RESTORATION.IT IS JUST TIRED. GLASS IS ALL GOOD AND MOST ALL TRIM IS THERE. THERE ARE A FEW MISSING BITS LIKE PARKING LIGHT, HEADLIGHT TRIM, SOME REAR EMBLEMS, WIPER ARMS AND MOTOR. MECHANICALLY THE CAR IS UNKNOWN TO ME. THE ENGINE TURNS OVER FREELY AND BRAKES INCLUDING HANDBRAKE ARE FUNCTIONAL. IT IS MISSING PART OF THE DISTRIBUTOR, SOME COOLING HOSES (I HAVE THE MISSING FANS) AND SOME OTHER ODDS AND ENDS. WHEN WE HAVE PULLED THE CAR AROUND THE SHOP ON A TOW ROPE, THE TRANSMISSION IN GEAR, THE ENGINE TURNS OVER. BUT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH SOME PIECES OFF THE ENGINE, IT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE SOMEONE WAS DOING SOMETHING TO IT. I DIDN'T REALLY CARE AT THE TIME BECAUSE I HAD INTENDED TO PUT A LATER MODEL JAG ENGINE IN IT SO ????? WE ONLY HAVE NOTARIZED BILL OF SALES FOR CARS THIS OLD HERE IN GEORGIA SO THAT IS WHAT YOU WILL GET. DON'T GET ME WRONG, THIS CAR NEEDS TOTAL RESTORATION BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN MONKEYED WITH ALOT AND IS A PRETTY GENUINE ORIGINAL EXAMPLE IN REGENCY RED WITH BISCUIT INTERIOR.
