This car was recently purchased from it's long term Texas owner from the mid-1970's who attempted some restoration work through his ownership, but with a family couldn't find time. At some point, the car's doors, hood and trunk were painted as a jump start to the cosmetic restoration. The only mechanical work that was needed at the time was a rebuilding of the master cylinders and a radiator clean-out. The mileage reads around 62,000 with the seller verifying.
The body and chassis on this car are excellent with no signs of any major damage. There are some straightforward rust repairs needed to the outer rockers and some pictured spots on the front driver's floor and mid passenger floor. The fenders are excellent and this car has been garaged forever, so it doesn't suffer from any other TR4 rot. The trunk floor is solid. Nice front and rear inner fenders.
