This shapely car is perfect for someone who would like to tinker with it and replace/freshen up a few things to complete this beautiful Chieftain.
The body is solidand#44; and looks to have been repainted once quite some time ago. The paint is in very good condition overalland#44; with a few areas (shown in pics) that show some blemishing. The chrome condition throughout the vehicle ranges from fair to very good. The interior shows some ageand#44; but has been well maintained. The Straight-8 engine is silky smooth and delivers power very well.
This Chieftain came to us from a collector in Oregon - prior to that the car was in Alaska. The mileage is said to be original mileageand#44; although not documentedand#44; the condition that the car is in makes 29k original miles believable.
This car is missing some trim pieces and the grille. There are a few spare trim pieces that are not on the car shown in the photo of the trunk.
A little elbow grease and some quality time spent with this car would definitely result in a stunning retro cruiser!
