From the Collection of a Gentleman Roxboro, North Carolina
Over 20 years of ownership by one man, with multiple refurbishments over this time. It was trusted to the same mechanic through this tenure of ownership. This is a well preserved, and maintained vehicle.
The following condition report, while thorough, is not exhaustive as vintage cars have inherent wear and imperfections. We welcome personal inspections.
The seats were recently completely restored including padding; door cards and carpet remain from an older restoration, and present well; blower motor for the fan does not operate, reason unknown; a new windshield wiper motor is installed, although not operational; mirrors are reproductions, as well as wire wheel caps; front windshield is a replacement, but all other original glass remains; during restoration all rubbers were replaced; the original chrome remains and in excellent condition, apparently re-chromed in the past; tires dated 103, likely 2013; paint is in excellent condition; no other apparent concerns.
