Vehicle Details
The car is a driver-quality barn-find type vehicle, not a restored or showroom example, and should be viewed that way.
Mechanically, it starts, runs, and moves under its own power. Since my purchase, I have had the fluids changed, visible leaking seals replaced, and the vacuum system repaired so the headlights and other vacuum-operated functions could work properly. That said, I would still recommend a full drivetrain inspection and overhaul before anyone attempts regular or long-distance driving. At this point, I consider it suitable for local movement, loading onto a trailer, short test drives, and around-town use only until it has been gone through more thoroughly.
Mileage is unknown. The odometer shows approximately 37,000 miles, but the title reflects 80,000 miles and is marked as exceeding mechanical limits. The prior title does not show the earlier mileage, so the true mileage cannot be verified. Based on the overall condition, it appears to be somewhere in the 30,000 to 80,00
