1959 Dodge Custom Royal

Description1959 Dodge Custom Royal Sedan, Low Original 58k Miles. 361ci V8 still sporting original Carter 4bbl AFB carburetor Push Button Automatic Transmission Gorgeous Interior will all the original decor and stainless. We acquired this Dodge among many others as a collection purchase belonging to the late owner of an Upstate New York Dodge Dealership. It seems the Dodge was a 2 owner Pennsylvania car when acquired back in 1996 with 58,002 miles, with only a couple hundred miles logged over the past 27 years. Needless to say the Dodge has had its full share of sleep. When we saw it for the first time, we immediately fell in love with the swooping eye-brow like upper fender shape and trim until we looked at the back and that was it for us... The Booster-shaped taillight fins are incredible and match its dramatic styling. The body panels are all metal and original to the car and under a bit of dust we could see that the paint and trim finish were truly in great condition. Rear quarter skirts can be easily attached or removed in seconds as they are not bent and also in excellent condition. Underhood was and still is very stock; We pured some gas in the 'ol Carter Carburetor, replaced the battery, checked oil level and whammo! This sleeping beauty fired right up and held idle. We brought her home and went through it for safety inspection among oil and filter changes, brakes, lower radiator hose, and a few minor doodads. We rubbed and polished the exterior and noticed that at one point (not sure excatly when) The hood, roof, and trunk lid were re-painted at some point. Most likely due to fade, scratches and chips, or discoloration.. This Royal Lancer has the 361ci V8 producing 305 HP straight from the factory. Seating upholstery is among the best we have seen even in many newer vehicles, the seats are in great condition and the Black-Gold Metallic Speckled Tuxedo Fabric goes in style with the Royal's Motif. All the gauges are clear and working as they did back when the Dodge was parked. The wide white wall tires by Firestone are of course old and with flat spots, we advise having them replaced if so requested we will per new owner's wish with another set of wide whites. Underside you would notice that this Mopar is solid, very dry, and other than superficial browning, indicative and typical of its age, factory undercoating, and storage in a dry facility. Also notice the exhaust is still single exit and via original manifolds. This Big Dodge comes with the original build sheet and owner's manual. We sell and ship worldwide. Read More
