This sedan looks like a time capsule! Everything looks incredibly clean and well taken care of. I don't know enough to know for sure if it's all original, but it sure looks that way.

I sent a message to the seller suggesting that the starting issue might be the neutral safety switch.

I wished him luck. That price is very good (too low?)

This guy buys and flips Cadillacs, first time I've seen him sell something else, much better priced than what he sells other stuff for. Seems like a lot of car for 13k. The color combo is a bit unusual, there's not much to nitpick on this especially for the money.

Red car with a brown interior ? This car is all sorts of messed with.
Lots of options ? Outside of A/C and power swivels, I see a pretty
plain car. Whoever authorized the 59 body restyle should have been
drawn and quartered. That top half of a hamburger bun hanging over
the headlight is so good looking !

Not saying you are wrong but...

After 2nd Year Engineering, in the summer of 1970, I worked for Marathon Oil in a small town. A newly graduated Mechanical Engineer started about the same time. Not long after, he showed up at work with his "Graduation Present" to himself. A Chevelle SS with the big 454 Cowl induction engine that he had ordered. The car was red with the black stripe option. The interior that he selected wasn't the white or the black that I would have chosen to go with the red but a brown/tan vinyl/leather. I hated it at the time but as time wore on, I decided that I liked it after all.

So somebody *could have* (maybe) ordered that Desoto with red paint and brown interior. Only the Build Tag knows for sure.

This is what the 70 Chevelle looked like, except with a brown/tan interior.

According to the ordering forms/lit, a brown interior was not possible
with a red paint job. However, history has proven with these FL cars,
that if one had the right connections, just about anything was possible.
