This is an excellent running and driving car. It is an older restoration and the paint is not perfect but presents nicely as shown in the pictures. Looks great for cruising and car shows and has the "right look" and two-tone paint scheme to turn heads. Has a few areas that will require attention if you desire. The previous collector put tape on some delaminating paint near the rear window. I've never removed it and it's never been a problem. Bumpers are outstanding and were re-chromed at some point. Interior is very clean and original. Has a split on the driver's seatback which I'm told can be fixed without removing the seat. Has been undercoated - this car came from a dealer owner's collection. It was probably saved (as a four door) because it was in a dealer owner's collection.
Drips oil and trans fluid. Just an annoyance. I keep a pan under it as shown in the picture. Can been seen in Knox, Indiana by appointment.
Below are the current values as a reference. Remember that this is an extreme low miles example.
Car sold as-is where is with no warranty. Please ask questions. I have done my best in good faith to describe this car.

Class 1 is a 100-point show car, and prices will not be included because at this level of perfection, each car can fetch an individual amount.
Class 2 is a winning show car, in all-around excellent condition.
Class 3 is a car that could enter a show, running smoothly with very little evidence of wear.
Class 4 is a driver car that runs and drives well but is in need of cosmetic repair.
Class 5 is barely running and in need of serious repair - a step up from parts car.
