Not much of a description here - who knows whether any of the drivetrain is original - but definitely worth looking into. Underbody looks unrestored and very nice...in fact, the car looks pretty good overall.

Pass on this one. They battleship plated the bottoms of both frame rails in the areas where they hold water and rust away.

What does battleship plated mean ?

Sorry about that. It means they just welded squares of scrap steel over the rusted frame rails. Look at the stepped areas in my outline.

The deeply pitted rearend is a sign of how ruff it might have been.
