Notes:
39,000 original miles.  I don’t think the odometer has rolled over due to the condition of the pedals and the paint on the engine itself.  I believe the piston rings are worn, and the engine will most likely need a rebuild.  I’ve owned the car for about a year and got it roadworthy, took it to a few shows, when the spark plugs started getting covered in oil.  If you clean them up the car will drive for a handful of miles before they get fouled up again.  The compression is even amongst cylinders, but if you run a wet compression test the compression goes up, which is why I believe the rings are worn.  As for new parts on the car, I did new brake shoes and wheel cylinders now the rear, changed fluids and filters, and rebuilt the original carburetor.  The car was repainted in the 80s with a metallic green, the original color was a lighter colored green.  The paint is not perfect, but a solid 15 footer for sure.  It’s got a few scratches and flakes but she cleans up nice.  The interior is original and the seats have a few tears but they’re pretty good, the carpet is a little beat.  One of the radiator mounts has a little Swiss cheese rust going on, and one of the body mounts is a tad bit rusty, but that’s it.  Whitewalls have decent tread but are a little old. I put the nicer Edsel spinner hubcaps on it.  The car’s data plate was recorded by Gary Brunsch way back in 1977 in Wisconsin, which is where I bought the car.  Love this car but I just don’t have time or money to put into it right now, and it definitely deserves a good home.
