The side and rear deco trim has been removed for that classic look race look. The paint is holding up well and has lots of depth and shine, but there are some minor stone chips, see pic and one soft dent on the drivers door, see pic.The door jams appear to be original and still have the original paint on them, see picture of Paint and Vin tags.

Overall the car has a very good feel and presence, looks very nice, has had a lot of time effort and money spent on it to get it to this level, but is not to be considered restored or perfect, since this was not the object, it is just a really nice fun car. *Now for the sad part.Last time out, several months ago, following a missed gear change, the engine was briefly over revved, and lost power, and then had to be towed. No further damage was inflicted to the engine.The good part is that the engine still runs at low rpm with no smoke, but now it makes a noticeable clacking noise, and has no power, the probable/possible cause is most likely a bent valve or a skipped timing chain. The new owner will need to fix this before the car can be driven.That said the car will make a splendid project for somebody. Car sold as a running but non driving project, as is where is no warranty of any kind.Please look at all the pictures, ask all questions before bidding, I will make the vehicle available to your mechanic to inspect.
