About this car
Hemmings listing in St. Louis, MO. Offered on Hemmings in St. Louis, MO.
What the photos show
- Dark green paint is deep and glossy with straight panels and sharp reflections, no repaint bill visible on the outside.
- Chrome bumpers, wheel-arch trim and window frames are bright and polished, and the color-matched hubcaps are clean, so no rechroming spend shows.
- Two sampled photos show the grille removed with the radiator and electric fan exposed, so the front end was photographed mid-work — confirm the grille is back on and undamaged.
- In the grille-off front shot the lower front bumper and valance look bent and wavy, so budget for bumper straightening or replacement.
- One rear wheel close-up shows the rear sitting low with the tire tucked up into the arch, so check the air suspension holds height before paying — that system is expensive to rebuild.
- Engine bay looks original and unrestored, with aged hoses, dust and surface corrosion around the brake booster, so expect sorting costs under the hood even though nothing looks modified.
- Trunk chrome and badges are bright with only light pitting on the handle strip, cheap to live with.
- Can't judge the seats or interior — no interior photo appears in the sampled photos.
- Can't judge the dash — no dash photo appears in the sampled photos.
- Can't judge the underside — no undercarriage photo appears in the sampled photos.
Money: at $54,900 the green paint and chrome carry the price, but the bent front bumper, the low rear ride height and a completely unphotographed interior mean you should price in air-suspension and front-end work until an inspection proves otherwise.
