Engine rebuilt - not numbers matching - bored .030 over with mild cam and electronic ignition and electric choke. Original carb and manifolds. Aluminum timing chain cover, new water pump. Air Cleaner as seen in pic is actually just modified from original housing, so factory air filter still used.

All steel of the body is straight and original. No rust and decent paint. Paint has minor flaws.
Chrome is in good condition, no rust spots. Some stainless around the windows is dented and both bumpers are not straight (believe the car was jacked or towed by bumpers in past)

This car requires nothing, put gas in it and drive. Brakes are still stock arrangement, suspension is still stock arrangement except lower springs. Vintage Air was installed to clean up firewall for restomod- hot rod look.
