What a beautiful car and i can not believe how low low low cost she is. This car must bring some memories to Dual Quad Pete. I can only hope she goes to a good sane home and not a house of horrors.

Always liked these Torpedo Backs. Nice colour also (you usually see them in darker shades). Good price, and sunvisor equipped.

The more i look at this sweet 51, the more i am mystified at the low give away price. Four doors in this condition have gotten more than this.

Agreed again.

Just flapping my lips here... if the flat six is buggered beyond sense, reason and budgetary concerns, does anything swap into it's place? OHV 216 Chevrlolet?

 I haven't been here long, but I like the way you think. 

I still wonder if the flathead can be swapped with another GM six... long stroke?
