new motor stabilizers, new door latches and window regulators, new

and drives well. A great driver car that can be driven as is or
taken to the next level. Panels seem to lineup nicely and all the
chrome and trim is intact and in very good condition. Trunk
compartment is clean with original jack. Includes spare tire
mounted on 5th wire wheel. Undercarriage is clean as well with no
