The discription of the body would be considered a disguise

>I have a 62 Sedan that I thought I'd mention here before ebay.  It is 
>a car only for an unusual person.  It started as a mostly rust free 
>car with 28k miles I bought maybe 8-9 years ago from the original 
>owner's heirs.  It has been my play toy.  The body has never been hit 
>but the original paint is toast.  It has some minor rust here or 
>there ... by AZ standards average for it's age, anyone from the east 
>would call it rust free :-)  The interior is ugly with only the 
>upholstery re-done (door panels, seats, cushions, arm rests, 
>etc).  Carpet and cardboard and headliner are a mess.

>What is unusual is the mechanicals.  The engine had an insane rebuild 
>that ended up being $4,800 or so.  Generally it is a 110 block with 
>.030 bored over and 102 heads and shrouds (e.g. it looks like a 
>102).  Absolutely no shortcuts were taken and the best of everything 
>put in there.  I don't even know all the stuff.  Pertronix of course, 
>alternator conversion, years of work.

>It has teflon coated cylinders, fancy pistons and rings, Clark's cam, 
>roller rockers (really -- don't know that they do much but they look 
>cool), ported heads, etc.
>
>All mechanicals are perfect, rebuilt PG, transaxle, u-joints, brakes 
>(wheel and master cylinders), shocks, suspension bushings, 
>etc.  Everything works except sometimes the clock.  It has the clock, 
>parking brake alarm, padded dash, engine compartment light, and other 
>cool stuff.  It drives very nicely.
>
>It also has a Judson supercharger with a Weber 44 IDF carb on 
>it.  This setup is about 90% dialed in (it is still a little cranky 
>when cold).  I also have all the stock Judson pieces including the 
>hard to find air cleaner pieces.  I also have the stock carbs 
>(rebuilt) if one wanted it back to stock.
>
>It has a nice working gas heater!  This is a complete, rebuilt, and 
>working setup.
>
>I have the original drivetrain complete -- it had about 35k miles 
>when I pulled it and ran fine.
>
>The summary is that it is UGLY and mechanically superior to most cars 
>you will find.  It is also one of the most restorable cars you will 
>find in that it has no serious rust or damage -- assuming anyone 
>wants to restore a sedan.  It will not photograph too well for 
>ebay.  Here are pictures at various stages.  I already sold the deck 
>lid and used the hubcaps (I do have an NOS set if needed).  The 
>Judson setup pictured is with the stock Judson Holley carb.  I can 
>take a picture of the 44 IDF if you like (that does look cool with 
>custom made adapter and linkage).

>I will sell it without the Judson if someone wants (drag to take it

>Contact me off list if interested.  I'll likely want what I have in

>Weber/Judson.  I also have tons of NOS parts if someone wants to

>right person and just an ugly sedan to most ;-)
