previous owner went through all of the fluid systems, (the car sat
for awhile before he bought it). He installed New wheel cylinders,
changed tranny fluid. Found that number 7 cylinder was low on
compression so he pulled head and found bad rings (probably seized
due to sitting) He dismantled engine and installed new rod bearings
and mains. cylinders were clean but turned crank anyway. Carb. was
also rebuilt. Reassembled and tuned. Car runs perfectly and
dependably. Has original bill of sale and owners book. Only known
