I do not have any paperwork other than than the title. The car drives and handles great. I just had it fully tuned. oil change and carburetor rebuilt. There are no leaks to speak of. That I am aware of the vehicle is in it's original condition. with no modifications. The vehicle has 23. 02 miles believe to be original. I have personally put less than 300 miles since owning it. lets get to the facts.

I have talked to boy shops that thought the vehicle was correct as seen in pics. Chrome is in good condition other than the pitting in areas and some minor surface rust. Some paint chipping in rear plate area visible in pics. Trim is in excellent condition no dings dents or missing pieces. Glass is excellent. no cracks or chips. No heavy undercoating on this car as you can see in pics. The car could use a new exhaust system. Tires in good shape. All lights working.

Dash pad has some minor warping. All instrumentation working with the exception of gas gauge. Radio in working condition. Air Conditioning works. All power windows. Interior lights. turn signals all in working order.

Hi...I have been enjoying looking at the wonderful photos of the two-tone red and white 61 desoto adventurer. Is there any way you would be willing to share full resolution files of these, so I can make art prints to frame and put on the wall. Please reply to my email [email protected]
