| “The car was repainted at one point to yellow you can see the original red color under the hood and trunk. The radio is not stock. It looks like a chrome Hitachi alternator was installed. There are seat covers on the seats now. The seats underneath are in decent shape.The body has a little rust starting to form by the wheel wells. I can send up close pictures upon request. I don't think there are many of these left on the road. Here is your chance to own a collectors item.” |
