The black soft top isa newinstall.The car is a blast to drive, is very reliable, driven regularily,rides great, and has incredible acceleration andhandling. Thiscar isgood old fashion American muscle.

The fuel injection unitwas just recentlyrebuilt with all new parts calibrated to factory specifications by Lyle Davidson of Davidson Restorationin Leesburg, Va. (receipt and documentation). Davidson Restoration also inspected andconfirmed that the car is an original factory fuel injection car and provide a letter documenting everything inspected in making thatdetermination.Mr. Davidson states in the letter that "The entire restoration used many NOS and or period correct pieces to construct, and a remarkable amount of craftsmanship went into it."

During restoration the cargot anew front end clip. The ownertold me via e-mail (copy in file) that there was sagging in the front end drivers side. Davidson Restoration documented the quality of the replacement and made the following statements, "the construction and craftsmanship of this front end are tasteful and within the top 95% of those that I've observed to be installed correctly to include installation ofbonding strips."

The front end was just aligned and the wheel bearing packed. There is no vibration in the steering wheelor pulling period but there isslight side-to-side play in the steering column. The undercarriage looks new. The body restoration and enginerebuild weredone between 2007 and 2008 (receipts).The tires are reproduction wide white wall radials.The car has a new speedometer and quartz clockinstalled in 2015. New gas tank and sending unit installed in 2012, new 4:11 differential gears in 2013 (receipts).The hardtop hasa new windshieldweather strip.

All gauges work well and illuminate including the emergency brake and high beam indicators dash lights as well as all exterior lights,turn signals, and license plate light. I have the original clock (not working), speaker (working) andwonderbar radio (workingbut dark). The radio that is installed is a 100% looking replica with the exception that it has FM and an Ipod jack.The FMnumbers arerecessedin the dial and not seen without looking into the dial face (video). To kept period correct the electronics were adopted so to switch between AM/FM/Ipod you simplyturn the radio on and off quickly.

Matching white wall spare tire, original sissor jack, crank handle, lug wrench.

The GM Accessories Tool Kit (Vlchek Drop Forged tools - 2wrenches for hardtop, one for the spare tire board,pliers, flat head screw driver and hammer).
