This car benefitted from a frame on cosmetic restoration and it has only been driven very sparingly since then. Mileage shows 62000 which appears to be correct but cannot be confirmed.
During the restoration, the car was painted , the car was again wet sanded and buffed to an incredible shine. This car is very straight and show worthy. A tall statement for such a large car.
The car has been waxed and buffed by a professional detailed for 36 hours until the black paint looked deep and rich. The new Black/White interior shows flawlessly (by the way, black is the original color of this car). The glass is pristine and the chrome is shiny. The car is very well cared for and easy to photograph. The pictures really speak very clearly about the overall condition of the car.

It is a very strong driving and shifting car. Furthermore This is a factory air conditioning car the ac has been modernized and works great.
