This example was located in Nashville with its former owner of 9 years already tastefully restored and upgraded with some modern conveniences to be a safer road going unit. This included the addition of tube-style shock absorbers, hydraulic brakes, and electric turn signals. Upon arrival to our facility, we gave the fuel delivery & ignition system a complete overhaul with new fuel pump & filter, rebuilt carb, new plugs, and wires. We also rebuild the starter, rebuilt all the brakes, and provided the car with a new battery. The odometer only shows 70,892 miles which may be correct from new, but we have no way to prove such a claim. We can however, attest for its outstanding running capacity, ease of starts, smooth clutch engagement & gear selection, and now positive brake pedal to bring it to confident stops! A really great car from a great collection! Please call with additional questions.
