Car description

1955 Dodge Royal270 Cubic Inch Red Ram V8Automatic Transmission with Shifter on DashA brief overview of the whole story (read below)A beautiful house find in Upstate New York, here it sat in a garage for about 5 years. Vehicle was restored by previous owner and was used in many parades. Engine was rebuilt and runs beautifully. New points and exhaust recently added. Body seems to be in good shape with friends of mine who are into cars saying thatit needs some minor body work on the rockers near the rear wheels. Paint is also not perfect as it looks as though a cat walked across the hood and roof many yearsago and those spots surface rusted (doesn't show up in pictures. Interior is good with the exception of the head liner where mice chewed a hole in it while in storage for 5 years. Chrome is not perfect with pitting on front passenger head light surround. I cleaned up the rest of the chrome with water and aluminum foil trick.

The owner of the car was supposed to move the car off the property but didn't, o I made an offer on the car to keep the closing of the house from being slowed down (That owner was the widow of the man who owned the car). The previous owner developed dimensia, o the car probably sat in the garage for about 5 years. I had a friend help me get the car going, t needed new "points" (I'm no car guy) and muffler. Mice had made a nice nest in the old muffler and chewed a whole in the head liner (still a hole in head liner). Other than those two things, he car cleaned up nicely. Prior to me getting the vehicle, he previous owner had retired and had the car restored. I think everything is original, ut please don't quote me on that. The engine, Red Ram V8 270 cubic inch, as rebuilt and runs beautifully. People who knew the previous owner and are car collectors themselves wanted to buy just the engine to put into their cars. Last summer (2014), drove the car with my family quite a bit and had a great time. After storing the car for the winter when I got the car out and took it for a test drive, noticed that the brake pedal felt spongy. So after that, parked the car in my garage, eaning to check it out or having help fixing (again, 'm no car guy), ut just never got around to it (too busy). The car was inspected last year and of course passed and is still registered and insured. The car has always been garage kept to my knowledge. That is all I know about the history of car. According to friends that are car guys, here is minor body work that needs to be done near the rear of the rockers next to the wheel well. The speedometer and odometer don't work, nd the head liner has a hole in it. As I mentioned before, he brakes didn't feel the same as they did the year before (they still stopped me), ut I'm not going to take any chances with my family as I'm not comfortable to diagnose/fix brakes.
