73,000 original miles. 3rd owner had for 37 years. I am the 4th owner. Black plated and raised in California, no rust. It has the original engine and transmission except for valve covers and carburetor. Rare exterior and interior color combination from the factory. The work done in the last 2 years: Exterior paint from frame up, new interior except for the following: original interior parts left on the car i.e. sun visors, radio speaker cover and seat belts. I still have some original interior parts. Chrome polished, new hubcaps but I have the original hubcaps still in good condition. New weather stripping to include windshield. radiator and heater core rebuilt. Transmission was rebuilt 200 miles ago. It has new exhaust, has aftermarket radio for sound quality, I do have a wonder bar radio that will go with the car. Hardtop only. All of the gauges work except for the clock. This is a rare car due to color combination and original transmission and engine. This car is the original color for the interior and exterior as it came from the factory. It has never been for sale on ebay or at any auto auction. On May-29-11 at 16:42:32 PDT, seller added the following information: I listed the Pro's now here are the Con's: The car is 51 years old and has a little slack in the steering that makes it drive like an old car. It also has the old style tires that make it rough riding not like a radial riding tire. Even though I had the transmission rebuilt by a professional, I am still waiting for a neutral safety relay that prevents the car from starting in reverse or drive. After installing new door handles and panels, the key is not allowing me to lock the car from the outside. Even though it is actual miles, the speedometer fluctuates a little while driving.
