| This car is a labor of love, but needs to be taken to the next level by someone else. She is currently a daily driver, but could be promotedto a trailor queen. The body is straight and the color and interior are correct.
| It is loaded with power options, some of which do not work, including the AM radio, cruise control, auto headlight dimmer, and a few other non-essential things. The A/C does not work, but all of the the parts are there. The passenger sun visor needs to be restitched, and the steering is a little loose, suggesting that the steering gear box should be rebuilt. | No rust, no leaks, no smoke.
