I had hopes of having a frame-off-restoration done and "giving" it to my boys (aka carrot and stick) when they got to highschool. Things have changed and we need a 2nd fuel efficient car. This car is not mint but has been extremely well cared for and may have been restored at some point. The chrome and interior are in great shape. It is all origanal to my knowledge and very rare. I would love to keep it but due to the uncertain economy I have changed our family's long term goals. We are looking to pare down and cut unnecessary expenses. I don't know a whole lot about cars but I'll try to answer any questions as best as a can.
