Over $65K invested in restoration to date.

While the car has been fully restored, it is not without its imperfections. They are as follows.The AC does not blow as cold as I think it should. The side glass could stand further adjusting to improve sealing - doors require additional effort to close when all windows are up.Steering requires additional effort at idle speed.

I have tried to be as honest as possible in describing the car. Please feel free to ask questions. I encourage you to physically view the car, if at all possible, or arrange to have it inspected - allat buyer's cost. Additional pictures available upon request.
