Notes:
This car is stunning in appearance and was restored by Truman King, a well-known Washington
State Edsel collector some years ago. The condition of the car over all is better than a driver but not
quite a show car. The chrome and stainless are in excellant shape. The car runs and drives well
with no known issues with the engine, transmission (dual power 3 speed automatic) or suspension. The
driver side exhaust manifold has a small crack (not noisy) and seals completely once warm. The exhaust
system has some small holes that were once patched and has a 2-foot section that needs to be replaced. The
mufflers look fairly new.
The paint could use a buff but is in good, shiny condition. Because it's an older restoration there
are some areas that have been touched up. The lower corners of the trunk have lost some paint and were
poorly touched up. There are a few other areas that show small blemishes. The back/front of the
driver seat has a wear spot in the fabric and the door panels are showing some warping/waves but are
presentable. The kick panels need to be replaced. The rest of the interior is in excellent shape.
The card comes with a driver's side spotlight/mirror (doesn't work), spinner hubcaps, new tires, new battery
and fender shirts.

Issues with car include: Interior - Driver's seat back is worn thru, rear package tray
has been cut to install speakers, could use new front door panels. Exterior - Rear
of car, at the corners where the trunk lid closes by the reverse lights, the paint has
chipped, and had been brush touched. On the top of the right quarter panel next to
the molding there are two chips in the paint, three small chips in the hood.

amp & 2/10" subs, and much chrome engine" that the previous owner mentioned below.

This car was completely restored in 1996, and has about 30,000 miles since. The
driver's side part of the seat is showing some wear, so I put a cool cushion on it and
it covers it well.

Notes:
The car has 2 different looks - wide whites, fender skirts and curb feelers, and the other
look is more the way cars were when I was in high school. I haven't butchered up
anything. It can be put back stock in 1 day.
It has power disc brakes, Gabriel hi-jackers, chrome wheels w/rwl tires, cd player w/650
watt amp & 2/10" subs, and much chrome engine.
The car drives excellent, and gets LOTS of attention anywhere it goes.
