Offered is a DEAD/RUSTED 1956 DeSoto Adventurer.

It ran well when parked but has not been started in years. I frequently put a little oil in the carburetors and turned the engine by hand. It turns freely.

The rust is not Michigan rust where the frame and floors are gone. It is lower body panels that need replacing/repairing. The underside is good.
The worse part is the lower trunk lip but I have a replacement in good condition.

Only 996 Adventurers were built in a 2 week run. It clocked the fastest speed of any stock 1956 automobile at 142 mph powered by it unique 341 2x4 hemi, It has power steering, power brakes and automatic transmission

It is fitted with an underdash a/c unit.

Haggerty list values #1 $93,000 #2 $63,000 #3 35,000 #4 27,500.

Only about 30 are known.

I am an old man who feels the time has come to pass it to a better caretaker. I am aware of all the "scam" gimmicks so do not even try.

I have a clear Texas title in my name.

Should you wish to buy the car it is for sale. If your objective is just to mess with me I really would appreciate you not calling.
