The story with this car is: It has set in a garage for 45 to 50 years, the owner was going to do some work on it but never did. Originally it was in the garage because it had been wreck in the left rear quarter panel. The gas tank is missing now, where that went?? They had removed a section from inside the trunk to have access for straightening the quarter, which has been done for the most part. The removed piece has not been replaced though. The car has 19,000 original miles on it. The old fellow that has it starts it every so often, says it runs.
I do worry about the Ultramatic sitting all these years though. But should think the front end should still be tight yet, though the grease might be dried out now.....
A friend of mine is suppose to go back and take a closer look for me, he was the one that spotted it.
