CB radio, power antenna, and dual rear speakers provide a
period-correct entertainment system rarely found intact in such
pristine condition. Inside, the black leather bucket seat interior
remains beautifully preserved, with minimal signs of wear
consistent with the car's incredibly low mileage. The cockpit
