Nice looking car, but for goodness sake, could they have removed the Bungee cord battery hold down for a car they are asking $12,500 for?

Down here in the South a bungee cord is a battery hold down.
Also we like to balance the cars out with Dual antennas.LOL

The seller told me the car was originally white and black. This car has many inconsistencies that I am aware of plus the many commented on by you all. And, thanks for your observations and comments - much appreciated. Anyone in the Pittsburgh area like to inspect the car for me? It would be good for the whole community to have the car QA'ed.

Yes, it is a TL equipped car and I want a standard suspension Clipper. Thanks

A standard suspension would be somewhat rare in a '55 Custom, but it seems to me that having the value of the unique T/L suspension would outweigh the value of having a comparatively rare standard suspension.

Further discussions with the seller revealed that it is a T-L suspension equipped car. Other data shared:

5562 8103
Paint: MR - White Jade (M) and Sardonyx (R)
Trim: 41 - Gray and Black fabric

Seller says engine number matches door plate number.

For those interested, I have been given permission by the seller to post his contact information:

Since the car is T-L equipped, I am no longer interested in pursuing it. Go for it!

All of the above is for the 1955 Clipper Custom on eBay, per my original post on this thread.

Interior seems to have been redone.The middle of the front seat is not looking as it was orginal in this rosewood and black Clipper
