1960 CHEVROLET BEL AIR PARKWOOD WAGON

1960 Chevrolet Parkwood Description

HERE IS A QUITE RARE ITEM A 1960 CHEVROLET PARKWOOD STATION WAGON. WHENS THE LAST TIME YOU'VE SEEN THESE WAGONS ?
UNDER THE HOOD IS A 283 V8 W/ 2 BARREL CARB & THE POWERGLIDE AUTOMATIC. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAYS THE
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION IS ORIGINAL BUT I'M NOT SURE MYSELF I'M NOT GOOD AT DECIFERING ENGINE BLOCK NUMBERS
SO I'M NOT MAKING ANY CLAIMS. I'M JUST GOING BY 2ND HAND INFO.
CAR NEEDS FINISHING UP & SOME TENDER LOVING CARE.
ORIGINAL INTERIOR SHOWS NORMAL WEAR & TEAR FOR IT'S AGE, IT'S 56 YEARS OLD SO WHAT CAN I SAY ? I'll BE POINT BLANK HONEST
IT LOOKS LIKE HELL & IT NEEDS UPHOLSTERY & DOOR PANEL WORK. LUCKILY THESE ARE AVAILABLE IN REPRODUCTION NOW.
THIS IS NOT A 100 POINT NUMBER 1 SHOW CAR OR TRAILER QUEEN BUT THEN I'M NOT ASKING A PREMIUM PRICE EITHER.
THIS IS WHAT'S CALLED A DAILY DRIVER NICE BUT NOT PERFECT, ALL DONE THESE WAGONS GO ANYWHERE FROM $12,000 TO
$25,000 & HIGHER. ANYTHING UNDER $10,000 IS GETTING INTO PROJECTS, BASKET CASES, JUNK HEAPS & PARTS CARS.
MOST OF THEM ARE NOT RUNNING & DRIVABLE & THE ENGINES ARE USUALLY FRIED TOAST & HAVE BEEN PULLED OUT OR MISSING
& ARE ONLY GOOD FOR PARTS. BUT THIS CAR STARTS RIGHT UP & ROARS LIKE A LION & IS DRIVABLE.
THIS CAR HAS A VERY STRAIGHT SOLID BODY ALL AROUND & THE WINDSHIELD & GLASS IS EXCELLENT ALL THE WAY AROUND.
ALL THE DOORS OPEN & SHUT PROPERLY & THE ENGINE BAY IS CLEAN AS A WHISTLE & LOOKS VERY PRESENTABLE
& THE BLOCK HAS BEEN REPAINTED IN THE CORRECT CHEVY ORANGE & LOOKS BRAND NEW.
IT HAS HAD A REBUILD THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD ME & HAS NEW MUFFLERS & ALL THE DOORS ARE SOLID ON THE BOTTOM
& THE ODOMETER READS 74,772 MILES BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ORIGINAL MILES I CAN'T BE SURE. OK LET'S DECODE THE VIN NUMBERS.
