This is the latest gem I picked up late yesterday afternoon. It's just your basic 318, auto on the column, p steering, manual 10" drum brakes. It has a few flaws, mostly a couple moderate size dents the left rear quarter. I wonder if a paintless dent guy can massage them out, but it's clean and with very low mileage.

Don't know who the original owner was, but the 2nd owner was from Mahopac, NY & he bought it in the spring of 2005. The guy I bought it from locally, just got it to flip. There's a 2005 NY inspection report with the mileage showing 13,793. The odometer now reads 13,856...... 63 miles in 20 years! He got it inspected every year, but apparently he only drove it to the inspection station & back. I have 19 years worth of NY inspection reports, so that pretty much documents the mileage since 2005.

It doesn't need to be restored, but needs a good cleaning, detailing tires and a muffler.

Once I get new tires, these will go back on the steel wheels.

This brings back memories, my mother had a key holder like this.

This trunk mat looks original, but I've never seen one with a pad underneath. Can anyone verify if this is original?

I just found another copy of an earlier BOS. The original owner (I believe) was from Astoria NY & he sold it to the guy in Mahopac NY back in 1990. At that time, the mileage was 13,345.
 
Bonus Mark....the outer body colour and under the hood are the same colour. :lol:

Should clean up nice and easy for a man with your talent level and skill....nice score. :thumbsup:
 
Nice survivor.

I love finding them that way.

I've had the itch for a running, driving 66/67, so last night I cleaned off my 67 Wagon.

It's still in original paint, but it's on the line between "leave it alone", and "go ahead and paint it".
Hard call, but I'm leaning towards painting it.
