Work included rebuilding the stock Solex Carb along with full tune up including adjusting points/timing and Valve Adjustment. Compression Test completed - engine is very healthy with 140 PSI on all cylinders. Newer tires. Starts right up and shifts smooth with no grinding on shifts up or down. Headlights - brakelights - turn signals - ALL WORKING.
Patina paint in it's original yellow color - straight body. Small dent on top of nose and driver door. A few rust areas but overall a very solid CA car. If you are intending to restore it will need a new top. Comes with car cover.

*** Regarding the top: The top has the original front wood bow and wood piece in the rear of the top as well. The original glass is also present and not broken or cracked. The top material is completely torn. The top will go up and down as designed however comes up about 1" short of closing(presumably because the material is hard/dry and is preventing the top from fully extending. *** Regarding ownership: I have only owned for a short time. The person I bought it from owned it for about 8 years. I do not know the ownership history prior to that.

*** As a result of questions regarding VIN under rear seat I have removed a rubberized coating that was covering it and confirmed it is a match to the other VIN #'s. I have a photo if anyone would like to see it for verification. I tried to put in my ad but it will not allow me to change photo's since bids have been placed.
