Red hardtop is near perfect, all tinted glass is mint -no damage, headliner is clean and bright with one very minor stain (which can be dyed-over], all trim and rubber on hardtop is mint, as is the interior rear wood window trim.

Taillight plastic is perfect, chrome surrounds shiny and excellent originals

Headlight chrome is perfect, passenger side plastic excellent


Mint original jack, tool set and case [shown] plus all manuals, pouch, and wheel chuck [not shown]

Faults: Minor scratches on both side door glass, minor vinyl repair on lower outside of driver's seat near the base [very difficult to see or photograph], small cracks 1/2" on grill side of plastic headlight surround. Scratches on lower windshield trim on passenger side.

This is, by inspection and by driving, a very well cared-for original that has been thoughtfully brought up to near-show cosmetic condition. It is not a show car, but a superb driver at half the cost of a restored “ trailer queen.” Car is being sold as-is, no warranties and is worthy of consideration for anyone who wants a terrific looking, excellent running driver.

We welcome your inspection by buyer or their agent. I am in East- Central Pa. - one hour North of Phila. and 1 1/2 hours West of Manhattan. Thanks for looking. – Mike (610) 393-6227
