This is an unrestored, well maintained car that is a true survivor. It is not flawless and has some scratches, minor dings and wear.

I have installed a new set of Ridler 17” wheels and Falken tires to give it a pro touring look. Other than that, I added a hidden AM to FM converter to allow us to listen to radio. Every thing else is original and it comes with the original wheels, tires and hubcaps. The original tires have been well kept over the years. They have little wear and very little cracking.

The car is currently in heated storage and is accessible.

Feel free to ask questions and further pictures can be available upon serious request.
