This is a 51 year old car and is being sold as is. I have done my best to describe every detail, both positive and negative. This is not a concourse restoration. However, it is a great summertime ride daily driver. It has been a real joy driving this car and talking to people about their experiences owning these cars in the past. I hope you can find as much enjoyment with it as I have.
