Less than 2000 miles on rebuilt engine, new tires, new brakes, and many other new parts. This is a nice old car from 10 feet away; it is not a show car. The car is licensed, insured and has been driven weekly this summer. In September the car was driven 250 miles for a car club one day cruise with no problem and no oil usage. You can drive it home.
