LOTS OF NEW PARTS INCLUDED TO FINISH FRONT SUSPENSION UPGRADES AND A LOT OF THE MECHANICAL IMPROVEMENTS WERE DONE RECENTLY AND NOTED BELOW. I HAVE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL, COPY OF ORIGINALLY ISSUED TITLE (THE 1ST OWNER I PURCHASED FROM) SHOWING ORIGINAL DATE OF SALE 03/07/1967 WITH 4 MILES ON CAR; I ALSO HAVE AND WILL INCLUDE SOME OF THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MAINTENANCE RECORDS AND REPAIR INVOICES. I am the second owner. I purchased the vehicle from an estate two years ago and the vehicle had been garaged and off the road for 15 years prior. The original owner was actually a little old lady, no joke. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to complete the restoration and give this classic the attention it needs for preservation and cosmetic restoration. When I purchased the vehicle I did quite a bit of essential restoration making it safe and reliable for a road trip from Maryland to Florida and back, and experienced no issues. The vehicle was used regularly for weekend pleasure and is in sound condition and can easily be a daily driver if needed.
