Fun car, reliable to drive, not bad for a 40 year old car. All receipts available, PHS documents, etc. 5/5 Car (Looks great passing by 5 mph at 5 Yards). Not a 100 point national show car or full resto mod, but very enjoyable weekend cruiser and local car show entrant.
Any questions please ask, additional pictures upon request.
