Also, a little background on this car. It was completely serviced after sitting in a collection for several years. Items installed include; all new tires, replacement brake booster, phosphate hinges, complete fluid change, all dash likes and wiring replaced, new windshield wiper motor/washer, all new reproduction OEM belts, power steering pump, front end alignment, new drivers seat foam and cover, rear speaker and wiring replaced, complete panel alignment, and anything else it needed to be road worthy. The car was also Concours detailed by Atlanta’s best. Add it to your collection, drive it to a show, take it for judging, or just for a cruise in. It needs to be apreciated and to see it in person, it’s absolutely stunning. That is also the original smog pump and system.
awesome thank you for the extra insight!
