Summary

239/130hp V8 with a 3-speed manual transmission. Recent ground-up nut and bolt restoration just completed. It drives better than it looks and that is saying a lot as this is probably one of the most beautiful 1954 Crestlines you will ever see.

Details

From the Dave's Garage car collection. A true matching numbers barn find. This California since new vehicle spent nearly 31 years waiting to be purchased for $700 and has since endured 4 years of restoration by California Body Works. Every nut, every screw, wire and piece of metal has been touched. Every piece of metal and trim is original to this car as it came from the Factory in 1954. The 239cid V8 was rebuilt from the pan to carb, transmission and rear end were completely rebuilt. The factory manifolds were replaced with custom ceramic coated headers. The factory manifolds were also coated and come with the car. Vehicle comes with photos of the restoration from beginning to end along with all restoration documentation. Not just a pretty face but a reliable daily driver if so desired. This car was restored correctly and is ready for its debut in your showroom or garage. This restoration was completed in June 2011.
