1959 PATINA Wagon Aged to perfection with mostly ORIGINAL paint and interior. 100% mechanical overhaul at approx. 15k miles ago Fully sorted out by a master builder who built the car for himself. Drive it across country at 70mph ALL DAY LONG (my wife and I have) This true SURVIVOR was kept as cosmetically original as possible while doing an otherwise EXTENSIVE FRAME OFF freshen up on everything (including ALL the mechanicals) along with some comfort and safety up-grades. The goal was to make a reliable cross country cruiser and preserve that real deal patina LOOK Restoration and Upgrades A very thoughtful and professional FRAME OFF approach was used in refreshing everything that needed attention while leaving the cosmetics surfaces as original as possible. * COLD Air Conditioning * (newly installed under dash Vintage Air Mark IV system) * Great running rebuilt 292 V8 serviced with AMSOIL * nicely detailed under the Hood * Power Steering completely restored by Rodes (the best) * Power Brakes / modern DUAL Master Clylinder * Automatic tranny (rebuilt) * PREMIUM $3,000 sound system andhellip;andhellip;. iPod ready * Retracting Seat Belts / Belts for SIX passengers * Diamond Back radial White Walls / P215 75R 14 * Optima Battery (red top) * New GAS TANK (new gas lines, brake lines, etc) * All new Bushings, Springs, Gas Tank, Shocks, Brakes, etc * Pertronics Ignition for reliability * Dynamate Floors for insulation and sound deading * Gauges * Cell Phone ready * Lowered with new EATON SPRINGS * Hidden KILL SWITCH to help prevent theft *Detachable Custom built heavy duty TOW HITCH system for Towing vintage RVandrsquo;s (pre-wired for towing) FRAME OFF restoration The FLOORS are in amazing rust free condition!

Our longest round trip was 1,500 trouble free miles when my wife and I drove it to the 2015 Cruisin The Coast event andndash; people loved this car everywhere we went. We had the time of our life. This is a very comfortable car to travel in for hours at a time. It is super easy to drive with the power steering and power brakes and if you are a music lover you will love professionally installed sound system that is neatly tucked away. I installed the air conditioning in 2015 and it works great. The under dash unit is the best on the market and its vintage looking which is a prefect complement to the super cool interior. Well preserved low miles WAGON. When I purchased the wagon I was told that the 74k miles on the odometer where original. While there is no way to prove it I can say that everything about the car makes it believable. It is a really tight car. I have driven it close to 6,000 trouble free miles during my ownership. The odometer is currently showing 79,253 miles however when I sell it the State of Texas requires any vehicle over 25 years old to be sold as miles EXEMPT. While it may have some weathered surfaces, this vehicle has clearly been loved and intentionally preserved for 58 years. The weathered surfaces are mainly surface rust and rust pitting in areas where the thin factory paint simply wore too away andhellip;. all of which translates into the REAL PATINA everyone loves and people now go to great lengths to replicate. It also has some of the typical rust issues around the back wagon door and window but nothing to worry about where long term |
