Notes:
I bought the car on E-bay from a dealer in Chicago, IL. He had just got
the car from the previous owner who lived in Wild Rose, WI 54984. I flew to
Chicago with a friend and drove the car back home to PA. I had no trouble
and the car handled beautifully.
I plan on doing the restoration needed over time, once I learn more about the car.

The car is not perfect cosmetically. The interior is all original, nice and clean
but mildly showing signs of age. Nicely preserved headliner, seating areas,
carpeting and dash. Nice running engine (with original windshield washer bag, too.)
I like the way this car drives, shifts, handles and brakes. It's easy to drive and
fun to be seen in while doing so.

Condition:
Excellent

Underdash gauges added
Accessories included:

Notes:
Paint has a nice shine quality with some hair-line cracking here and there. The
chrome is bright for the most part with some 20% pitting factor on only some of the
ornamental trim. The glass is clear and looks like 18,000 mile glass. The
body is nice and straight as you would also expect from an original, low mile car.
