rattles - a truly remarkable daily driver that will give any modern
day muscle car a run for it's money! The 6 speed manual
transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears and the
temperature always remains cool!This is a rare opportunity to own a
great daily driving and never abused example of a totally restored
