CONDITION & KNOWN QUIRKS (READ BEFORE BUYING)
-
Emblem & Air Cleaner Misbadge Note: The car wears "260" fender badging and a "260" air cleaner housing decal from an older restoration. Our team pulled the starter to verify engine casting numbers: the drivetrain is confirmed to be an authentic, rare 1964½ 289ci V8 (C4OE-6015-C black with C4OE-9425-B 4V intake).
-
Exterior/Paint: Older restoration that presents well with a high gloss. Body is straight with clean alignment; paint shows typical light swirl marks and minor age-consistent imperfections from careful road use. Power top functions smoothly.
-
Interior: Clean red vinyl seating and carpet. Wear/fading is present on the upper inner door panel trims along the window sills.
-
Dashboard Lights & Tires: Generator warning light is currently illuminated on the dash. Tires carry good tread, but age is unknown and replacement is recommended for long-distance driving.
- Non-Functional Items: Speedometer, odometer, heater, brake lights, and emergency brake are non-functional.
