As you would expect with a car of this care in restoration, the lights, wipers, clock, washer, windows, seats, top, etc. all work, the dash is not cracked, and the glass is not chipped.
NOTE: The 47000 miles shown above are the estimated total miles. The digital speedometer was installed a few years ago and shows about 5400 miles. The car was purchased in California with about 41000 miles on the speedometer before the restoration began.
