Sellers description:
This car comes from the 2nd owner of 43 years in California and as a result is very solid with good floors and trunk bottom. The hinge points for the bonnet are solid. All matching numbers. The car was originally opalescent maroon and has been painted driver quality red paint. The interior has new foam in the bottom of the seats, new hardura carpet under the seats, and new front carpet. The car runs and drives well and has all new front brake calipers, brake lines, and brake pads. It has a new brake master cylinder, new brake servo, new clutch master cylinder and new clutch slave cylinder. It has a new high efficiency radiator core, rebuilt windshield wiper motor, and new heater fan motor. It has the Original Blaupunkt am/fm/sw radio and it works! It has a new totally collapsible antennae. The engine compartment has been detailed to nice street standards. The inside of the bonnet and under the nose of the bonnet have just been painted. The bonnet has a new rubber seal and the trunk lid has a new rubber seal. The top is very good with clear rear window with some scratches. The chrome is above average with the left rear bumper having some scratches. The wheels are very good and the Uniroyal tires have like new tread. They say blemished, but this must be about the whitewalls (which doesn't matter as they are turned in on the wheels), because the car runs very smooth and straight. The car has a new set of series one knock off spinners for the wheels. It has a new knock off hammer, owners manual, and the original factory jack and handle. This is a great looking and solid driver to enjoy the beautiful spring weather.
