330 230hp Hemi, automatic, pushbutton radio. Thin interior chrome. Good repaint except for some overspray on the curb feelers, new interior, good chrome, old undercoat on chassis. Quick cosmetic restoration of a sound car. Chassis mostly original with some new paint over old undercoat. An okay driver, and an unusual car with 64,930 miles.

Market commentary

Although it is fully valued at this price, this DeSoto is a crowd stopper thats rarely seen. The presentation leaves quite a bit to be desired but the basic DeSoto is sound and can be used and enjoyed as is. A transaction thats fair to both the seller and a retail buyer. Theres no profit left at this price, however.
