About this car
Hemmings listing in Astoria, NY. Offered on Hemmings in Astoria, NY.
What the photos show
- Cream paint is flat and tired on most panels, and both front fenders are heavily rusted and peeling around the headlights — budget for major body and paint work, not a touch-up.
- Both headlights are missing, leaving empty, rusted buckets with loose wiring showing — budget for headlights, buckets and front-end repair before anything else.
- Chrome on the grille is still bright, but the bumpers look dull and aged and the sill trim is tired — budget for chrome work alongside the body repairs.
- Black convertible top looks faded and slack, seen up, folded and half-raised with no close fabric detail — budget for top repair or replacement.
- Dark blue leather seats are heavily creased with worn, splitting seams on the driver's cushion, and the carpets look dirty — budget for a re-trim, not just a clean.
- Wood dash looks mostly intact behind a worn steering wheel, but the cabin overall is tired — no saving there, interior money is still needed.
- Engine bay looks cleaner than the body, with black intake parts tidy but aged edges and wiring around them — budget for a mechanical check, the clean bay does not offset the rust.
- No underside photos in the sample — the underside can't be judged, and with this much visible front rust that inspection money matters most.
Money: At $389,500 the missing headlights, rusted front fenders, split leather and faded top mean a full restoration budget has to sit on top of the price, not a small tidy-up allowance.
