It was sold by the estate and is now in my possession with all supporting paperwork documenting it only has 40. 97 miles (I am driving it on rare occasions so it will change a little bit) and a clear signed title.

It also comes with all of the original equipment such as 8 track player and cartridge holder along with the original warranty paperwork for the stereo. nbsp; vintage after market Ice scraper and dust cloth from that era.
