Exterior

Green and white two tone paint presents very well with only a few minor chips in the paint, ne touched-up scratch found on the drives side front fender. Bumpers were rechromed in the last year, he rest of the trim is in good shape, ome flaking of the chrome found around the blinker lenses. Original glass is cracked on the two drivers side windows, eather stripping appears original and is cracking in places. A replacement set of re-chromed windshield trim is included with the car. New wire wheels and Coker tires also recently installed.

Interior

Upholstery is in great shape and was redone in the past year. Some marks can be seen on the back of the drivers seat. Wood in the back area looks original but has been refinished. Some minor wear/cracking can be found at the edges nearest to the tailgate.

Mechanical

331 Hemi V8 runs well, he engine can be a little slow to start due to the 6V system. Rebuilt semi-auto transmission is a bit quirky to shift but once you’re used to it, ot difficult to drive. Clutch does chatter a little if you engage it at idle. Front end and all the brakes were recently rebuilt.

This car has gotten a lot of attention since it arrived at the museum and just needs a little bit more to complete the restoration.
