This car is well constructed, with attention to detail. I call it a driver, because I drive it, I don't show it. I keep it clean, and of course garaged, but the fun for me is driving, not waxing.
The clutch and transmission operates smoothly.
An indoor car cover is included, as is a tonneau cover
The sale includes 20 books and manuals.
The car is located in Fort Davis, Texas. The photos are current and do a decent job of describing the car, but I welcome inspections, just contact me to arrange a time.
Delivery is the buyer's responsibility, but I will gladly assist as I can. I have an enclosed trailer, and will consider delivery at what I consider a reasonable cost and reasonable distance.
