1968 Sedan deVille Pillared
41k miles Sudan Beige (code 40) with medium covert cloth and
leather interior Ran and drove
when purchased from son of original owner, but had been sitting in
garage for more than 20 years following original owners sudden death
Son got it running, made some repairs but needed the car out of his
mothers garage After purchasing it, the current owner drove the car
for a couple months until the transmission started slipping, probably due to
disuse Since the car was straight and un-molested, it was decided to
do a full resto-mod as this would probably be owners last large-scale
project Car was completely disassembled, and firewall started to be smoothed as Vintage Air A/C was planned
Health issues require sale of the
car as is Everything is included Rolls fine, doors were
re-hung, and many boxes of parts stored inside, while more delicate
trim pieces are stored in trunk Car will never be finished by
current owner, who cant bear to watch it just sit Buyer could build,
part out or whatever they choose Lots of hard-to-find parts as the
68 has some odd pieces not found elsewhere Not looking to recoup
the thousands already in the car $500 which would be considered a win all things
considered Buyer would have to transport the car and ALL the parts
(e.g., fenders, hood, deck lid, etc.) For more information,
send email Car is located in Nokesville, VA ,
where it was moved from the owner's garage to his barn in November 2020 and
parked on heavy sheet plastic to avoid moisture migration to underside
of car and under cover

Interior
Seat fabric is in good condition, except on driver's side where
the fabric and springs took a beatings are good Front seat's power
moves in all directions Much of the dashs plastic parts were badly broken, crumbling
etc., so plan was to build semi-custom dash Main steel structure is
in fine shape as is top pad Tele/tilt column however signals had
stopped working (common issue), so plan was an aftermarket Flaming
River column to be added
