Willing to part with a very nice, low milage, very well maintained and mostly garage kept, 160C slantwinshield Blindback. I was told that this car had been restored for a private musium in 1971, where it remained for 20 years. It was sold and went to North Texas. That owner kept it garaged for 7years driving it very little. It was sold again and resided indoors for a year or so until I bought it in 2001. Since I have had it , it has only spent the night outdoors while at 2 Texas Tours, getting rained on at the 2002 Texas Tour, winning a second place. There is no rust. It is very solid and tight. It appears to have the original headliner, seat and panel covers. Only the carpet has been changed. It has the # A4465352 which I think is March, 31. It does not have the indented forewall. I belive it is the Murry body.
Runs very well. Drives very well. Steers very well with little wear anywhere. The paint is beginning to show 40 years of aging. but has held up very well. Has (5) 650X19 Super 6 ply tires allmost new. Asking $21,000 but negotiable. Just have to see and drive to appreciate it. I really hate to sell it but it doesn't get driven much because I am afraid someone will damage it. So, someone should be enjoying it. I also have 3 other cars to drive and keep up maintenance on. Have clear Texas Title. Tags are not included.

Bud, do those tires give it a better ride? also, do you have any clearance issues while turning? I ordered some BF Goodrich 550's today for my sedan. Didn't know they made 650's.
 
Jordan - I've got some giant white wall tires on my Vicky (came with it, but I kinda like the look) and the tread rubs the brake rods if you turn too sharp. Usually this only happens when you are trying to back out of a parking space. Makes a lovely sound for all the passengers to say, "What the heck was that???"
 
I ordered the same tires that Trish has on the tudor she drives. They are cheaper than normal model A tires. Not that much cheaper, but for a lot more rubber, I was really surprised. $170 for black walls.
 
Hi Jordan,
I can't tell theat it rides any different. But, these are six ply. They do give me a little faster speed without loosing too much power.
