RE: '62 Ragtop on the market soon

Yeah that is one sexy land yacht. My buddy has one that`s like 1 of 84 built. Not sure what that rare thing is but he put a 440 in it with the long ram intake on top. Looks really cool but he says the smogger 440 "doesn't go for shit" In his words.

It was a tough decision. My wifes logic won out :( It would be nice to hang on to, but won't have the garage space I have in Omaha, and can't see leaving it outside (even though "it never rains in Southern California" ;) ).

She's really nice, it's too bad you have to sell her. I know I'd love to have her, but its doubtfull. maybe you can find a way to keep her. But if not you'll find her a good home.

It's killing me, but as soon as I get the brakes fixed, I will selling my Plucked Chicken (1962 Newport Convertible, 361cu).

I had been unemployed for a while, and the first job offer is in Calif. and there will be no room for the Newport.

She is complete, but a 20 footer, all chrome and stainless in good shape. in fact I have rechromed the hard to find rear tail light bezels, and licence frame. No rust on bumpers, but dull and could use rechrome.

Installed new tie-rod ends, new shocks all around, new brake booster, master cylinder, trunk weather stipping, new trunk liner from Gary Goers. Also had Gary make a new convertible boot. Interior from Automotive interiors, and new dash pad from Just Dashes Top is in good shape (no rips or tears), but need a new rear window (I was quoted $250 for that). all glass is good.

Speedo works but made so much noise I disconnected. amp, temp gauge work, oil pressure and fuel gauges do not work. I don't know if it's the senders or the guages, but I have a complete dash Globe with gauges that will be included with the car. Original radio works.

Body has some door dings and small dents but NO rust. i suspect the drivers door is from a dodge 880, cause the widow crank is different. She needs a decent paint job. Rockers were patched poorly but will include a NOS rocker from a 4 door you can use for patching)

Tires have about 700 miles on them on new 15" chromies, also will include original wheels and hubcaps. Don't have a jack.

here are some pictures of her... keep in mind she is takes better pictures, than real life.. she is a 20 footer. http://www.timelesstransport.com/2011/what-a-chauffeur-drives-on-his-day-off/

I appreciate the people on the forum that gave me so much help with this classic, just wish I had gotten the chance to finish the job.

I will let you know when it is up for sale, just thought I give you guys a heads up if know someone was looking for a '60s ragtop
