'59 Electra coupe -$85000

You could get the mirrors mounted far and away like the passenger's side or you could get it in close, but never in this arrangement. If it's an oversight than it's a stupid one. The modern A/C unit is one thing; notice how they don't show the whole dash? I wonder what else is amiss there. There's probably nothing wrong with this car functionally but for the money being asked I would prefer they kept it dead-stock but a perfect showroom ready restoration.

 

That's how I felt about the mirrors. I just don't understand going to the massive expense in restoring a car and dropping the ball at the end. The have also lost alot of the detail under the hood, for this money, it should have been refreshed under there

 

Kinda weird the drivers door mirror door mounted to clear the antenna. Shouldn't the antenna be in the back? At least the passenger mirror should be equi-distant to match... Agreed on the "No dash pics". Probably a digital control. Looks outa place...Still kinda interested in that $800 blue '69. After market AC is no biggy on a driver, but at 85K youd expect an OEM re-fit.ws

 

It's on Evil-bay right now, there are some more pictures. Whoever built this found every conceivable option available that year. It has the full A/C dash and power seat along with the windows. It's on a Dynaflow which is better than the Triple Turbine offered that year. It still is quite nice and well built, all the little things considered.

No guide-matic, and a base radio, surprised those were not added. This thing has to drive and ride like a dream

 

• Holes in the dash to either side of the (warped) map light where the power antenna & rear seat speaker switches go, also.
• I would expect the TranSportable radio option to be heavily featured, were it so equipped.
• "power DISC brakes" - oy.

I do not see sideview mirrors on the B-59 option list. I believe they only came, driver's side, on the 225 convert, and otherwise were dealer-installed, not completely sure. The fore-n-aft placement of the sideviews here is a bit schizophrenic, IMO.
