'64 4-door survivor
Hi all. I'm a new member here and wanted to share some pics of the '64 sedan I just bought. It's got 50k miles and as far as I can tell it is pretty original except for some exterior repainting here and there. The body is fairy straight and solid except for a small rust through on the drivers side front fender. All trim is in excellent condition, the bumpers have been rechromed at some point and are straight. Floors and trunk are near perfect as is the interior. It is a basic Tempest with 215 six, ST 300 trans, manual steering and brakes. The only options as far as I can tell are front seat belts, radio and 2-speed wipers with washer. It runs very well and the trans shifts very smooth and no smoke. The suspension seems good and brakes work very well with no pulling. About the only things that don't work are the high speed for wipers and washer and also the rear license light. I had to fix the trans kick-down switch as it was frozen and also the horn which turned out to be just a poor connection/ground. It's got 4 new Goodyear radial tires. Miraculously, it does not leak any fluids. I saw it in a row of low- priced cars for sale at the Englishtown Swap Meet in NJ. I wasn't really seriously looking for a car but for $2000 I couldn't pass it up. It needs some attention to surface rust forming around the front windshield and rear along the lower edge. I know it's not a desireable model being 4 doors with six but it is a cool cruiser and a time capsule!
