Old on the outside, but all updated underneath. Runs and drives excellent! Always starts right up and needs nothing. Easily cruises at interstate speed...and often in the left lane passing by people with confused looks and large smiles.
Built to be easily drivable and highly dependable but with an old farm truck appearance. Mostly used for cruising around town and hauling hot rod parts/motorcycles/whatever needs hauled.
