Recent work includes carb rebuild, new coil, battery, alternator, gas tank and sender, soft fuel lines and filter. Power steering ram and all brake cylinders replaced. Tires are excellent but have some minor sidewall checking. Desperately needs new paint and a carpet kit. This desirable numbers matching coupe with all the options and Powerglide is a rare find AND you can drive it home. $35,000. Northern California. More Picts on eBay.

old68, I looked at the pics & saw mostly surface type rust. Did you see some danger areas? I'm always trying to learn about these old cars. Thanks.
Noticed it had a new gas tank, but, no tank stickers (or rarely) for that year. Is that correct?

Personally, I liked the car. To the owner, good luck with the sale!

Best,
Cliff

A lot of these barn finds need complete restoration. Most of them did not lead good lives and they were abused. I guess we can blame Tom Cotter for all of this barn find nonsense.

I'm starting to believe that any number of cars are being put away into a barn to acquire that special patina. Why else are we getting so many of these barn find cars?
