better in 2012, it also comes also with the original Rochester 4v carburetor and air cleaner available as part of the package, this demands the use of premium fuel for best running, rated at 330

smooth and strong, has a full tune just completed to make this perform well, the original carburetor and air cleaner are available for value (SEE LINK) and showing as everything else is all stock

Buy with confidence!!! Fraser Dante Ltd fully checks all of its vehicles thoroughly…before a customer has their vehicle shipped, it has a small road test; this, of course, recognizes that this is a classic show type vehicle. All fluids checked, fresh oil, oil filter, and spark plugs, all lights working unless noted, brakes are checked, and a full checklist comes with the vehicle. The vehicles are nicely detailed with great effort. Our vehicles have had excellent work by top classic car mechanics. Many photos document lots of work along with valuable "number' sheets.
NOTE, we supply proper legal paperwork, NO open titles, to insure complete transfer of ownership. We send an appraisal on the vehicle and then help with insurance. We fully, accurately and honestly, describe the condition and components of all vehicles to a great extent…in short, we tell the truth. We have sold fine quality classic and special interest vehicles around the USA and in Europe and now are in our 26th year.
