PUT A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES ON MOTOR NEW EXHAUST REBUILT FUEL PUMP ENGINE BUMP STARTS! ORIGINAL (LONG BLOCK) ENGINE INCLUDED LOW MILEAGE CALIF. CAR. NO RUST. WINDOWS AND DOORS ARE SOLID AND WORK WELL. AUTOMATIC SUSPENSION WORKS FINE. NICE DASH CHROME AND CAR STAINLESS TRIM. I LIKE THE WAY THEY HID THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES IN THE TRIM MAKES THE DOORS LOOK SHAVED. THE PAINT IS A CANDY APPLE RED WITH WHITE INSERT NOT THE ORIGINAL COLOR. THAT COLOR IS ON THE INSIDE OF DOORS. MIGHT BE A MALTESE GREY POLY AND DOVER WHITE. OLDER REPAINT HAS A FEW SCRATCHES BUT WAXES AND CLEANS UP NICE. STILL HAS ORIGINAL TRUNK FLOOR PAD.

THIS IS HARD TO PART WITH BUT TRYING TO DOWNSIZE MY PROJECTS…. A FRIEND OF MINE LISTED THIS A MONTH OR SO AGO AND THE LISTING HAD A GLITCH. SO HERE WE GO AGAIN.
