Notes:
Purchased from the estate of Clarence Bates, having been in storage for 16 years.
The car needs very little body work.  It has a floor shift but the original Teletouch is there, it just needs to be hooked up.  I repaired the speedometer, so the actual mileage is unknown.

Owner is looking for more on this car's history, as well as an electric wiper motor, driver's side chrome, and the molding that goes under rear window on the deck lid.
