This gentlemandid not do much with it; he bought a 1966 Thunderbird and I saved this car a few months ago from being abandoned. MO Title is clean and clear to my name, lien free ready to hand to new owner.
No driving noises, intact suspension trouble free, drivetrain is smooth and quiet. Transmission shifts smooth; slight noise from 1st to 2nd if getting on it but shifts through all gears and reverse smoothly without hesitation or hard shifting.
Very original and unmolested car; new vitals purchased turns it in a daily driver, very solid cruiser.
