The only thing on this car that is not original or period correct is the front disc brakes. Those were upgraded soley for safety. This is a super nice running and driving car. With the exception of the radio it all works. I mean everything, wipers, interior lights, exterior lights. This car could pass inspection today. It starts with the momentary push of the button. Runs like a clock, shifts normally, stops as it should with the upgraded brakes. The Dash is the nicest I have ever seen on a driving original car. The knobs are perfect, dash covering as you can tell from photos is amazing. Front carpet will need some attention but since I believe it is completely original I don't want to remove anything. Seats are covered with well fitted plastic covers and I don't see any rips or tears on the fabric. It has been on a long time, I anticipate seats will be in great shape. The floors are solid, trunk is perfect. This car needs to be seen and driven to be appreciated. It was well cared for and can easily be driven as is. The bad. I will error to the worse but like I said it is hard to describe how wonderful a find this auto is. Inside issues: radio is all there but does not work. Some carpet wear, drivers area will need sewing or replacing. The trim paint has a bit of fading on drivers door where you put your arm out window. Exterior: lots of tiny rock chips in front area from being driven, you can make them out in photos. Small section right front corner by bumper where paint is peeling and rust is starting. Right rear fender is a shade off in color, must have been repainted but is already scraped again. Have a title but it is signed by previous owner so not sure of the pain that may involve. His bill of sale will be included. Not sure of actual mileage. The Good: Most is covered above but this car has original, period correct push bumpers on both front and back. The rear one folds down to open trunk, I have never seen that before. It also has the visor as you can see from photos. If you would like any information or additional photos just ask. This is not a show car, but a super driving original car. It is easier if you call than email. Ernie 972-489-8729
