Notes:
Have had it for about 2 years now. It's a matte black color, has a 223 Straight Six with the 3-on-the-tree
manual. Manual choke. Really fun to drive.
The previous owner did a lot of work on it by replacing all of the bad rusted flooring and a redone interior
with bucket seats and new door panels. I still have original bench seat and panels.
I didn't really drive for first year, but in 2018 I took it to the shop to be worked on - replaced fuel lines,
the shop did a tune up and fluid flush, new battery. To be perfect, needs carb work and idle set down a
little lower to be good.
I drove her at the Hines Park cruise.
