Sellers description:
Heres a piece of history. Im listing this car for my friend who has let this car sit for years and is not up to the task of restoring it. Its a 53 that is virtually rust free, has the original motor still in the car and all the parts are there. The trunk is loaded with items down to also including a replacement fuel tank as the original is sure to need replacing. The car is as straight as anything Ive personally seen this age. I took some shots of the sides so as to satisfactorily show this. The tires are still holding air and the undercarriage is very solid. As for the condition of the motor we know not, it would need to be gone through anyway upon restoration but all indications are its moving freely and doesnt appear to have any damage. This motor is correct and original to this car, the pic of the serial number upon the motor matches that on the title and data plate, W7250-8S . For a car of this age it has remained very intact , the headliner is in unusually nice condition. I would have to research the original color unless you are able to tell from the data plate. This car should make a great candidate for restoration.
