Thanks to everyone inquiring & bidding on this great car. A few people wanted to know if all the gauges, signals, etc, work on the vehicle. The answer is yes, all the dash gauges & lights, signals, lights, tachometer, speedometer, etc. are in working order. There are only a few things that do not work or have minor flaws as follows:
1) Factory in dash clock does not work. I don't think they ever do unless you put a quartz movement in them.
2) Original AM radio does not work. I figured most people would want a more up to date stereo so it was not restored.
3) Deluxe factory plastic seatbacks. These are 48 years old & have a few cracks & repairs. I heard from a competent source that the reproductions don't fit well so I chose to keep the originals on the car. Stainless trim that attaches to these is in decent shape.
4) vent & quarter windows have original chrome. All other chrome & stainless trim pieces were replaced and / or polished.
5) Paint is decent 2 stage (base coat / clear coat), considered good driver quality paint job . Far better than any 'production' paint job, but not a $15,000+ flawless paint job.
