Serious buyers feel free to contact Jim at 816-729-8513 On Jul-18-14 at 13:26:42 PDT, seller added the following information: I have had a few calls asking me if they won the auction, could they just come pick it up, and drive it home. As disclosed above the odometer only had shown 488 miles, since the restoration. Today, I took it for a nice long drive. Around town, on the highway etc. The odometer now shows 507 miles. It performed very very well. Nice tight steering, strong responsive motor, shifted smoothly, and the radial tires gave it a smooth ride. LOTS of smiles and waves! Yes, folks you could drive it home. :-} Jim On Aug-04-14 at 15:54:03 PDT, seller added the following information: This weekend I installed new chrome door handles.
