I was fortunate in that an uncle purchased this new and I inherited it so it has all parts. I drove it from his place to mine and it was running a little hot. I obtained two rebuilt water pumps (finding both motor mounts were shot) and had the radiator gone through. Front floor board is rusted and the right rear quarter panel is damaged. There's a few other rust throughs but nothing major. I intend to keep it mostly all original as I like the unique features like the visor and the overdrive. However, I am toying with swapping in a more modern V8 for a little more power and AC accessory drive. (Would drain and bag engine for possible future owner.) 52's seem to be orphans and I'm not having any luck searching for a way to mount an OHV V8 to the existing drive train. Sedans don't seem to be that desirable so I'm not that concerned about keeping it "original" other than to a non-knowledgeable observer.
