“Thanks for looking at this rare old barn find that was parked for 41 years. I am listing for a relative that is second owner for approx. 2 years. This Model 463 has the original 138 Go Devil Flat Head engine. Carb has been rebuilt, new water pump, fuel pump and wiring. 3 Speed on column w/automatic overdrive. Runs and drives great and is all original except for wheels and tires. Spare tire came with the car.This model has the option of BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT HAND DRIVE. (Notice the two glove boxes.) The floor has the openings to change drive side. All body work was done with metal and welded and was extensive around all bottoms of doors, hatchback and fenders. This vehicle has a very nice paint job and is sharp but is not a concourse restoration, just a good  solid job. The rear left window is cracked, as well as driver side window. Windshield glass has been replaced. All new weather stripping around entire car. Original colors used on car were Luzon Red, Clear Maple and Mahogony Brown. All wood replaced and wood has been used tastefully (not orig. door panels) on doors and side panels. All photos of restoration will go with car, I have some of the pics for you to see. Seats have original coverings, they were only cleaned of mildew. Rechrome on orig. bumbers is immaculate and thick.

Everything works on vehicle except odometer, speedometer works fine as well as all electrical (lights, etc.) and guages on dash. Even the old heater works.This was an extensive rebuild and care was taken to keep as original as possible/practical. Engine and Transmission have not been rebuilt, just cleaned, serviced and run great. No smoke on starting, etc., cranks right up.

What is wrong with this car??? Other than mentioned above, there is a drop or two per day coming from the overdrive gear on LH side of the transmission when it sits. No other leaks. Car has been driven on trips of approx. 50 miles and no probems. Won 3rd Place at the Charlotte Auto Fair for 40-50s category on August 28, 2010.”
