped to metal, taken off the chassis, chassis rebuilt and painted. No rust ever body was repainted and placed back on the chassis. The straight 8 engine was rebuilt and reinstalled with the 3 speed manual transmission. Then work stopped and the car and parts were stored for the last 25 years. Rust free South Dakota car. Have all parts to complete the car, plus many extra parts. Original top still on the top irons.This must have been a very good car when disassembled. The car needs to be repainted (storage scratches,etc) chroming done, wiring, assembly, upholstery and top, etc. Much work done, much more to do, but what a great car when done! A real classic convertible seldom seen and very difficult to find in this condition (no rust) Rod or restore....great car to do. SOLD
