'63 Amazon, a bit crusty in spots, looks like the current owner took a pretty good swing at replacing rot.

A quoted feature is a "Motorola radio", said to actually pick up a broadcast.

I always like this color. Car looks not bad but there looks like a lot of fluid leaking under the vehicle from front to back with the worst at the rear diff.

Those floor repairs look very iffy. They should have bead welds all around. All the have done is lay the new ones over the old, spot weld them and then fill everything with buckets of seam sealer. Sheesh!

Quite a vigorous RestoMod program started in 2020; one of the wags in the Cheering Gallery quoted a paragraph of mods, and asked

Seller notes most of the aftermarket equipment isn't CARB certified, so it won't pass CA inspection.

I have to admit I ignore Dealer listings on BaT, but Platinum's are pretty rare, and this one seems to be an honest 16k car.
