Need a 59-60 390.
Would like to purchase one that's rebuilt and repainted. Would also be interested in a well maintained used one also. I can arrange shipping and have it picked up also. Easier to call or text.
Thank John 662-251-0708

Best to leave your options open to years up to 1962. Great improvements to the transmission over the '59 models. Engines are pretty much the same.
Current:
1976 Eldorado Convertible in Crystal Blue FireMist with white interior and top. (Misty Blue

Past and much missed:
1977 Brougham de Elegance
1976 Eldorado Convertible
1972 Fleetwood Brougham
1971 Sedan de Ville
1970 de Ville Convertible
1969 Fleetwood Brougham
1969 Sedan de Ville
1959 Sedan deVille

Hi,
I have a good 1960 - 1962 block, if you decide you want to rebuild one vs buying one already rebuilt
Thanks

Trying to buy a ready rebuilt painted engine and trans seams like a big ask.

I have about $8000 into rebuilding my engine and trans and that does not include actual cost of an engine and trans core.

It may be that you are hoping to buy off of someone who has paid for it and given up when they get to bodywork.

Can you give an idea of the price you are willing to pay.
