Original, unrestored, 22k mil SURVIVOR

Born-with drivetrain, original interior, 85%+ original paint
One of 500 made in 1955. Fewer than 200 known to exist.
Approximately $6,000 cost when new in 1955

Front and rear torsion bar suspension system with self-leveling
Lots of power options incl top, steering, windows, brakes, seats etc.

Worth mentioning:
-Paint-described as 85% original since it looks like someone repainted a small surface area 40+ yrs ago.
-Two small tears in interior include one on driver seat and one on rear seat, bottom cushion. See pics.
-Canvas top, motor and boot are new (not original). Replaced by last owner.
-Exhaust is new and not original. Tips bent downward by last owner to avoid damaging chrome bumpers.
-We rebuilt transmission and carbs and also replaced fuel tank after sitting for 40+years in storage.
-new tires, not original
