A truly rare optioned example with a bench seat, column shift automatic transmission featuring a sought after high impact color! Since this car was a low mileage survivor in good condition, the owner decided to do a minimal restoration to preserve the car from minimal surface rust. The car was disassembled with all items bagged and tagged, the original steel panels were rotisserie cleaned just as it was from the factory not to be overdone and professionally painted with base & clear coat paint. The paint on the underside of the hood and trunk lid is original, as well as the Shaker and jacking instructions decals. According to the broadcast sheet the car was supposed to have undercoating, we chose not to under coat the car so the original floor pans would be completely visible. The car was then reassembled to as close to original as possible with its original parts and only a limited amount of items that were replaced due to age. Replaced items include the headliner, carpet, seals, brake lines, fuel lines, exhaust, wheels, and tires. The car has its original interior with exception of the above mentioned items.  According to the broadcast sheet this car is not supposed to have the hockey stripe but at some point it was added to the car, possibly dealer installed, so we put the stripe back on the car after it was painted. (It can be easily removed if desired by its new owner)



The original engine, transmission and carburetors have new seals and gaskets, but they are not rebuilt in an effort to retain the originality of the car. To the best of our knowledge this car has been put back as built from the factory runs and drives great looks awesome! All the paint and assembly work was performed by David King Restorations in Hamersville, Ohio.
