I also will have the new A/C charged up. On Oct-11-12 at 09:21:08 PDT, seller added the following information: I am getting questions, and would like to disclose, there are a lot of small flaws in this car. when I purchased it, it needed total restoration. the paint job will need for you to evaluate. the value in my opinion is that there was only one built like this in 1968. I will write out the assembly line story for new owner and give evidence with car. it is all original. you are going to have to do work on it to be a # 3 plus. The running gear is like a new car. I forgot about rear bumper has slight bend in it.
