FOR SALE
1953 Nash Ambassador.
Hi MOL.
I mentioned a month ago I was selling one of my Ambassadors.
This 53 Ambassador has been a fixture at NCCA events here in California for the last 25 years.
Restoration was started in 1980 (interior, paint, chrome) and completed in 1984 (rebuilt engine,
hydramatic, steering gear and suspension).
It has 30,000 miles since the restoration.
Color is non-metallic gold and ivory. Details below.
Interior needs work. Headliner is showing stress from age. No holes but looks old. Windlacing needs replacing. Back seat needs work.
Some unraveling of the threads in the seat cushion and the top areas are suffering from UV damage. Carpets are reasonably good.
Door panels are excellent for it's age. Engine compartment is fair, but could use repainting on the engine and details.
Overall it presents itself as a very well maintained 30 year old car.
RECENT WORK INCLUDES:
New Starter (12 volt system)
New Generator
Electric Fuel Pump
New Radiator
Repadded front seat
New trunk handle medallion
KNOWN ISSUES:
Interior work, mentioned above.
Wiper motor needs R&R
Starter button under dash, select2start is disconnected
No radio from factory. Has factory "delete" plates. (has antenna)
Clock needs R&R
Horns need R&R
Could use new tires. Tires have 80% tread left but they're 17 years old.
$14,500. Will consider all reasonable offers. I want to sell it thru the NCCA.
I'll only Ebay it as a last resort. 951-233-2109 (after 5PM CA Time) or email, saicheck@mac.com.
If you want specific photos of areas of this car, email me and I will forward those to you.
