From an Important Collector Burlington, North Carolina
A frame-off restoration was performed in 1991. During current ownership since 2016, the following have been updated/repaired: wheels stripped and repainted with new tires mounted, front lever shocks were rebuilt, and V8 a-arm bushings installed; new bumpers and overriders were installed, the grille surround re-chromed, all new wheel cylinders, brake shoes replaced, and a front sway bar was added.
The following condition report, while thorough, is not exhaustive as vintage cars have inherent wear and imperfections. We welcome personal inspections.
Tires dated 2016 with 8mm tread; paint in overall good condition, with some minor solvent pop on the hood and few areas of paint with touchup; front window rubber cracking from age; trip odometer does not operate; no other apparent concerns.
