Description
All original model 61 four-door sedan. Runs and drives very well, original radio and clock work. Has the reliable 331 V-8 and hydromatic transmission. Five matching wide whitewall tires, original interior except new carpet. The only reason for selling is that no power steering is difficult at my age. I paid more than the asking price two years ago, so I am pretty firm. [hidden information] days or early evening. I won't respond to "is this available", I will delete when sold. ...
