Maybe this should be forwarded to the guy selling the car so
that he can amend his description.

Convertible one-bay
In answer to all the speculation on the '59 Sport Fury
convert. Richard will be 55 in October. Neither he nor his father
was the original owner of the car. He bought it about '80 and I think it
came from Tennessee. It was restored "ecconomically" by '83 Was a
body off frame, but had rust in all the normal places in fenders, quarters,
etc. and I do mean all of them. "Ecconomical" way at the time was to
fiberglass all these areas-cloth and resin. All the body work has held up real
well, but it has just sat in a warehouse all these years. It's a real
nice looking and running car and is a genuine Sport Fury. Worth the
opening bid? Probably. Worth lots more. Probably not.
