Notes:
This car has been stored in climate control conditions but also has been driven and drives very well.  The interior is all new from the headliner to the carpet.  Over $10,000 has been spent in mechanical/appearance.
The car mechanically has gone through a major rebuild at 75,000 miles.  We have a complete parts and labor list but to highlight, the following major items were addressed: Starter and alternator rebuild, carburetor and front suspension, repair/replace both cylinder heads, grind valves and seats, converted heads over for unleaded fuel, new water pump, reconditioned radiator, new battery cables, upper and lower ball joints and new exhaust.  Customized center console.  Original AM radio is in the car, the AM/FM radio in the console will be removed.  The tires are in very good condition, the spare looks to be original.  The trunk is clean and has original pad.  The large speaker in the trunk will be removed prior to sale.  The car has aftermarket underbody lighting and an alarm system.  There is some rust and a dent on the front passenger side fender, behind the wheel.  There is a crack in the paint on the driver side front around the wheel well, and a discolored spot on the hood.

The car does start very well but does need a battery tender to maintain a charge.  The battery is good and the mechanic was unable to pinpoint the problem.
