Just a brief history I purchased it from a woman owner who bought/titled it in NJ in 1981 with 3,908 miles showing on the title (I do have that title copy to convey to new owner) the odo now reads 8,713 I was told they were original miles my NJ title states actual miles however i have no other supporting mileage docs hence due to the age of the vehicle i am selling as mileage exempt. Interior is believed original it looks amazing. Original lacquer paint was checking typical due to age hence I decided to give it a fresh Torch Red paint finish just recently completed.
