<VV> Very odd car I want to sell

Tue Jul 12 14:08:05 EDT 2011

I have a 62 Sedan that I thought I'd mention here before ebay.  It is 
a car only for an unusual person.  It started as a mostly rust free 
car with 28k miles I bought maybe 8-9 years ago from the original 
owner's heirs.  It has been my play toy.  The body has never been hit 
but the original paint is toast.  It has some minor rust here or 
there ... by AZ standards average for it's age, anyone from the east 
would call it rust free :-)  The interior is ugly with only the 
upholstery re-done (door panels, seats, cushions, arm rests, 
etc).  Carpet and cardboard and headliner are a mess.

What is unusual is the mechanicals.  The engine had an insane rebuild 
that ended up being $4,800 or so.  Generally it is a 110 block with 
.030 bored over and 102 heads and shrouds (e.g. it looks like a 
102).  Absolutely no shortcuts were taken and the best of everything 
put in there.  I don't even know all the stuff.  Pertronix of course, 
alternator conversion, years of work.

It has teflon coated cylinders, fancy pistons and rings, Clark's cam, 
roller rockers (really -- don't know that they do much but they look 
cool), ported heads, etc.

All mechanicals are perfect, rebuilt PG, transaxle, u-joints, brakes 
(wheel and master cylinders), shocks, suspension bushings, 
etc.  Everything works except sometimes the clock.  It has the clock, 
parking brake alarm, padded dash, engine compartment light, and other 
cool stuff.  It drives very nicely.

It also has a Judson supercharger with a Weber 44 IDF carb on 
it.  This setup is about 90% dialed in (it is still a little cranky 
when cold).  I also have all the stock Judson pieces including the 
hard to find air cleaner pieces.  I also have the stock carbs 
(rebuilt) if one wanted it back to stock.

It has a nice working gas heater!  This is a complete, rebuilt, and 
working setup.

I have the original drivetrain complete -- it had about 35k miles 
when I pulled it and ran fine.

The summary is that it is UGLY and mechanically superior to most cars 
you will find.  It is also one of the most restorable cars you will 
find in that it has no serious rust or damage -- assuming anyone 
wants to restore a sedan.  It will not photograph too well for 
ebay.  Here are pictures at various stages.  I already sold the deck 
lid and used the hubcaps (I do have an NOS set if needed).  The 
Judson setup pictured is with the stock Judson Holley carb.  I can 
take a picture of the 44 IDF if you like (that does look cool with 
custom made adapter and linkage).

Someone that wants a nice sedan -- it would need some interior work 
and paint -- would be starting from a very good place.  Although I 
would hate to see it done, someone that needed a good engine and the 
other mechanical parts could easily raid this car and do very 
well.  Especially if interested in a complete working Judson setup 
with the Weber and stock setups.

I will sell it without the Judson if someone wants (drag to take it 
off though).  Or, I might consider raiding it myself if I get enough 
offers on various parts.  I foolishly turned down a good sum for the 
drive train ... I was not thinking, I just did not want to tear it apart.

Contact me off list if interested.  I'll likely want what I have in 
the engine to sell it without the Judson, and another 1,000 with the 
Weber/Judson.  I also have tons of NOS parts if someone wants to 
restore it.  In any case it will be a tremendous bargain for the 
right person and just an ugly sedan to most ;-)
