Secondly, you're going to dismantle and rebuild the steering column to spec because all of them fall apart internally, causing them to slip into gear and start driving when you think it's in P, and you're looking for a tool at your bench.
Don't be wasting time and money on anything until you're overhauled that brake system in full. This car has them and they will require your first and closest attention. Among them, the front disc brakes are remarkably capable. There were a number of significant mechanical improvements over the '64 (which, because I own a '64 happens to be the best year anyway ). Big $$$ and they will mess it up because they weren't even born when these cars were being crushed. You really do not want to hire that stuff out.

None of it is beyond elementary but it is really something for the owner to tackle himself with the service manuals and time and patience. It would be cool to see that restored.ĪLL these neglected Birds have multiple electrical and vacuum gremlins to get sorted out but then most oldsters do. That was one of the rare mid-century colors. But, hey, you can get along without it for now. If you ever want that working it will be much more work than just buying a compressor and plugging it in. Compressor is missing have to wonder why. It's usual to give up on that when they find out how complicated that is. I see the rear interior trim has been removed which people do when they're trying to restore power window operation. That would also suggest further rust issues which wouldn't be limited to only the one spot on any car. It does appear that the driver's floor pan was done over, but I can't judge the quality of the welds by the photo. It could be a great running car before that gets addressed. Might want to think of that as a long term goal. The master cylinder in that car is going to give up three months after you buy it.īody work (which will be the last priority) visible and invisible rust will run you the most time and money. If it actually runs offer $1500 (don't go over $2K). If you are eager for projects, and projects and projects upon projects.well then! No matter what the seller is saying, you have to assume many more gremlins await your discovery that he may or may not even be aware of. I'm seeing a car with a serious amount of work needed to make it roadworthy, let along attractive. This is not meant to discourage you from your plans. This car was designed and born to be significantly more complex than the average car of the vintage so, just the repairs you stated in your post done by a capable retail mechanic (and, I mean this-good luck finding one of those) will make your eyes pop. Secondly, ask yourself how much work you plan to do yourself and/or are willing to learn.
