| 1959 NY convertible getting some work. Motor has sat for awhile prior to my ownership. Going through transmission and motor. Car was repainted in 90. I want to leave it as close to that shape as possible. This is a high quality driver. Will make sure car is safe with suspension, wiring and brakes. Otherwise, leave it as is. My nephews are going through motor. The motor appears to be blue, with gold paint on top. I've been told these came in all black and was informed today dealership replacements were blue. Might address some wiring while motor is out as well. Excited to get this car on the road, safely!

She'll be a neat driver. Looks like the nephews are having fun!

It's great to see another grand old Mopar getting back on the road.
Have a lot of fun with it, Mike!

| Sadly, half the bearings were put in incorrectly. Glad we tore it apart, as it was coming out within 100 miles! Pressure washed the bottom of the car yesterday as well. Car is amazingly solid for an unrestored car (1 repaint) |
