Very nicely optioned car. Colors aren't for everyone but triple green will have you in a pretty small club.

I've purchased 3 cars from the gentleman listing the car and he is a stand up guy. I realize it's not his car but just wanted to say that I don't think he would put anything in the listing that he didn't believe to be 100% true. It appears the car speaks for itself though... Very nice.

I wanted that '55 he just sold.

I’m always appreciative of any car that’s well described. Good pictures. and doesn’t shy away from answering the not yet asked questions.

Of course, it doesn’t say specifically anything about paint being original or having had any blending but the word SURVIVOR is used and that comes with certain expectations... at least to me :)

Awesome car. Love the colors and Rich known history

The car, love the colors, love the story.

I think the owner not having a cell phone or internet is rarer than the car.

The guy has owned the car for 4+ decades and never dropped the top? That is unusual. He must be a character.

That is a nice car. Great story too, if it's true..

Seller states that reserve is $30K. Sounds like a good deal to me.

New owner should check the rams for surface rust before trying to lower the top. When these are exposed they can get some rust and pitting on them, and then when the rams are drawn into the cylinders the o-rings can get torn up from the rough surface. This is often what causes them to leak. You can replace the o-rings, BTW. I did this on mine, took care of the leak, without shelling out the cash for aftermarket ones.

Thats great advice,,I would have just run the top down!
