59 11 window only 10 minutes from home

Post by 4REEL »

Picked this up only 10 minutes from home on eBay
Roof and gutter are perfect lower section has rust in all the typical places. Missing seats ,bumpers ,valance, gearbox and motor. Worked out perfect only just pulled the box out of my panel to fit rotisserie so put in the 11 window tonight to get it rolling.
Got to get the panel done first then move onto the new addition

Love it, what a bonus you didn't have to travel too much for it as well !

I see it has Semaphores and front indicators as well, didn't they have one or the other ? Look forward to seeing the resto once your panel is done.

That's what I thought the panel only has the rear lights I think they must have been added just like the studerbaker rear indicators
