Description:


This is a retired racer which has apparently been little used on the street and which
has been in dry storage since 1962. The suspension bushes are little worn and original and the
seats, in particular the passenger's show virtually no wear. The car is in very good condition
save for a few dings and dents which are the result of minor battle damage. The only area of
rust on the entire car is a 2" x 3" section at the rear of the left rocker, not involving the
spring perch.
