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.

Notes:
All chrome and stainless steel are in excellent shape.  The condition of this car is better than a driver but not quite a show car, very little needs to be done to bring this to show car level.
This car was restored by Truman King, a well know Washington State Edsel collector.

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.
Runs very well, no know issues with engine or transmission.

This car does NOT have "power disc brakes, chrome wheels, CD player w/650 watt amp & 2/10" subs, and much chrome engine" that the previous owner mentioned below.

Owner:   Richard Covell
Location:   Hawthorne, Nevada
Owned since:   March 2005

Mileage:   181,000
Condition:   Drives very well
Originality:   Minor customization

Accessories included:   Lever-Temp Heater/Defroster, Column Automatic Transmission, Radio, Whitewall Tires, Wheel Covers with Spinner, Curb Feelers, Two-tone Paint, Spotlight, Oil Filter, Dual Exhaust, No-Glare Rear-view Mirror, Courtesy Lights, Back-up Lights, License Plate Frames, Engine Compartment Light, Luggage Compartment Light, Glove Box Light, Fender Skirts

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.

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.
The car drives excellent, and gets LOTS of attention anywhere it goes.
